Did you know spinal decompression therapy can produce long-lasting results? Unlike pain pills and spinal injections, which tend to produce short-term results, studies show spinal decompression therapy can produce long-lasting results for neck and back pain.
There have been two studies that show real hope to not only feel better in the short term, but to also get the long-term relief all patients want. The first study followed patients for up to 6 months after a successful decompression program. The second study followed patients for up to 4 years after completing treatment.
What both found is the majority of patients were able to maintain pain relief, and some even continued to improve after the treatment period had ended. Why do patients see these kind of results? Unlike pills and shots which do nothing but mask pain, decompression improves function in the spine. Patients improve their range of motion, back muscle endurance, and disc height, and decrease the size of a bulge or herniation.
In other words, decompression does more than just relieve pain. It actually improves the spine and therefore is able to produce long-term improvement in most cases. This is an investment that makes a lot of sense. Why not seek treatment that does more than just provide temporary relief? Seek to treat the cause of your pain. This is a much better long-term approach.
