What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical way of getting rid of your everlasting back pain. The procedure of spinal decompression is to stretch out your spine gently. Then the decompression slowly forces the spine to change positions. During this process, the spinal cord relaxes. The procedure eases the discs on the spinal cord which leads the bulging disks to fall back into their place.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy
A spinal decompression has many benefits; here are some of them for you:
- Instant Pain Relief: The decompression therapy allows you to relax your spine and helps you in getting rid of your existing pain. An injured or disrupted spine is a host of pain for you and your back. Getting yourself a decompression therapy will aid you in getting rid of the pain.
- Promotes Healing of Spinal Disks: A decompression therapy also targets the bulging disks. A spinal disk which bulges is apparently not working the way it should be. The decompression therapy puts a vacuum like pressure on the spinal disks, which allows the excess fluids to flow and helps the spinal disks to heal. And it may also be the cause of severe back pain and could lead to other health problems in future. A decompression therapy gently eases these spinal disks and lets them function as they are supposed to.
- Restores Normal Alignment: Decompression therapies focus on your spinal cord. The procedure of a spinal therapy gently stretches your spine and then moves onto carefully fixing the positioning of your spinal disks. These disks, once in their original place, stop hurting you and stop causing you excessive pain as before. Along with this, the alignment is easily fixed and which allows you to regain the same spinal function as before.
The main benefit of a spinal decompression therapy is to relieve you of the back pain which just doesn’t seem to leave you alone.
