In the serene coastal town of Little River, SC, amidst the soothing ocean breeze and picturesque landscapes, lies a beacon of hope for those grappling with spinal discomfort and pain. Carolina Rehab and Physical Medicine Center is a sanctuary for individuals seeking relief from the burdensome weight of spinal issues. At the heart of their innovative treatments is spinal decompression therapy, a non-invasive approach that has garnered attention for its effectiveness in alleviating spinal discomfort.
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine. It particularly targets conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. Unlike traditional surgical methods, spinal decompression offers a holistic approach that aims to address the root cause of pain without invasive procedures or prolonged recovery times.
So, how does spinal decompression therapy work?
According to the National Institute of Health, Spinal decompression therapy resolves problems with the disc. It removes the pressure applied to the disc by supplying nutrients and oxygen. This decompression creates non-gravitation or negative pressure within the spinal canal. It reduces pressure inside the intervertebral disc by softly increasing a specific part of the disc through the decompression.
At Carolina Rehab and Physical Medicine Center, skilled professionals utilize state-of-the-art equipment, such as Acu-Spina therapy, to administer spinal decompression with precision and care. The Spinal Decompression Machine focuses on specific parts of the spine affected by the individual’s spinal problem. When we use this machine, we have the patient lie down in a comfortable position. The Accu Spina system applies targeted decompressive forces at a precise, mathematically calibrated angle based on your body type and diagnosis. It gently moves your spine in a controlled way. These movements make the spine healthier, improve disc blood flow, and remove stress from nearby structures. This treatment has been proven to work and is used to ease pain in the lower back and neck that’s caused by:
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Posterior facet syndrome
- Sciatica
- Acute or chronic neck and back pain
- Spinal Stenosis
What to Expect During the Treatment?
During a spinal decompression session, you’ll lie on a motorized table, either face up or face down, depending on your condition and the therapist’s recommendation. The therapist places a harness around your pelvis and another around your trunk. The motorized table will then gently stretch your spine, ensuring that the procedure is both controlled and efficient. Each session typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. For more information about how the Acu-Spina therapy works, please read our blog Spinal Decompression with State-of-the-Art Accu-Spina Therapy.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is Non-Invasive
One of the primary advantages of spinal decompression therapy is its non-invasive nature. Unlike surgical interventions, which carry inherent risks and require extensive recovery periods, spinal decompression offers a safer, more conservative approach to treating spinal conditions. Patients can undergo treatment without anesthesia or post-operative care, allowing them to resume their daily activities with minimal disruption.
