Benefits Of Spinal Decompression In Santa Monica

By William Clark


Injuries may cause misalignment of the disc along our spine. It, therefore, results in intense pain on our lower back and neck region. These patients should seek medical assistance from a chiropractor. Undergoing Spinal Decompression Santa Monica will help relieve such injuries. An individual has a choice of using a surgical or non-surgical method of treatment.

The procedure is very effective in treating various conditions. A person with herniated discs or spinal stenosis should consider this traction method. Also, care and treatment of sciatica and disc degeneration can be achieved. Correction of unsuccessful back surgeries can be done.

A doctor can apply an open surgery anywhere between the neck and the lower back region. The process encompasses removal of soft tissues, lamina included, to give room for the nerves and the extraction of the spur bone. The processes include Foraminotomy and many others. Also, the surgeon can decide to create incisions through which an endoscope can be inserted. This allows for an operation which is less invasive and also relatively less risky.

A patient has a non-surgical decompression therapy as an alternative. The method involves the use of a Decompression Traction System to help rehabilitate the clients. Once a person lays flat on a motorized table, the computerized system adjusts it to a suitable angle thereby targeting the particular disc responsible for the pain. By simulation of an anti-gravity effect on one's spine, the herniated disc moves back to its correct position.

Depending on the extent of an individuals injuries, he can undergo one or more surgeries. A chiropractor can advise an individual to go through a series of periodic operation until full recovery. To some, an operation and post-surgery physiotherapy are enough. Before using DTS, a person is taken through a pre-treatment physical therapy evaluation. After that, a traction session of almost an hour is applied to the patient. The procedures are usually supplemented with other therapeutic physical exercises so as to boost its effectiveness. The therapy can take between one to three months.

The non-surgical procedure is preferable for many reasons. The method entails minimum to no pain. The sessions are described by many past clients as a comfortable and pain-free session. There is also no fatality during the process. Opposite to therapy, Laminectomy, Laminotomy, and all other surgeries are precarious since a person may die on the operation table. The process of healing is fast when using the traction machine.

However, some people cannot be possible candidates for the DTS method. If you have a tumor, pregnancy or a metal implant, you should not try this method. Also, any advanced Osteoporosis or a fracture disqualifies you.

In conclusion, despite the possible shortcomings, decompression as a traction method is very efficient. A stubborn backache and neck pain can be minimized or be completely treated through the above methods. The condition of our spinal cord and the nerves around it is improved. Furthermore, it is affordable.
