Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical form of treatment which relieves chronic back pain by stretching the spine using motorized traction therapy which puts less pressure on spinal discs and nerves. Spinal pain often affects the mental and physical well-being of an individual by interfering with mobility, worsening the pain, and lowering overall independence. Customers can experience difficulties with the most basic tasks such as sitting or standing, and it can lead to a decrease in physical activity and increased emotional discomfort. The resulting discomfort may lead to social isolation of people, medical expenses, and the family dynamics. Spinal decompression therapy tries to overcome these health, social, and financial problems so as to restore balance and quality of life to the affected people.
Spinal decompression therapy is a time-tested technique that is not invasive and has fewer risks and no recovery time. It aims at physical causes which it maintains directly as opposed to medicine which mainly suppresses symptoms. It is effective in most situations when combined with exercises or changes in lifestyle, which leads to a holistic approach to comprehensive treatment of the symptom in the long-term relief.
In Physiofitguru, we possess the robospine-100 system, a computer controlled robotic spinal decompression machine. Robospine-100 is used with FDA approved equipment and with proper screening. When given by a trained professional it is normally regarded as safe. It provides a customized and graded traction force as it gets feedback of sensor activities in real-time, which adjusts to the anatomy of a patient. This makes it very specific and gives a degree of control and according to research, it yields better results compared to conventional traction or physiotherapy alone. Robospine- 100 is best when used on patients who have spinal pressure or compression that causes them persistent or chronic back pain. Robospine- 100 is widely used generally on patients who are in good health.
Mechanism of action:
Spinal decompression therapy causes the spine to stretch slowly, thereby creating negative pressure within the discs. This can assist in restoring the herniated material with the help of the nutrients and oxygen flow, thus promoting disc repair. The pain and spinal mobility are often reported to be reduced by patients who have gone through a course of 30 to 45 minutes treatments. The calibrated procedure ensures safety as at some point, observable improvements are realized as therapy progresses. This is an effective technique in the treatment of spinal problems because it alleviates pain, decreases inflammation and enhances the well being of the disc.
Science can use spinal decompression to treat individuals with:
- Damaged or pathological spinal nerve roots (so-called radiculopathy)
- Back or neck pain accompanied with an arm or leg complaint.
- Degenerative disc disease
- Bulging or slipped discs
- Pinched nerves
- Sciatica
- Stenosis
Effects of spinal decompression therapy:
- Reduces Nerve Pressure to move without pain – Nerve compression caused by protruding or rupture discs is reduced by decompression. It pulls back the discs and takes a load off the nerves around the discs as it extends the spine gradually and produces a negative pressure within the discs. Such debilitating symptoms as shooting pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness that can be further extended to other areas of the body, such as the arm or the leg, are directly treated through this procedure. It enhances the mobility, reduces the pain, and helps the long-term spine velocity by solving the cause of nerve pain.
- Increases healing – Spinal decompression enhances blood circulation and supplies of nutrients to damaged tissues to enable the body to heal itself. Increased circulation reduces inflammation and helps in healing of herniated or bulging discs enabling the spine to function efficiently.
- Prevents Spinal Surgery of Patients – In the case of many individuals who are initially recommended to have surgery, it is less invasive and less risky. They notice a great deal of pain and movement improvement in just a few sessions and thus they are able to manage their condition without surgery.
- Helps Retract Herniated Discs – It can work at softening to put back herniated or bulging discs in their proper positions. The method progressively develops a more stable backbone by eliminating the tension on neighboring nerves.
- Quick Relief Without The Risk of Surgery – Decompression means that a patient will be able to resume normalcy immediately as opposed to surgery which involves a long period of recovery and some effects. It is a preferable choice to individuals who have busy schedules and want to have effective pain control due to quick results and brief recovery.
- Enhances the Circulation of Fluid around the Spinal Disc – The Decompression of the spine is necessary to improve the circulation of fluid around the spinal discs that the spinal health and healing require. The therapy enhances movement of oxygen, nutrients and other body fluids into the injured or inflammatory regions by stretching the spine in a mild manner. This enhanced circulation will help in the reconstruction of tissues, inflammation, and restoration of discs functioning. The treatment of chronic back pain with the help of decompression can effectively prevent additional problems because with the help of better fluid movement in the spine, a person will be able to act more quickly in the long run.
- Manages A Multitude of Spinal related conditions
The research carried out observed that 86% of the patients undergoing the spinal decompression therapy after the rupture of the disc reported favourable to outstanding results. The nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy treatment is the only form of treatment that has been shown to achieve the negative pressure effect in the spine despite the fact that traditional chiropractic and physical therapy treatment methodologies may provide temporary relief. In one of the patients at Physiofitguru, all it took was to implement decompression to help the patient who was then struggling to perform his daily chores get back on his feet and be able to move around and climb the staircases.
The spinal decompression therapy may prevent this immediate response by lengthening the spine gradually over time and letting it become relaxed. These phases of activation and rest will cause muscle spasms or muscle guarding reaction and enable the spinal discs to spontaneously re-align without any stress or pressure. Spinal decompression therapy is a versatile method of treatment of various disorders of the spine that may assist in the elimination of pressure, pain, and discomfort.
