subject: Frederick Spinal Decompression Specialist Treatment For Back Pain [print this page] For a range of problems Frederick Spinal Decompression can be an effective treatment. Chronic back pain is a common problem which need not cause suffering. The treatment can ease the pressure in the spine which causes the problems. Surgery and the associated complications are not always necessary with this specialized treatment.
The theory behind the method is that pain is caused by constrained nerves in the spinal column. The freeing of those nerves allows the body to heal itself. Also blockages cause increasing pressure which is released during the therapy.
This means the treatment can relieve symptoms associated with Sciatica, herniation, Posterior Facet Syndrome, bulging discs, Stenosis and Isthymic and Degenerative Spondylolisthesis. For people who have problems in their legs such as, frailty, pins and needles or tingling sensations, or lack of sensation the treatment can bring relief.
There are some situations where it is not advisable to try this treatment. These are if post surgical complications are being experienced, Osteoporosis has been diagnosed, screws or metal plates are present in the back or there is infection.
The specialized therapy involves a mechanism which detects how and at what angle to apply pressure to the back. The effect is the same as the older traction methods but more precise. The precision is important in allowing the body to accept the movements. Blood flow and nerve impulses are restored by creating a vacuum in the disc which pulls the herniation. The moving fluids then allow the body to begin its natural healing.
Research has shown benefit in a high number of patients with a range of problems. Comparative research with older traction methods has indicated that those were often unsuccessful due to insufficient pressure. Currently there are no documented risks from Spinal Decompression.
Frederick MD Spinal Decompression has been effective for those who have tried other therapies such as massage or acupuncture. It has no risk and proven outcomes.
