Spinal Decompression & Traction Therapy at Dr. Soumya’s Physiotherapy Clinic
Spinal Decompression Therapy, also known as Traction Therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that helps relieve pain and promote healing in the spine by gently stretching the spine to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This therapy is highly effective for treating a range of conditions, including herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. At Dr. Soumya’s Physiotherapy Clinic, we provide advanced Spinal Decompression & Traction Therapy to help you get back to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
What is Spinal Decompression / Traction Therapy?
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a technique used to relieve pressure on the spinal discs, nerves, and surrounding muscles. By applying a gentle, controlled stretch to the spine, this therapy creates space between the vertebrae, allowing nutrients and fluids to flow back into the discs, promoting healing and reducing pain.
In Traction Therapy, the patient’s spine is slowly stretched using a mechanical device or manually by a physiotherapist. This therapy targets the root cause of spinal pain, helping to decompress the discs, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow to the affected areas.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression & Traction Therapy:
Pain Relief
One of the primary benefits of spinal decompression therapy is significant pain relief. By alleviating pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, this therapy helps reduce pain caused by conditions such as sciatica, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease.
Improved Mobility and Flexibility
Spinal decompression helps improve the range of motion in the spine, allowing patients to regain flexibility and movement. This can be especially helpful for individuals suffering from stiffness or limited mobility.
Nerve Decompression
By creating space between the vertebrae, spinal decompression helps relieve pressure on pinched nerves, reducing symptoms like numbness, tingling, and radiating pain.
Promotes Healing
The process of decompressing the spine allows nutrients, oxygen, and fluids to flow more freely into the discs, aiding in the healing process and promoting long-term recovery.
Non-Surgical Treatment Option
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that can provide relief from chronic back and neck pain, offering an alternative to surgery.
Improved Posture
Spinal decompression therapy helps correct misalignments in the spine, improving posture and reducing strain on the muscles and ligaments.
Reduced Inflammation
By reducing the compression on the spinal discs and nerves, spinal decompression therapy can also reduce inflammation, which is a common cause of pain in many spinal conditions.
Effective for Herniated Discs
Spinal decompression is particularly effective for treating herniated or bulging discs. It helps reposition the discs and reduces the pressure that causes pain.
Enhanced Quality of Life
By alleviating pain and improving mobility, spinal decompression therapy allows individuals to return to their daily activities with greater ease, improving their overall quality of life.
