Are you suffering from back pain that isn’t going away? A back pain that turns chronic can disrupt life and turn it upside down. Backache is a common pain that affects almost everyone, whether young or old. If it is very severe, all you can think of is the pain throughout the day. The only thing that can come into your mind is how to get rid of this pain. In this case, you can opt for spinal decompression therapy or chiropractic adjustments. Both treatments help in relieving pain and increase the quality of your life by a significant margin.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is mainly categorized into two types, i.e., nonsurgical and surgical. The nonsurgical spinal decompression can best be defined as motorized traction of the spine that can relieve you from backaches. The spinal decompression procedure gently stretches the spine, which changes the spinal cord’s position within the body space. It takes off the pressure from the disks within the vertebrae of the spine. The spinal disks have smooth, gel-like cushiony elements between them to help the spine in stretching and moving. Applying spinal decompression therapy can help the inflow of oxygen and other nutrients reach the gel-like fluid within the spinal disk space so that they can heal and retract.
However, not all people are suitable for nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy. If you are a patient with osteoporosis, have ever fractured your spine, or if you are pregnant, spinal decompression therapy is not suitable for your health condition.
Chiropractic Adjustments
In this treatment, an experienced chiropractor would use his experience and expertise in realigning and repositioning the joints in the body. It can be done with the application of targeted pressure. Any kind of muscle tension, stress, or back pain can be caused by the misalignment of the joints. The chiropractors use a hands-on technique to realign the joints in the cervical spine. It is mainly a painless procedure, but some people do experience mild discomfort.
Choose the One That Is Suitable for You
There are varieties of chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression techniques treatments available. Depending on various factors like age, health condition, and the source of the pain, chiropractors can decide on the therapy that can be of help to you.
