Suppose you are in a situation debating whether a series of in-office spinal decompression treatments or spinal decompression surgery is the right choice for you. In that case, this article will help give you some key information on both procedures. We reference spinal decompression in two ways, we refer to it as either non-surgical spinal decompression therapy (this is performed in a physical therapy office) or spinal decompression surgery (this is performed in a hospital with the patient under anesthetic).

Persistent back pain is one of the most common health complaints. Compounded with other related symptoms like neck pain or radiating pain along legs or arms, it can be disruptive to your daily routine. It not only affects your quality of life but can also cause huge financial and mental stress! Spinal disc degeneration, bulges, and herniations are some of the reasons for neck or lower back pain.  A surgical procedure such as laminectomy and microdiscectomy to decompress the spine is often chosen by those who wish to relieve their back pain and get back to a normal routine. However, spinal surgeries sometimes fail, and the back pain returns either immediately after the surgery or several months down the line.  The overall failure rate of lumbar spine surgery was estimated to be 10%–46%. In an April 2020 study in the Journal of Orthopedic Surgery and Research, it was found that there is a substantial risk of ongoing pain following spine surgery with 20% of patients experiencing persistent pain within a couple of years post-surgery.  Why did the back surgery fail? p# #backsurgery

The modern concept of physical therapy actually got its start in the 1800s in conjunction with a Swedish-based gymnastics facility. At that time, as a component of training, gymnasts were provided with additional treatments in massage, manipulation, and strength exercises. From there, the notion of physical therapy began to grow amongst competitive sports, and ultimately expanded during the polio epidemic of the early 1900s.

Seven Herniated Disc At-Home Treatments When You’re In-between Spinal Decompression Therapy Sessions Your spinal disc consists of a soft inner core and a thick outer layer. It is sandwiched between two spinal vertebrae and joins the two vertebrae while allowing movement of the vertebrae. It also acts as a shock absorber for the spine, absorbing the impact due to various movements like walking, twisting, bending, or lifting. When a part or all the soft inner core leaks, bulges, or slips out from the thick outer layer, it causes spinal disc herniation, also referred to as slipped disc, bulging disc, or ruptured disc. A herniated disc is one of the leading causes of low back pain. The symptoms of a herniated disc may also include burning, tingling, numbing or shock-like sensations, and muscle weakness. Depending on the location of the herniated disc, it may cause pain in the neck, shoulders, upper back, pain in the lower back, or radiating pain in the arms and legs. Here are some things you can do to help relieve pain and heal a herniated disc at home. As always, consult with your medical professional to be sure your at-home self-care is appropriate for your situation. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3C4A4cy
