The Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy

Many people suffer from back pain. About 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Also, 30% of people in America live with back pain. Spinal decompression will gently stretch the spine while relieving pressure from the spinal discs and the nerves that make up your spine. This release not only feels good but it also promotes the flow of nutrient-rich fluids into the affected area. Some other benefits that come along with decompression of the spine include:

Shorter recovery times: you can return to your normal activities soon after your procedure is complete
Safe for all ages: no matter if you are young or old the procedure is completely safe
Non-invasive: it is great for severe back or neck pain
No required medication: your spine will heal naturally
Quick procedure: it lasts about 30 minutes and there is no need to worry about wasted hours being spent in a hospital waiting room to recover

Who Should Not Have Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression?

If you are pregnant it is best for you to not try this procedure. You should also avoid nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy if you have any of the following:

Tumors
Fractures
Spinal metal implants
Advanced osteoporosis
Abdominal aortic aneurysm

As always, check with your doctor to make sure that you are a good candidate for this therapy.
