What is nonsurgical spinal decompression?

Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a treatment that gently pulls and stretches your spine using mechanical force. This helps improve back pain in several ways. It can: 

• Relieve pressure on the nerves in your spine
• Improve blood flow to your discs
• Bathe your spinal discs in healing nutrients
• Create negative pressure in damaged spinal discs

All of these things give your body the ability to heal damaged discs, restore their structure, and ease your pain.

What conditions does nonsurgical spinal decompression treat?

Nonsurgical spinal decompression treats many causes of back pain, including:

• Bulging discs: Discs that push outward in one area, protruding into the spinal canal
• Herniated discs: Discs that break and leak gel into the spinal canal
• Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal
• Degenerative disc disease: Thinning spinal discs
• Sciatica: Compressed sciatic nerve in the lower back
• Posterior facet syndrome: Inflammation in the facet joints in the lower back

If you have serious back pain, nonsurgical spinal decompression may be one of the best treatments to relieve your pain naturally. 

What other treatments work with nonsurgical spinal decompression?

NeuroSpinal Institute of Broward offers other state-of-the-art treatment options alongside nonsurgical spinal decompression. Depending on your condition and individual goals, you’re likely to have a combination of treatments during recovery. A few of those are:

Normatec compression therapy

Normatec compression therapy encases the legs to provide compression through pulse massage. It helps eliminate excess fluid, fights inflammation, and promotes circulation to stimulate recovery.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)

EMS generates light electrical impulses through small electrodes. They stimulate your muscles, ease pain, and encourage healing.

Vibration plate

The vibration plate uses biomechanical principles to help simulate the effects of exercise. It can be a good option for people who can’t exercise as usual due to conditions like strokes or arthritis. 

The team believes in whole-person wellness, so they always treat the root cause of your pain and promote the ideal atmosphere for full healing. Other systemic (whole-body) treatments are also available, such as intravenous (IV) therapy, nutritional supplements, and more. 

If you’re living with chronic back pain and prefer to avoid invasive and painful treatments, nonsurgical spinal decompression may be right for you. Click the online booking feature or call NeuroSpinal Institute of Broward today.
