Spinal Decompression

Questions

• What is Spinal Decompression?

  A traction-based, non-surgical procedure called spinal decompression is used to treat degenerative disc degeneration, bulging or ruptured discs, and other spinal diseases by releasing pressure from the spine and reducing pain. Using cutting edge technology, we at Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre gently stretch the spine to generate negative pressure inside the disc. This aids in the retraction of material from herniated or bulging discs, encouraging the flow of nutrient-rich, oxygen- and water-rich fluids into the discs to aid in their recovery.

• How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

  You will be placed on a specially designed table in a comfortable posture for spinal decompression therapy. With the help of sophisticated digital technology, the table gently pulls on the spine. With this force, which is carefully regulated and customized to meet your demands, we can accurately target the spine's damaged regions. In order to decrease disc bulging, generate negative pressure inside the discs, and encourage the body's natural healing process, the decompression technique alternates between light tugging and relaxation.

• Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy?

  Spinal decompression treatment may be helpful for people who are

  1. chronic neck or back pain
  2. Leg pain that radiates or sciatica
  3. bulging or herniated discs
  4. degenerative disc disease
  5. Facet syndrome
  6. Back pain following surgery

  If spinal decompression is appropriate for your problem, our skilled physiotherapists at Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre will do a comprehensive evaluation. To develop a customized treatment plan, we consider your medical history, present symptoms, and general health.

• Is Spinal Decompression Safe?

  Yes, when performed by qualified specialists like our staff at Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, spinal decompression is a secure and non-invasive treatment option. Our tools are made with your safety in mind, and we keep a close eye on how you feel and how the therapy is working. It's crucial to remember that not everyone can benefit from spinal decompression, including individuals who have osteoporosis, fractures, tumors, or other spinal diseases. Our staff will do a thorough assessment to guarantee the treatment's efficacy and safety for your unique requirements.

• What Can I Expect During a Spinal Decompression Session?

  In a typical session at our center, the following is what to expect:

  1. First evaluation: To fully understand your issue and choose the most effective course of treatment, our physiotherapist will conduct a thorough evaluation.

  2. Preparation: The decompression table will be placed in a comfortable position for you. Typically, the session lasts fifteen to thirty minutes.

  3. Decompression Process: Your spine will experience a mild traction from the table, which will cause the damaged discs to decompress.

  4. Relaxation: After just a few sessions, many clients report that the procedure helps to relax and that their pain has significantly decreased.

  5. Post-Session Care: To maximize the advantages of spinal decompression and preserve spinal health, our physiotherapists may suggest particular exercises or extra therapies following your session.

• How Many Sessions Will I Need?

  The severity of your problem and how well you respond to therapy will determine how many sessions you need. For best outcomes, a sequence of 15 to 20 sessions spread out over a few weeks is advised. At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, we keep a close eye on your development and modify your treatment plan as needed to get the greatest results.

• Are There Any Side Effects?

  The side effects of spinal decompression treatment are usually mild and well-tolerated. Following a session, some patients may feel slight soreness in their muscles, similar to what happens after an effective workout. This is common and goes away in a day or two. At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, our staff is there to answer any questions you may have and to make sure you're comfortable during your course of treatment.

• How Do I Know If Spinal Decompression is Right for Me?

  You should make an appointment for a consultation with one of our skilled physiotherapists to find out if spinal decompression is the appropriate course of action for you. We will do a thorough evaluation, talk to you about your symptoms and medical background, and collaborate with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your individual requirements and objectives.
