Injuries may cause misalignment of the disc along our spine. It, therefore, results in intense pain on our lower back and neck region. These patients should seek medical assistance from a chiropractor. Undergoing Spinal Decompression Santa Monica will help relieve such injuries. An individual has a choice of using a surgical or non-surgical method of treatment.

This method reduces a backache by care and treatment of various complications. They include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. In some cases, disc degeneration is also treated. The non-surgical therapy can help in solving post-operation problems which result from failure of the previous operations.

A doctor can apply an open surgery anywhere between the neck and the lower back region. The process encompasses removal of soft tissues, lamina included, to give room for the nerves and the extraction of the spur bone. The processes include Foraminotomy and many others. Also, the surgeon can decide to create incisions through which an endoscope can be inserted. This allows for an operation which is less invasive and also relatively less risky.

Technological advancement in the health sector has allowed for a non-surgical therapy which has low risk and reduced pain intensity. With the use of a computer-controlled Decompression Traction System, a patient can treat and take care of many back injuries. The patient usually lies on motorized table fitted with a support system. The system automatically assumes an optimum angle where the spinal disc in question is targeted. Also, herniated disc can be realigned by application of an anti-gravity effect on our spinal cord.

It only takes a few months for one to experience the effect of this traction method. The therapy period can run to a maximum of three months depending on the complexity of the condition. There are usually 15 to 20 decompressions with each taking approximately one hour. These together with therapeutic exercises, has proved useful. Many kinds of research back it. On the other hand, persons doing surgery can go through one or more. Additional checkups are advisable to avoid post-op complications. Severe injuries call for a series of continued operations.

Since no cutting or incision is done during the non-surgical procedure, there is a reduction in any chances of complication. Unlike operation which may cause some post-op problems, the computerized decompression traction system is safe. The risk that is likely to be faced with the therapy is negligible. Better still, the process is painless and comfortable. An individual enjoys himself throughout the session. Recovery time is slow for patients going through surgery.

Pregnancy, tumor, and a fracture put a person at a risk when doing a decompression therapy. Also, individuals with conditions such as abdominal aortic aneurysm and advanced osteoporosis can should not try this procedure. Such person should seek for an alternative method.

Technology gives us the ability to solve spinal complications which did not have answers previously. There is a possibility of addressing these conditions without any operation. The computerized traction system has revolutionized the health system. Contrary to the past, when injuries to the spine meant a life of pain, accident victims have hope.
