Chiropractic Care Using Spinal Decompression Therapy
If you have tried home remedies to alleviate back or neck pain and haven’t found any relief, you should consider visiting a chiropractor. At Caputo Chiropractic Center, our chiropractor Dr. Thomas Caputo has 30 years of experience helping patients uncover the root cause of their chronic pain and finding drug-free pain relief. We may recommend spinal decompression therapy in Suwanee, GA, if you have back or neck pain associated with sciatica, a slipped or herniated disc, arthritis, or disc degeneration.
Understanding Spinal Decompression Therapy
Nonsurgical spinal decompression uses motorized traction to address spinal misalignment, relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, and encourage slipped or herniated discs to shift back into place. Spinal decompression is a safe, effective alternative to surgery and can offer drug-free pain relief. During spinal decompression, we will have you lie on a comfortable table. Dr. Caputo will use a computer to control the table’s movements. As the table moves, it slowly and gently stretches your spine, limbs, joints, and muscles, creating negative pressure that reduces bulging discs and inflammation and improves range of motion and mobility.
Signs You Need Spinal Decompression Therapy
If you have chronic back pain or neck pain and you have tried rest, over the counter medication, stretching, and ice and nothing has helped, you may have an underlying issue that is causing your back pain. Some of the signs or symptoms that indicate you may need spinal decompression are:
