Relieving Discomfort From Spinal Stenosis
As people age, there is a possibility that they develop a condition known as spinal stenosis when the discs dry up and shrink. Simultaneously, the ligaments and bones swell up due to arthritis and can cause a ton of pain. This narrowing of the spinal column puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. Some of the symptoms of Spinal Stenosis can include: numbness, cramping, and pain in the buttocks, thighs, or calves.
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a process that can help a Spinal Stenosis patient reduce pain. Stretching out the spine helps relieve some of the pressure on the disks, allowing patients to experience painless mobility. Decompression therapy is can be very helpful as a non-intrusive way to treat back pain. Without surgery, there is little risk involved with cutting, anesthesia, and infection.
