East Grand Rapids MI Spinal Decompression Chiropractor

You don't have to live your life in constant pain. Treatment from one of our skilled and experienced chiropractors can help improve your quality of life, range of motion, and more.

Spinal decompression is a chiropractic treatment that’s used for chronic and acute spinal pain. This treatment involves special tables that digitally control the force and the angle of the force, to carefully apply precise and calibrated adjustments to the spine.

How This Chiropractic Treatment Works

The force of the adjustment will lengthen and decompress the spine, gradually. This decompression and lengthening will create a vacuum that will relieve the pressure on the intervertebral discs, while also reducing muscle spasms.

An osmatic gradient is then created. This will occur when the fluid in the discs moves to fill an area. This will restore equilibrium and the balance of fluids in the discs. Treatment can also promote healing by bringing nutrients into the disc. The effect of treatment will restore normal spinal function and movement.

How Spinal Decompression Can Help

Before beginning spinal decompression therapy, it’s essential to first obtain an accurate diagnosis. There are many structures of the spine that can be responsible for causing severe pain and several conditions that have similar symptoms.

Spinal decompression therapy can help people who are suffering from chronic pain due to:

• Failed back surgery
• Facet syndrome
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Herniated or bulging discs

After the spinal decompression therapy machine has been set up to focus on the tension in the cervical region or lumbar region, a chiropractor will determine the cycle of treatment and carefully position you on the table.

This technique will start with a gradual increase in tension to create negative pressure within the disc. Next, after a holding period, the machine slowly releases the tension. During treatment, you must focus on not tensing your muscles. Treatment can alternate between periods of relaxation and decompression to achieve a therapeutic effect.

Are There Any Risks to this Type of Chiropractic Care?

Spinal decompression can help stretch tight muscles and ligaments and reduce pressure on the discs of the lumbar spine. However, there are some challenges with this type of treatment - and this is where The Chiropractic Doctors are good at.

Many conditions treated with spinal decompression occur due to injury or time. As we get older, we lose muscular strength in the abdomen and back. These muscles support the spine, helping it to stay strong and long. Chiropractic care can temporarily lengthen the spine, however, a client must also complete strengthening treatments, such as physical therapy, to prevent future injuries and to maintain the length of the spine.

If treatment is needed due to a sports injury or auto accident injury, this approach can provide pain relief after just two or three treatments, but the reduction of pain doesn’t indicate a full recovery. Treatment duration and frequency can depend on the patient’s condition and can consist of twenty to twenty-five sessions over a period of four to six weeks.

For conditions due to age, a patient must participate in an entire treatment plan which should include dietary changes and exercises prescribed by their physician.

Fortunately, after treatment, no recovery time is needed. Some patients have reported feeling more relaxed, with a reduction in pain immediately following treatment. If you feel increased soreness or pain during or after a session, speak with your chiropractor.
