Most people experience pain in their lower back and neck at a point in their lives. But if the discomfort results in radiating pain in your leg, shoulder, or arm, you have decompressed nerves. The decompression can happen due to herniated or degenerated discs. 

Spinal decompression is a form of traction treatment. It uses a motorized table to promote natural healing. It works by spacing the spinal discs and relieving pressure in a non-invasive way. The discs return to their normal position after the pressure reduces or gets relieved.

The pain often comes from conditions such as degenerated or herniated discs. It can also result from nerve root pressure, spinal stenosis, and spinal arthritis.

Pain Relief

Spinal decompression results in proper spinal alignment to help it function correctly. Many people seek spinal decompression for pain relief. Most of the time, discomfort results from pressure accumulation in the nervous system. Such pressure stems from general inflammation all over the body.

Pain can also result from body tightness when nerves get squeezed between other body parts. People with such pain often do not get relief from prescription or over-the-counter pain medications. Fortunately, you can loosen up your whole body through spinal decompression. Inflammation also reduces as decompressing promotes circulation. It alleviates pain and other health concerns.

Heals Discs

Most people have so much stress exerted on the discs. It can damage them and make it difficult for healing resources to reach the discs. When the body has good blood circulation, the body can take healing resources to various parts. The parts that cannot access the resources may be critically injured.

Spinal decompression heals discs by opening them up. It creates a space between them to suck all the inaccessible healing resources. As a result, the stressed spinal discs heal naturally.

Aligns Joints

Joints have a significant effect on general health. Most people live without considering the state of their joints and if they are out of place. Serious cases of misaligned joints can cause severe conditions such as hernias.

But even if the misalignment does not result in severe problems, you may suffer from stiffness, pain, and inflammation in your body. Spinal decompression helps realign joints and bring out your energy and healing potential.

Quicker Healing

Spinal decompression can be a primary and supplementary treatment for most health concerns. People who combine physical therapy with spinal decompression get better results. All your body parts depend on your spinal health for proper functioning. So taking care of your spine through spinal decompression is taking care of your general health.

Spinal decompression can help you relax and find great comfort as you manage other health concerns that you may have.

Relieves Nerve Pressure

A compressed body can exert pressure on your spinal discs and nerves. Most people experience so much pain because of pinched nerves. You may have gotten used to living with mild discomfort that you feel needs no attention. But the moment you hit an unexpected twinge by making a wrong move, you can experience excruciating pain.

Surgery can treat some cases by cutting out the tissue around the spinal nerves to give the nerves some space. However, you can opt for a non-invasive approach such as spinal decompression. Doing so can align your joints and loosen up your body by creating space around the compressed spinal nerves.
