This is a great question, and the answer is simple, the lasting effect of spinal decompression therapy depends on your particular condition. For example, if you have severe degenerative disc disease with severe spinal stenosis, your results, if you respond positively, would likely be temporary and you would require periodic treatment to help maintain decreased pain levels and increased function. This is the reality of the situation, you may benefit, but you may not. Everyone who is determined to be a candidate should be placed on a trial of two weeks of treatment daily, to see if you are going to improve. The trial allows a slow progression of increasing weight, and allows the doctor to see how your body is going to respond to spinal decompression. If you do well with your trial, then you should continue until you hit a plateau, where you stop improving in pain and function after two reevaluations.

What are the risks of Spinal decompression therapy?

All treatments have associated risks, at includes spinal decompression therapy. Increased pain, exacerbation or worsening of your condition is possible, but very small if you are screened well before receiving the treatment. Spinal fusion surgeries are an absolute contraindication as well as severe osteoperosis. Obviously if you have a spinal fracture, this is not appropriate. We routinely treat severely painful spinal conditions with spinal decompression therapy.

What is Decompression therapy?

Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical and drug free treatment for chronic back pain. Patients are placed on a machine which applies a pulling pressure focused on herniated or bulgind disc. This pulling pressure reduces stress on the disc, enabling disc fluid to flow back into the disc, healing the disc and releiving pain associated with the pressure on the spinal cord. Refernces YouTube has a number of videos on spinal decompression. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=spinal+decompression&search_type=&aq=0&oq=spinal+dec Dr. Diego Ruiz of SpinalAid write a Spinal Decompression Blog. http://blog.spinalaidrehab.com
