Nonsurgical or surgical spinal decompression can reduce the pressure on affected areas and allow you to move with ease. Dr. James Castle can tell you how intersegmental traction may facilitate your recovery.
The Benefits of Intersegmental Traction
Non-surgical spinal decompression can complement a range of other therapies, such as massage therapy or acupuncture. This non-invasive therapy is often included as part of an effective treatment plan offering benefits like:
- Improved oxygen, blood flow and movement of nutrients to an affected area, promoting healing.
- Reduced pressure on injured disks often causing a retraction of bulging or herniated disks.
- Decreased pressure on surrounding nerves and structures.
- Being able to perform daily activities and exercises more easily.
- Reduced pain in the back or neck.
Individuals may require a series of in-office treatments. Patients often experience less discomfort, inflammation and muscle tension soon after a session.
Surgical spinal decompression may be suggested depending on specific conditions and response to other therapies. There are inherent risks to any surgery which Dr. Castle will explain. A patient may not feel immediate relief after surgery and may have to wait until the healing process is complete to notice a significant difference.
