Back pain is a routine issue that affects many patients of all age groups. There are a lot of different causes of back pain, but one of the most regular is our spinal discs. As we get older, our spinal discs no longer have their flexibility and that results in discomfort. Luckily, there is a procedure available that can help – spinal decompression therapy.
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for back issues that uses traction to stretch the spine. This helps take the pressure off of your spinal discs and easess the pain. Spinal decompression therapy is mostly done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home after each session.
The technique begins with you lying down on a table. The table will then slowly and gently stretch your spine. This stretching action creates negative pressure within your discs, which causes them to bulge and herniate not as much. As a result; your pain is less.
Spinal decompression therapy sessions last about 30 minutes and are usually done 2-3 times per week. A lot of men and women start to notice results after about 8-12 weeks of treatment.
If you’re suffering from back pain and want a greater chance of getting relief, spinal decompression may be a good treatment option for you. This therapy uses traction to stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the discs, which can help reduce pain. Give Dr. Stakes a call today at +65 6235 1220 to schedule an appointment.
