Recent studies have highlighted the effectiveness of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy in alleviating chronic low back pain (LBP) associated with disc issues. A notable retrospective cohort study investigated whether this therapy not only reduces pain but also aids in regenerating spinal discs.
Study Shows Effectiveness of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: Overview
Researchers examined adults experiencing chronic LBP due to disc herniation or discogenic LBP. Participants underwent a 6-week treatment regimen using computerized non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed before and after the treatment to monitor changes, and pain levels were assessed using a 0 to 10 scale.
Key Findings
The study revealed significant improvements among participants with lumbar disc herniation:
Pain Reduction: LBP decreased from an average score of 6.2 to 1.6 on the pain scale.
Disc Height Increase: Disc height increased from an average of 7.5 mm to 8.8 mm.
Notably, there was a positive correlation between the increase in disc height and the reduction in pain, suggesting that disc regeneration may contribute to pain relief.
These findings underscore the potential of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy as an effective treatment for chronic LBP, offering both pain alleviation and structural improvement of spinal discs.
