What is Flexion-Distraction Therapy?
Non-surgical spinal decompression offers a gentle, effective solution for individuals experiencing back pain and related issues. By gradually stretching the spine, this therapy reduces pressure on vertebral discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract. This relieves strain on the surrounding nerves, providing relief from discomfort associated with conditions like degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain.
The benefits of spinal decompression extend beyond pain relief. This therapy improves circulation within spinal discs, enhancing the flow of oxygen, water, and essential nutrients into the spine. This nourishment aids disc repair, helps reduce inflammation, and promotes overall spinal health, which can prevent further degeneration. Over time, patients may notice improved range of motion, better posture, and increased flexibility, making daily activities easier and more comfortable.
Spinal decompression is especially valuable for those with nerve-related symptoms. By alleviating pressure on the nerves, it can reduce symptoms like radiating pain, tingling, and numbness in the legs or arms. Patients with sciatic pain or nerve impingement often find that spinal decompression therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery, with fewer risks and minimal recovery time, helping them regain function and quality of life.
