Chiropractic professionals often recommend spinal decompression, in coordination with a more extensive treatment plan overall, to help alleviate leg pain. Many patients have reported notable benefits from non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, which are discussed in this review.
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical technique that chiropractors use to treat a range of pain-causing conditions (e.g., sciatica). Treatment is safe and effective for most patients, and every treatment plan can be personalized to best meet the treatment goals and needs of the patient.
Spinal decompression therapy, also called non-surgical spinal decompression, involves the manual stretching of the spinal cord to alleviate pressure on nerve roots that cause pain. This is a popular chiropractic technique that should only be performed by licensed chiropractors. Spinal decompression is successful among many in relieving leg pain. In fact, one study found that spinal decompression has a success rate between 71 and 90 percent.
Spinal decompression therapy can help alleviate leg pain associated with various conditions such as sciatica, fibromyalgia, bulging and herniated discs, and arthritis. Chiropractors have used spinal decompression therapy to treat symptoms such as:
Of course, the symptoms are based on the condition, and spinal decompression therapy can relieve a range of conditions that can cause leg and lower back pain.
Spinal decompression therapy takes place on a comfortable chiropractic table. The chiropractor places sudden and quick bursts of pressure on the affected areas to relieve pressure, stiffness, and discomfort. This does not cause much, if any, discomfort. In fact, many report the spinal decompression therapy process as being relaxing.
Most chiropractors recommend multiple sessions of spinal decompression therapy as part of a treatment and recovery plan. Some patients report significant improvements in the way they feel after the first session, whereas it may take other patients more time to see the desired results.
The chiropractor can work with the patient on additional ways to prevent and manage leg pain. It can help to continue visiting the chiropractor for spinal decompression therapy (and other chiropractic services) for preventive reasons after treatment. It can also help to maintain an active (but not overactive) lifestyle that consists of regular exercise. Other general health tips such as maintaining an optimal weight can help as well.
