If you’re a Seattle resident and are considering this treatment for your spinal pain, read on to learn a little more about how it works. After all, life is too short to one, live in pain, and two, try new things!

What is Spinal Decompression?

Decompression of the spine is a form of pain therapy that uses a special decompression machine to apply negative pressure and correct traction of the spinal discs. This is a case when negative pressure is extremely appreciated! This back pain treatment is effective at relieving pain from conditions such as degenerative disc disease, sciatica and pinched nerves.

Decompression Machines

SD machines are used throughout the world (in over 200 countries) and have been approved by the FDA to relieve cervical and spinal pain. Applications include herniated discs, bulging discs, and other common back pain conditions that put pressure on the nerves of the spinal column. These disorders are just a few that this therapy can help heal.

How do Spinal Decompression Machines Work?

Most decompression machines utilize motorized rollers to manipulate the spinal column precisely at the affected areas. Negative pressure is created inside the disc to suck in or bring back the portion[s] of the damaged disc. These portions are also gently stretched to relieve pressure from the affected nerves, while properly aligning the spinal discs. The spaces between the damaged spinal discs are freed,giving the affected areas a chance to heal. This treatment allows for true healing, not just temporary relief from the painful symptoms of neck and back pain. Pain medications just disguise the condition, while back pain is a potential risk, not to mention expense.

Spinal Decompression Success Rate

This non-invasive, alternative back pain treatment has proven through various tests and trials to have an 88% complete success rate. Not only does it have a high success rate, it has no side effects, other than mild aches and pains 24 hours after the treatment.

Seattle area back pain sufferers can find relief through spinal decompression. The region is blessed with a number of quality chiropractic clinics that offer spinal decompression treatments. So go ahead – visit a reputable Seattle chiropractor for a consultation to see if Spinal Decompression is the right treatment option for you!
