What is "spinal decompression" and does it work? Has anyone had it done for low back pain?
Answers:
I have not had this procedure, but I have known many people who have And have had very good results. it's one of the best treatments available for back pain because it's nonsurgical.
It is a nonsurgical treatment for low-back pain and pain in the leg, neck or arm that works by reducing loading of the spine.
Spinal decompression therapy to address loading customarily involves near-daily, hour-long sessions over a span of roughly 2 to 6 or 7 weeks during which spinal stabilization exercises are a regular component.
Giving encouragement to the proponents of spinal decompression therapy are numerous clinical studies demonstrating that the therapy does indeed cause disc space to decompress, generally by producing and sustaining negative intradiscal pressure. One such study looking at patients with herniated and degenerative disc disease found that 86% of 219 subjects who completed decompression therapy reported immediate disappearance of symptoms, while 84% of the total remained pain-free for 3 months afterward; 92% of the cohort showed varying degrees of physical improvement—those gains were locked in for the vast majority of them 90 days after treatment.
Naturally, spinal decompression therapy is not for everybody. Conditions helped by it are largely confined to sciatica, disc hernia, disc protrusion, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy
