A spinal decompression machine can be an extremely effective way to treat and relieve back pain. If you suffer from back pain, you know what it is like to suffer in silence. You may be tired of taking heavy duty pain killers that do nothing but leave you with a clouded head. You may even be considering surgery. However, many people have found relief through using a spinal decompression machine.
This type of treatment works best for people who are experiencing back pain because of pressure on the nerves. This can be due to disk compression. When this is the case (which is about 75% of the time), a spinal decompression machine can relieve the pressure and allow the nerves some time to heal. This will cut back pain out completely in a few weeks time.
However, if your nerves are pinched because of bony growths or stenosis, a spinal decompression table is not going to help you. You will likely be looking at surgery in order to cut down the bone and release the nerves.
There are a couple of different treatment plans with this sort of machine. Generally, you want to go into the chiropractor’s office in order to use on. You lay on the table, and your spine is adjusted to stretch out. You can also get an inversion table, which takes the pressure off the disks in between your spine.
When you first start, you will have daily sessions of about 20-30 minutes in length. As time goes on, the sessions will be more spaced out. After a few months, you should be pain free and only need an occasional adjustment.
