What Is Spinal Arthritis?
Spinal arthritis is an inflammatory condition that develops in the joints between your vertebrae. As the tissue that cushions your joints and vertebrae degenerates, you can experience pain, stiffness, inflammation, discomfort, and loss of mobility or range of motion. There are a few different types of spinal arthritis: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Dr. Volstad can provide an official diagnosis and determine what type of spinal arthritis you have.
How Can Spinal Decompression Treat Spinal Arthritis?
Spinal decompression is a nonsurgical form of motorized traction. You will lie on a traction table and Dr. Volstad will control the table’s movement with a computer program. As the table moves, it will gently stretch your spine and limbs, creating negative pressure in your spine. This promotes the flow of oxygen, blood, and nutrients throughout the spine and accelerates healing of discs, joints, and soft tissues. After a few sessions, you should notice a significant reduction in pain and improved mobility.
Other Treatment Options for Arthritis of the Spine
Dr. Volstad will create a personalized chiropractic disc therapy program that addresses the underlying cause of your arthritis and relieves your symptoms. His goal is to reduce your pain and inflammation, improve your mobility and range of motion, restore function of your spine, and help you get back on your feet so that you can return to your normal life. In addition to spinal decompression therapy, he may recommend chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to relieve pain and improve mobility.
