What you need to know about Decompression Therapy in Cape Town

Spinal decompression therapy, or nonsurgical decompression, is a procedure used to relieve back pain by gently stretching the spine. It uses a traction table or similar motorized device that is controlled by a computer, known as Spinal Decompression Table, which makes repetitive movements to gently lengthen and releases the spine. 

While spinal decompression therapy is mainly used to relieve back pain, it has also been used in an attempt to treat:

  • Neck pain
  • Sciatica, which is pain weakness extending down the leg
  • Diseased or injured spinal nerve roots
  • Posterior facet syndrome
  • Herniated or bulging discs or degenerative disc disease.

What's the Recovery Time for Decompression Therapy Procedures in Cape Town?

The time required to bounce back after the Decompression Therapy varies on a person-to-person basis, hinging on the seriousness of their conditions. Quite a few beneficiaries of the treatment start noticing a discernible relief in pain after just a few encounters. But for some, complete recuperation could stretch out over several weeks or even months.

For the therapy itself, little to no downtime is required. You should take it easy for the remainder of the day, but you may be able to resume your normal activity the next day. You should also make sure to avoid any strenuous activity for several days. It's key to remember, however, that even with the reduction in discomfort, patients should see through the entire recommended therapy plan to reap the optimum benefit. This is due to the fact that the process of decompression allows for the best conditions for the repair of affected discs.

What's the Success Rate of Decompression Therapy Procedures in Cape Town?

More research is required to establish the effectiveness and safety of spinal decompression therapy. Research into the therapy is ongoing, with a number of studies showing that the results are favorable. In Cape Town, the effectiveness of Decompression Therapy can tremendously fluctuate relying on multiple factors such as the patient's general health, the seriousness of the spinal disorder, and the distinct kind of treatment employed. Yet, many clinical researches remark significant enhancement in a majority of the patients.

Even though Decompression Therapy has proven efficient for a multitude of patients, it's significant to remember that every patient's situation and reaction to treatment may vary. Thus, it's always crucial to engage in a consultation with a healthcare expert for an appropriate diagnosis and a custom-made treatment scheme. In some circumstances, patients may need supplementary treatments or therapies in combination with Decompression Therapy to achieve optimum results.
