The Benefits of Cervical Decompression
You know how debilitating it can be if you’re suffering from cervical pain. It makes everyday activities difficult and can also cause headaches, neck pain, and arm pain. Yet, traditional treatments often don't provide relief, so more people turn to chiropractors for help. Cervical decompression is a particularly effective pain treatment option.
What Is Cervical Decompression?
Cervical decompression is a treatment that can help relieve pain in the neck and shoulders. Decompression tables are used to stretch the spine to take pressure off your nerves. This treatment can help relieve pain, numbness, and tingling in the arms and hands.
What Are the Benefits of Cervical Decompression?
This therapy aims to take pressure off the spinal cord and nerves by gently stretching the spine. Dr. Christopher Frey at Circle Chiropractic Center, P.C. in Fairfax has two decompression tables for your healing.
Reduced Inflammation
Cervical decompression can reduce inflammation in the neck and spine. When the discs in your spine are healthy, they act as cushions between the vertebrae. They can no longer perform this function if they become damaged or degenerated. In addition, this cervical pain treatment can also help improve the discs' health. When the discs are healthy, they cushion the vertebrae and protect them from damage.
Strength and Mobility
Cervical decompression can help increase your strength and mobility. This treatment can also help improve your posture. As a result, you can move more freely and with less pain.
Nerve Function
This treatment can also help enhance your nerve function. When your nerves function correctly, you will experience less pain and stiffness. You will also move more easily.
Range of Motion
One of the benefits of cervical decompression is an increased range of motion in the neck. For people suffering from chronic neck pain, this can be a game-changer. Restoring some healthy movement to the area can help break up the cycle of stiffness and pain.
Prevention of Future Injuries
When the bones in your spine are out of alignment, it puts unnecessary stress on the muscles and ligaments surrounding those bones. This stress can lead to other problems, including herniated discs and pinched nerves. By aligning the spine, cervical decompression can help prevent these future injuries.
Quality of Life
Cervical decompression can help you live a better life. When your neck hurts, it can be challenging to do what you enjoy. Cervical decompression can relieve the pressure on your spine, allowing you to get back to life.
