Look, it was only a consultation but I feel I have made the right decision seeing a chiropractor. They did a little cracking of the back and it was that that made me feel I was in the right place. He explained the plan of action and I am looking forward to finally getting rid of this sciatica pain. I've tried everything except surgery. I've been dealing with this for a year. Stay tuned because when I'm pain free, you will hear about it.

How does Spinal Traction Work?

Spinal decompression uses traction to help gently stretch and relax the tissues around the spine. This helps relieve pressure on the spinal cord, which can reduce pain and improve nerve function. It also promotes healing by increasing blood circulation to the spine and surrounding tissues.

Spinal traction can be applied manually or mechanically. Mechanical traction is the most common type of treatment that usually involves a patient lying comfortably on a table while a connected machine gently stretches the spine. . Manual traction involves a provider manually manipulating the joints and muscles into a state of traction to expand spaces between each vertebrae. 

Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression?

Before participating in any form of spinal decompression, always speak with a professional. Most adults can enjoy the benefits of spinal traction but there are certain contraindications including women who are pregnant, patients who have had a spinal fusion, failed back surgery, broken vertebrae, or have had disc implants.

Contact the Springfield Wellness Center today at 217-726-0422 to see if spinal decompression is a viable treatment option for you.
