Spinal Decompression Therapy in Springfield

Many causes of pain in the back or neck and extremities such as arms and legs are sometimes caused by problems in the spine. Often, these problems are caused by compressed joints or a lack of space between them. For example, joints in the spine could be closer together due to disc herniations or degeneration. One way of helping these effects is use of spinal decompression therapy in Springfield practice where a special machine helps to gently expand the space between the joints.

These machines are specifically designed to help decompression and to lengthen the spine. Depending on each patient’s case the machine is programmed to deliver the appropriate force to decompress the spine.

This action will then relieve the pressure on the joints and allow for a gentle treatment that helps relieve pain and attack the cause of the problem in the first place. It also has a secondary effect in that it also helps nutrients to circulate and improve blood flow around the disc areas which helps in decreasing healing time and help the patient quicker. While several treatments may be needed to effect a proper recovery, this method of pain relief and control has very high positive patient outcomes.

Spinal decompression therapy in Springfield is actually quite relaxing. We often see patients nodding off to sleep during the process. It is not painful and again while several treatments may be required for longer lasting relief, most patients do experience a difference after one or two visits.
