Are You a Good Candidate for Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a nonsurgical, low-risk treatment option for lower back pain. If you want an alternative to prescription painkillers, surgery, or other invasive or dangerous back pain treatment options, you should consider spinal decompression. At Genesis Physical Medicine and Chiropractic, we specialize in treating low back pain with safe, effective chiropractic therapies including spinal decompression in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Conditions Treated With Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a conservative medical treatment option that is a safe alternative to surgery and prescription medications. We may recommend spinal decompression to treat:
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Slipped discs
- Pinched nerves
- Sciatica
- Bone spurs or cysts
- Spondylolisthesis
- Age-related disc degeneration
- Arthritis of the spine
How Spinal Decompression Works
During spinal decompression, you will lie fully clothed on a comfortable, padded traction table. We will attach a harness around you to keep you safe and stable during the treatment. Our chiropractor will use a computer program to make the table move. As the table moves, it will slowly and gently stretch your spine, limbs, muscles, and joints. This can cause herniated discs to retract and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. As the spine shifts back into alignment, you will experience pain relief, reduced inflammation and stiffness, and improved range of motion and mobility.
Who Should and Shouldn’t Consider Spinal Decompression
You should consider spinal decompression if you have lower back pain caused by any of the conditions above. You should not undergo spinal decompression if you:
- Are pregnant
- Had a failed back surgery
- Have a spinal implant
- Underwent spinal fusion surgery
- Have spinal stenosis
- Have an abdominal aortic aneurysm
