Spinal Decompression

Back pain can take a toll on you by limiting your activities and lowering your overall quality of life. If you have been suffering from persistent or long-term back pain, spinal decompression can provide you with effective pain relief. Although there are nonsurgical and surgical forms of decompression available, surgical methods are typically only used when all other forms of treatment have not worked due to the risks involved.

Relieving Back Pain with Our Solon and Aurora Chiropractor

Nonsurgical spinal decompression provides a safer way to relieve back pain without the risk of bleeding, infection or nerve damage. This form of treatment involves having you undergo traction to relieve pressure on your spinal discs. As your spine stretches out, it results in negative pressure that can help ease discomfort and other symptoms associated with back pain, such as herniated discs or bulging discs. When the pressure on these discs is reduced, nutrients and oxygen are able to reach them better and promote the healing process. 

This type of decompression can be used to relieve back pain, neck pain, deteriorated spinal joints and damaged nerve roots in the spine. When you come in for treatment, you will typically stay for less than one hour each session. Depending on how severe your back pain is, you might need to undergo decompression several times for effective pain relief. Your chiropractor might also use other forms of treatment with decompression, such as cold therapy, heat therapy or electrical stimulation. 

Most people can have nonsurgical decompression done, but there are a few exceptions. You might not be able to have it done if you are pregnant or if you have spinal problems such as tumors or fractures. Discuss your condition with our Solon chiropractor to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for this type of treatment.
