Chronic back pain can be a constant nuisance and keep you from enjoying time with family and performing well at work. If you’re looking for a new treatment option, spinal decompression therapy may work for you. There are many benefits of this therapy which other treatments can’t match, and your chiropractor will work closely with you to get the best results.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy

1. Fast & Easy

Spinal decompression is a simple procedure that can take as little as 30 minutes, depending on your needs. During a session, a chiropractor will use a machine to stretch your spine, alleviating pressure on spinal discs and allow them to heal. It’s a pain-free process, and it usually creates immediate pain relief. There’s also a very short recovery time; you can walk out of the office as soon as your treatment session is completed.

2. Safe

Decompression therapy is natural and non-invasive, making it much safer than other treatments. With surgery, you increase the margin for error, even with a trained surgeon, and medications can be difficult to adjust correctly for pain management. There are little-to-no risks with spinal decompression, with the most common side effect being muscle spasms; your doctor can adjust your treatment levels to reduce the incidence if necessary.

3. Cost Effectiveness

Back surgery can be expensive, and there’s no guarantee that it will work. Pain management medications can also be expensive and aren’t always covered by health insurance. Spinal decompression therapy is much more cost-effective, and you’ll save additional money by not having to pay for recovery or take time off from work.
