What to Expect During Spinal Decompression Therapy at Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC
At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, Dr. Abbie Swank and Dr. Parker Neill are dedicated to providing safe, effective, and non-surgical solutions for individuals suffering from back and neck pain. One such treatment is spinal decompression therapy, a non-invasive procedure designed to alleviate discomfort associated with conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.
Understanding Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy involves the gentle stretching of the spine using a motorized traction table. This process aims to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves, promoting the retraction of bulging or herniated discs and enhancing the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs to facilitate natural healing.
What to Expect During Your Therapy Sessions
Duration and Frequency: Each spinal decompression session typically lasts about 30 minutes. The number of sessions required varies based on individual conditions, but a common treatment plan may involve multiple sessions over several weeks.
Procedure: During the therapy, you will remain fully clothed and be fitted with harnesses around your pelvis and trunk. Depending on your specific needs, you will lie either face up or face down on a computer-controlled table. The doctor will operate the computer to customize the treatment to your specific needs.
Sensation During Treatment: The therapy involves cycles of stretch and relaxation, gradually increasing to a peak over several minutes. Most patients find the procedure painless and may even find it relaxing.
Post-Treatment Care and Results
Many patients report experiencing relief after a few sessions, although individual results may vary. To support the healing process and maintain the benefits of spinal decompression therapy, Dr. Swank and Dr. Neill may recommend additional treatments such as:
Chiropractic Care: Adjustments to improve spinal alignment and function.
Physiotherapy: Exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and enhance flexibility.
Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on posture, ergonomics, and activities to prevent future discomfort.
