Chronic back pain affects millions of Americans each year, causing discomfort and an inability to enjoy daily life to the fullest. In addition to physical pain, many people who experience back pain also notice various emotional side effects, such as anxiety, depression or general low mood. Fortunately, as technology advances, there are many innovative spinal treatments available designed to improve pain and discomfort such as Spinal Decompression Bakersfield CA.
Spinal decompression is a noninvasive, nonsurgical procedure that relieves back and neck pain. Intervertebral discs often don’t heal on their own because they’re under constant pressure. This treatment uses motorized traction therapy to safely and effectively elongate and stretch the spine, this can alleviate tension and pressure from the sensitive spinal discs and nerves, helping to relieve pain and discomfort.

3 Ways Spinal Decompression Bakersfield CA Benefits the Spine:
Pain Reduction: The traction technique stretches the spine, allowing for bulging or herniated discs to retract, which can significantly alleviate back pain. The movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs during spinal decompression therapy promotes healing of discs and helps prevent future injuries, offering long-term relief.
Correcting herniation: Disc issues are hard to treat due to their tendency to move toward the position of least resistance and least pain, which is usually the position of the herniation. With negative pressure through spinal decompression, the discs are given the space for realignment as well as for reduction in inflammation.
Improve circulation: Spinal decompression enhances the body’s ability to heal itself by improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged tissues. Improved circulation supports the repair of bulging or herniated discs and reduces inflammation, enabling the spine to function more effectively.
