Decompression in Madison
If you’re seeking a safe and non-surgical way to alleviate disc-related problems in the spine, decompression therapy may be right for you. This therapy is particularly effective for patients with conditions like degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. Unlike general traction, decompression therapy specifically targets these disc issues by creating a negative pressure within the disc, promoting healing and pain relief.
How Does It Work?
Decompression therapy works by gently stretching the spine, which allows the discs to create negative pressure. This negative pressure pulls nutrients into the disc, increasing its height and providing more space for spinal nerves. As a result, the nerves can function more effectively, reducing the symptoms associated with disc problems.
By addressing the root cause of the pain, such as a bulging or herniated disc, decompression therapy can lead to significant relief and improved spinal health.
Benefits of Decompression Therapy
The primary benefit of decompression therapy is its ability to address the underlying causes of spinal pain rather than just masking the symptoms. Some of the key benefits include:
- Alleviates pressure on the spinal discs
- Promotes nutrient-rich fluid flow into the discs
- Enhances disc height and spinal nerve function
- Offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery
- Helps improve overall spinal alignment and health
What to Expect During a Session
During a decompression session, you can expect a relaxing and comfortable experience. The therapy involves lying on a specialized table, where a harness gently stretches your lower back or neck, depending on the treated area. The pull is light and controlled; most patients feel comfortable throughout the process. If you experience any discomfort, Dr. Hoover will adjust the treatment to ensure your comfort.
