Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical procedure that gently tractions your spine to correct your alignment. There is a direct link between spinal disfunction and misalignment to conditions like lower back pain, neck pain, and sciatica.This is a much safer alternative to invasive, dangerous surgeries and offers both short-term pain relief and long-term correction of chronic pain conditions. Dr. Kawa is a specialist who has been offering Spinal Decompression in Brick for years. Research shows it is a proven and effective way to treat spinal disfunction.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Therapy sessions typically last less than 15 minutes, and occur 3 times a week for 1 month. Then you transition from passive to active treatments as your body responds. Most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments and are released from treatment after 8 weeks.
A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons, and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and helpful therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in the rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc, but to also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck. Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of re-injury.
Why Spinal Decompression is Important
Spinal decompression is performed using a special type of traction table where the patient lies comfortably while being gently pulled to open up the disc space between the vertebrae. The gentle force helps to create a “vacuum” effect on the disc, or a negative pressure that causes the jelly-like fluid in the middle of the disc to move back towards the middle where it belongs. This can quickly relieve pressure on the delicate nerve roots exiting the spine.
The spinal discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae and are often exposed to uneven compression forces. Compression and “shearing” forces over years cause the outer layers of the disc to break down, creating tiny fissures or openings. Once these openings are present, the jelly-like inner material of the disc starts to “worm” its way through the opening. This causes bulges and leads to herniations, or inner material leakage.
Unfortunately, those suffering from this condition usually start experiencing numbness, tingling, and pain in the arms or legs; depending on which disc is involved. It is interesting to note, however, that many people with disc pathology will not experience symptoms until many years have passed. Studies suggest that about 35% of people with disc herniations don’t experience pain. But even in the absence of pain, nerve disturbance can result in organ, muscle, or gland malfunction.
What Does Dr. Kawa Say?
Dr. Kawa, an expert in administering spinal decompression therapy, states “Decompression is a must for anyone wishing to slow down spine and disc degeneration and avoid becoming a surgical candidate.” In fact, says Dr. Kawa, “Spinal decompression, if done properly, can actually heal the disc and significantly reduce pressure on the nerve roots.”
