If you are someone who suffers from
severe back pain, you’d know how worse the pain can get at times.
When talking about the methods or treatment options for managing this
pain, people do not prefer opting for surgical methods.
Spinal decompression therapy is a
treatment option that utilizes spinal decompression tables to relieve
pain by making the painful disc tissue move back into place and heal.
This is what helps in alleviating the back pain.
A spinal decompression table is the main
tool used in non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. It consists
of an upper and lower body portion that can move independently from
one another. Fully clothed patients with back pain are strapped to
this table using a harness. Once the patient is comfortably placed
and the spine is in the correct position for decompression, the two
parts of the table begin to pull apart from one another and this is
how the therapy starts.
The poundage of this pull depends on the
type of decompression as well as the physical appearance of the
patient’s body that can range anywhere from 5 pounds to 100 pounds
or more. Usually, the poundage of pull is more for larger patients
and vice-versa.
These tables also include sensors that
help indicate whether the patient’s muscles are resisting the
stretch being applied by the table or not. When the muscle resists
stretch, the sensor detects it and the table reduces the poundage of
the pull until the muscles relax and then, begins to pull again once
the muscles have relaxed. After getting much benefits from this
therapy, a lot of patients have given positive reviews of spinal decompression tables.
