Spinal decompression therapy helps relieve lower back and neck pain and treat a variety of conditions related to the spine. At Spine and Joint Institute of Milwaukee, we use specialized tables that gently stretch the spine and provide relief to our work injury patients. This stretching action creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, which may help alleviate pressure on the nerves, reduce pain, and promote healing. The treatment is usually administered over a series of sessions, with each session lasting about 30 to 45 minutes.
Typically, an initial course of spinal decompression therapy involves multiple sessions per week for several weeks, followed by a gradual reduction in frequency. Maintenance sessions may be recommended afterward to manage symptoms and prevent recurrence. However, it's essential to undergo a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional at Spine and Joint Institute of Milwaukee to determine if spinal decompression therapy is right for you.
During a spinal decompression therapy session, you can expect the following:
Communicating discomfort or concerns with your healthcare provider during the session is essential. They can adjust the treatment as needed to ensure your comfort and safety. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding the frequency and duration of spinal decompression therapy treatments. They will tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs and monitor your progress throughout the course of therapy. Additionally, be sure to communicate any changes in your symptoms or concerns with your healthcare provider so that adjustments can be made to your treatment plan accordingly.
