About Spine Pain
The lumbar and cervical spine are vulnerable to strain because they carry a lot of weight and are heavily involved in movements like twisting and bending—normal, everyday actions that make up our daily lives. Lumbar muscle strain can be the result of the muscle fibers being torn, and lumbar sprain is caused when the tissues are abnormally stretched.
When the spine becomes strained, the soft tissues get inflamed. This causes pain and muscle spasms, and even though this is a debilitating condition, it does not mean that a surgical intervention is the only option.
What is Decompression Therapy?
Your nerves may get compressed for a variety of causes, which include injuries, aging, and inflammation. Decompression therapy uses mechanical traction to help open up areas like your lumbar, where the spinal nerve roots go through to reduce the pressure that they go under. It also helps reposition joints and slipped discs, which results in avoiding suffering from severe pain.
If you suffer from any of these conditions, you may need spinal decompression therapy:
- Slipped discs from joint or autoimmune conditions like arthritis or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)
- Degenerative disc diseases, which causes pain in the lower back.
- Spinal cord injuries, which can cause pain in spinal nerve roots (radiculopathy).
- Sciatica, which causes severe pain in the lower back.
- Spinal stenosis, which narrows the openings in your spine close to your nerves and causes back pain.
