Foraminal stenosis occurs when the nerve openings (foramina) in the spine become narrowed. This narrowing can compress the nerve roots; leading to pain, numbness, tingling, & weakness in the affected areas of the body. It commonly occurs due to age-related degenerative changes in the spine, such as herniated discs, bone spurs, or thickened ligaments.
Non-surgical spinal decompression has emerged as a highly effective treatment for foraminal stenosis, offering several advantages over surgical options. This therapy involves using a traction table or similar device to gently stretch the spine. By creating negative pressure within the spinal discs, spinal decompression promotes the retraction of herniated or bulging discs, relieving pressure on the nerve roots & reducing inflammation.
One of the primary benefits of non-surgical spinal decompression is its non-invasive nature. Unlike surgery, which carries inherent risks & requires extensive recovery time, spinal decompression is typically performed on an outpatient basis without the need for anesthesia. This makes it a safer & more accessible option for patients, particularly those who may not be suitable candidates for surgery due to health reasons.
Furthermore, spinal decompression is targeted & precise, focusing specifically on alleviating the compression of nerve roots at the affected spinal level. This targeted approach helps to not only alleviate symptoms such as pain & numbness but also to address the underlying cause of foraminal stenosis by promoting healing & reducing the likelihood of recurrence.
