-- Surgery was often the main treatment for long-term relief of chronic back pain in years past. Now relieving pain without surgery is possible with computer technology and a decompression machine.
Eighty percent of adults experience low back pain at least once in their lifetime, and it is often related to intervertebral discs. Because of advanced technology, pain from bulging and herniated discs can now be relieved with spinal decompression treatment. Charleston Pain Relief Center offers this minimally invasive treatment to patients in Charleston, South Carolina who are suffering from back pain.
Sudden strain or an injury can sometimes cause disc herniation, but often it is caused by gradual, age-related wear and tear known as disc degeneration. With age, discs become less flexible and more prone to tearing or rupturing. In addition to experiencing low back pain, those with a herniating or bulging disc may have muscle weakness, radiating nerve pain or tingling or numbness in extremities.
Spinal decompression therapy can provide relief without invasive surgery or long-term use of painkillers. Surgeries often come with weeks of recovery time and other risks, and the use of painkillers can potentially cause addiction issues. With spinal decompression, there is little to no recovery time and treatments often take around 20 minutes. This allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately.
Using advanced technology, providers are able to create a custom plan for each patient to decompress the spine, helping pull disc tissue back in-between the spinal bones/vertebra. A healthcare professional will use a traction device controlled through a computer to create a vacuum-like effect, helping leaking tissue return between the patient’s discs. Blood circulation in the spinal area also increases bringing nutrients and oxygen to help with continued healing.
Patients who suffer from chronic low back pain can contact the Charleston Pain Relief Center to learn more about spinal decompression. As holistic practitioners, the doctors at Charleston Pain Relief Center tailor specific plans to improve each patient’s quality of life and focus on helping patients take an active role in their health decisions.
