Effective Pain Relief for Back and Neck Pain
At Seland Chiropractic, we offer advanced spinal decompression therapy for patients in Fishers, IN, who are struggling with chronic back pain, neck pain, or conditions like herniated discs and sciatica. This non-invasive therapy can provide significant relief by gently stretching the spine, creating space between the vertebrae, and relieving pressure on compressed nerves.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, safe, and effective method for treating conditions that affect the spine. By using controlled, precise stretching of the spine, the therapy helps relieve pressure on the spinal discs, allowing them to rehydrate, repair, and heal. This process helps reduce pain and improves overall spinal function.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression
Patients suffering from conditions like sciatica, bulging discs, or degenerative disc disease can benefit greatly from spinal decompression therapy. Benefits include:
- Pain Relief: Spinal decompression relieves pressure on compressed nerves, reducing pain in the back, neck, and legs.
- Non-Invasive: This therapy provides an alternative to surgery for individuals dealing with spinal conditions.
- Improved Mobility: As pressure on the spine decreases, patients often notice improved flexibility and mobility.
- Promotes Healing: Spinal decompression can accelerate healing by improving blood flow to damaged discs and increasing nutrient intake.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
At Seland Chiropractic, we use spinal decompression to treat a variety of spine-related conditions, including:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs: Spinal decompression gently reduces pressure on the discs, allowing them to heal and return to their natural position.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: The therapy helps relieve pain caused by worn-out spinal discs.
- Sciatica: For patients with sciatic nerve pain, spinal decompression can help relieve the pressure on the nerve, reducing symptoms like pain, tingling, and numbness in the legs.
- Chronic Lower Back Pain: For those suffering from long-term back pain, spinal decompression offers a non-invasive, effective solution.
How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works
Spinal decompression therapy involves a specially designed table that gently stretches the spine. Here’s how it works:
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a detailed examination to determine if spinal decompression is the right treatment for your condition.
- Spinal Decompression Session: You will lie comfortably on the table while a harness is fitted around your lower back or neck. The table will then gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure within the spinal discs.
- Relaxation and Healing: The therapy session lasts about 30 minutes, during which you can relax while the spine decompresses. This allows the spinal discs to rehydrate and heal naturally.
Non-Surgical Relief from Pain
Many patients prefer spinal decompression therapy as a non-surgical alternative to invasive back surgeries. By addressing the root cause of the pain—compressed spinal discs—this therapy helps to relieve pain without the need for drugs or surgery.
