Can Spinal Decompression Improve Your Sciatica Symptoms?
Sciatica is a collection of painful symptoms caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Patients are likely to experience pain, numbness, and tingling that may begin in the lower back or hip, extend down the buttock and the leg. Sciatica often only affects one leg, and the pain may be mild to severe.
If you suspect you’re experiencing sciatica symptoms, care is just a phone call or click away. Dr. Volstad of Volstad Integrated Wellness can do a full evaluation and recommend treatment options that are appropriate for you, which may include spinal decompression in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy can address various spinal conditions that can lead to sciatica, such as disc herniation and disc degeneration. This nonsurgical treatment uses FDA-cleared equipment to gently stretch the spine. With controlled traction, this treatment creates negative pressure inside the spine’s discs.
Negative pressure in the discs enables any bulging discs to retract, which then takes pressure off the sciatic nerve. Nonsurgical spinal decompression also promotes the healthy flow of nutrient-rich fluids and oxygen into the discs, supporting their ability to heal.
What Are the Benefits of Spinal Decompression for Sciatica?
One of the things Dr. Volstad’s patients enjoy most about spinal decompression is that it’s nonsurgical. Often problems that originate in the back can be treated without invasive surgeries or potentially risky drugs. In addition, spinal decompression doesn’t take long. All you’ll need to do is relax on the treatment table and enjoy the gentle stretch.
Is Spinal Decompression Right for Me?
If you’ve been experiencing sciatica, there is a good chance that spinal decompression could help you. However, it’s important to fully disclose your medical history when consulting Dr. Volstad. Certain patients may not be good candidates for this treatment, such as those with spinal tumors, spinal fractures, advanced osteoporosis, an abdominal aortic aneurysm, or metal implants in the spine.
