The best way to know for sure if you are a contestant for spinal decompression therapy is to consult with your Chiropractor and see if they prescribe the treatment for you. They will be able to help you find the best treatment options base upon your pain or injury condition.
However, below is a list of some pain symptoms or conditions that are often considered for spinal decompression therapy:
Herniated Disc and Sciatic Nerve Pain Patients: Using spinal decompression therapy on a herniated disc patient can relieve pressure on the disc and promote healing. Many sciatic and herniated disc patients report feeling pain relief after multiple sessions on the decompression table.
Degenerative Disc Patients: Degenerative Disc Disease occurs when the padding between the vertebrae slowly breaks down making the spine less and less stable which puts pressure on the surrounding nerves. Using spinal decompression therapy can help to reverse the side effects of degenerative disc disease by alleviating pressure on the spine and allowing the vertebrae padding to heal.
Facet Syndrome Patients: Facet syndrome caused pain in the joints of two vertebrae and is typically caused by general wear and tear on the body from aging. Spinal decompression therapy can help to correct the deterioration of the spine and help to cure the painful side effects of facet syndrome.
Failed Spinal Surgery Patients: For patients who received spinal surgery but have not experienced a pain reduction or are still suffering from chronic pain, spinal decompression treatment may be your best option. These treatments can help to relieve chronic pain from a failed spinal surgery.
Patients who don't Improve after Non-Operative Treatments: Patients who have tried other treatment options such as medical massage or physical therapy, and are still suffering from chronic pain, may find the relief they are looking for with spinal decompression therapy.
