Spinal Decompression
Are you looking for spinal decompression in The Villages FL or in Fruitland Park FL? At Etheredge Chiropractic, we have been at the forefront of Decompression Therapy for more than ten years! Decompression Therapy is a gentle, non-surgical and effective approach that has brought relief to a large number of our patients. If you have been told that surgery or epidural injections are the only option for your pain, you might be a good candidate for Decompression Therapy.
Understanding Spinal Decompression
This gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and neck pain relief, and sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art procedure for, bulging, herniated, or degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions. Decompression Therapy utilizes a mechanical traction table that produces an axial decompression force to the spinal column. either the neck or that lower back is targeted for removal of gravitational forces which are causing compression of the nervous system (nerves).
The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduate to a peak over a period of several minutes.
How Long Does a Session Take?
Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.
A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons, and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in the rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc but also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.
Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help maintain your spinal health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence.
