If you have consistent back pain, you are already familiar with how this condition disrupts your life. Finding relief is all a back pain sufferer can think about. Spinal decompression, which can be done in a chiropractor's office, is really only a high-technological type of traction. Its success rate is remarkable for bulging and herniated discs, sciatica nerve pain, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and several other afflictions.

A Description of the Decompression Technique

Spinal decompression is a chiropractic technique that tenderly stretches a spine in need of care. Ultimately, spinal decompression modifies the position of the spine, which then alleviates pressure from the spinal discs.

Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that helps to relieve back discomfort. As a result, herniated (or bulging) disks may retract, removing pressure from the spine and nerves. This then helps to encourage transport of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.

A significant difference between the two traction types is the presence of a computer in performing spinal decompression. The computer software measures and controls the amount of traction pull which is applied. The continual measurement provided by the software eliminates the risk of damage to the muscle or muscle spasms.

A Description of Standard Traction

The application of traction to the spine simply calls for the pulling of the spine at a pre-determined force and rate. In general, there are no technological feedback loops to determine how the traction is working at any given moment, other than the patient's personal perception.

Technologically advanced systems for decompressing the spine gradually increase the force of traction. The more sophisticated controls from the software have the capacity to alter parameters based on the reactions of the patient. The patient's body adapts and relaxes during the procedure, making this type of session more likely to heal the pain and injury issues.

Traction techniques simply pull the spine in one direction. Eventually, the body reacts to this pulling motion by tightening surround muscles or even causing spasms in the muscles that surround the spine.
