If back or neck pain keeps returning no matter what you try, it can feel discouraging. You stretch, rest, change chair and more but the pain still comes back to haunt you. This is often the point where people start looking into spinal decompression therapy in Kingston Upon Thames and whether it can help.
Pain that lingers on is because the spine has been under constant pressure for too long. Discs, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves are being compressed by a malalignment or a pinched nerve. Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle and safe technique used to open up the spinal joints and get the pressure off the nerve, disc, joints and tendons.
What spinal decompression therapy really does
Spinal decompression therapy is designed to reduce pressure off the spinal nerves, discs and tendons. It is a precise traction to create space between the vertebrae.
This therapy aims to:
- Reduce pressure on spinal discs
- Ease nerve irritation
- Improve circulation around injured areas around the joint
- Support natural healing over time
Why does spinal pressure affect daily life?
Normally due to repetitive stress to our bodies daily. We must remove the repetitive stress from our daily life and seek professional treatment in order to alleviate the symptoms and promote healing.
We see people with some of these symptoms:
- Pain with numbness and or tingling that radiates into the arms or legs
- Disc bulge or disc herniation pain
- Scoliosis
- Chronic pain in back and neck
- Sciatica
This is why spinal decompression therapy in Kingston Upon Thames, helps people to feel better and promote healing.
