What's all this noise about Decompression therapy? Why does it cost so much? Does it work? What's it for?
I'm Dr. Benson with the Chiropractic Professionals of Columbia. We offer Decompression therapy in my office. Decompression is for people who have Cervical or Lumbar disk pain. It doesn't have to radiate in your arms or legs, It can also be localized. What is disk pain? Do I have it? It's different in everyone. Disk pain is deep intense pain, the kind of pain that keeps you from walking, sleeping, eating. It affects everything you do or don't do. It can come on suddenly or gradually. It can be from an old car accident or a recent fall off the ladder.
Chiropractors adjust bones to remove pressure from nerves to relieve pain and discomfort. Decompression therapy Works on the Disk pain. The Decompression table is used to pull on the disk which creates a negative pressure that causes fluids and nutrients to enter into the disk which helps it to heal. It's the only therapy that does this.
Disk pain is always caused by some kind of injury or overuse. Disk injuries not get better by themselves. It can lay dormant and pain free for years but it will always be there. It always reappears at the worst possible time.
An MRI is the gold standard in seeing your disk injury. At the Chiropractic Professionals of Columbia we send patients out for imagining. We don't guess with disk pain, we find and fix it. Chiropractic Professionals of Columbia offers Full Spine adjusting and Chiropractic correction therapy. If Your spine isn't straight your disk will always be a issue. We also offer the greatest and latest in Decompression therapy. Treatment times are 20 minutes and very affordable. If interested in Decompression therapy please give my office a call. We would love to hear from you.
