Spinal decompression therapy can be defined as a treatment modality that stretches out your spine and reverses the process of spinal compression.
There are two main categories of treatment: surgical spinal decompression and nonsurgical spinal decompression.
The latter can be performed from the comfort of your own home by using a special orthopaedic device called the Spinal Backrack.
In order to better understand the benefits offered by spinal decompression therapy, it is important to become familiar first and foremost with the effects of spinal compression.
Spinal compression is a process where the vertebrae that make up your spinal column become squashed, and the spine shortens as a result.
Compression of the spine is mostly caused by degenerative changes in the spine that occur with age, such as the wearing down of the bone tissue, spinal disc problems (degenerative disc disease, herniated discs or bulging discs, where the inner jelly-like disc material is affected), and other factors such as injuries, infections and bone diseases.
When it occurs, it creates a negative pressure effect on your back, as other structures such as spinal discs, spinal cord or nerve roots may not have sufficient space to sit in their respective places unobstructed. As such, it may be responsible for issues such as narrowing of the spinal canal, sciatica, back pain, neck pain, or even hip, leg, or arm pain.
Spinal decompression surgery should only be reserved for the most extreme of cases of spinal compression. For less severe cases, you can get the benefits of this treatment from the comfort of your own home by using an orthopaedic spinal decompression device called the Spinal Backrack.
The Spinal Backrack is a wooden device with several wooden rows and spindles. In order to use it, it has to be placed on a sturdy surface, where you can comfortably lay on the rack afterwards.
While laying down, you will perform a series of exercises dedicated to the region of the spine where your problem occurs. During these exercises, as your weight shifts onto the Backrack, the wooden nodules press into your back, pushing your vertebrae back into their place, lengthening and stretching your spine.
With repetitive use, the compression disappears and your vertebrae naturally sit in their original places.
