Everything You Should Know About Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a US patented treatment method/therapy which provides long-term relief from spine-related disorders. Non-surgical spinal decompression works by stretching the spine and attempting to reduce the stress on the joints.
The working principle behind this treatment is that by inducing traction via a computerised machine upon the lower back, spinal decompression assists in reducing pressure on the discs between the vertebrae.
How Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy Done?
The procedure of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy starts with a spine specialist fitting you with two harnesses, one around your pelvis and the second around your trunk. You will then be asked to lie face down or up on a table.
The spine specialist will operate the computer, customising the treatment as per the distinct requirements. The procedure may take around 30-45 minutes to conclude and 20-28 such sessions might be conducted over a period of 5-7 weeks. Before or after the procedure, you might be given other kinds of treatment, like:
- Electrical stimulation (electric current which leads to specific muscles contracting)
- Ultrasound (utilisation of sound waves for producing heat & facilitating healing)
- Heat or cold therapy
How much does Spinal Decompression cost?
The cost of spinal decompression treatment may differ depending on the issue the person is facing. However, it’s much more affordable compared to the cost of spine surgery.
