What is spinal decompression?
The office uses a traction table to gently stretch the spine, changing the position of the spine and where the force is placed. It is meant to take pressure off the spinal disks, the gel-like cushions that separate your vertebrae. The office also offers mechanical traction.
What conditions is it used for?
Back pain, sciatica and herniated discs are all on the office’s list of conditions, and your exam decides whether decompression fits yours. If a disk is why you are here, read herniated disk after an accident, which covers what MedlinePlus says about treatment.
What happens before decompression?
- Your history. The office documents your medical history as it relates to your condition.
- A full exam. Dr. Anderson looks for the source of the pain, and may run neurological and physical tests.
- Imaging if it is needed. He may order X-rays, MRIs or CAT scans.
- Your general practitioner. The office consults with your general practitioner before performing any adjustments.
- A plan for you. Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan. Decompression may be part of it, or may not.
What else can be part of your plan?
