Herniated discs can cause significant pain, numbness, and mobility issues by compressing nearby nerves. Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical solution designed to relieve pressure on the spine and promote healing. According to research, spinal decompression has shown effectiveness in reducing pain and improving mobility in patients with herniated discs.
If you live in the Houston or Spring, Texas area and are dealing with herniated disc pain, Drs. Billy Cheong, Kesia Broome, Elias Madrid, Tabotha Green, Francis Jopanda and their experienced team at Elite Spine and Health Center are here to help.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy uses a specialized table to gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure within the affected discs. This pressure change encourages herniated or bulging disc material to retract, relieving pressure on nearby nerves and improving circulation to the injured area.
This therapy can treat a range of conditions, including:
- Herniated and bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica and nerve compression
- Facet joint syndrome
How Spinal Decompression Helps Herniated Discs
Spinal decompression therapy offers several benefits for patients suffering from herniated discs:
- Relieves nerve compression and reduces pain
- Encourages rehydration and healing of discs
- Improves spinal alignment and mobility
- Reduces the need for surgical intervention
A study published in Pain Research and Management showed that spinal decompression can significantly reduce pain levels in patients with herniated discs and improve their quality of life.
