What are the Benefits of Spinal Decompression in El Cajon, CA?

  • Relieves any nerve pressure. If there’s compression in the nerves, it can cause shooting pain, numbness, and tingling.
  • Improves your spinal alignment. This may help in correcting your posture and reduce any wear on your spinal joints.
  • Helps you avoid spinal surgery. It’s a non-invasive treatment that can alleviate any pressure on your discs and nerves to relieve significant pain without the risks of surgery or painkillers.
  • Improves fluid circulation around the spinal discs. Proper fluid circulation is important to maintain the health of your spine.

What is Spinal Decompression at Caruso Family Chiropractic Clinic?

Spinal decompression is not a surgical intervention. Instead, it decompresses your spine by stretching it to reduce any pressure on your spinal discs and nerves. To decompress your spine, Dr. Robert Caruso, our chiropractor, will use a specialized table that can create negative pressure in your discs. If you have bulging discs, the stretching retracts and relieves nerve compression.

This chiropractic option is effective in conditions that result in persistent back pain causing limited mobility. As it improves blood circulation, it triggers your body’s natural healing ability, especially in the damaged areas of your spine. Decompression also results in inflammation reduction so you get lasting relief.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can a chiropractor do spinal decompression?

Yes, chiropractors can decompress your spine without surgery. This is possible through manual adjustments of your spine to realign it and get rid of your shooting pain, tingling, and numbness.

How long do decompressing effects last?

The positive outcomes of spinal decompression can last from several months to years. However, you need to complete all treatment sessions as advised by your chiropractor. The exact duration also depends on your specific condition and lifestyle changes. If you follow the instructions of Dr. Caruso after completing the therapy, you may be able to maintain your results for a longer period of time.

Is there a downside to spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is generally safe for most patients. Dr. Caruso will review your health history first to confirm you're a good candidate. However, you may experience mild achiness for at least a day after one session. This is your body’s way of adjusting to the spine being adjusted. This soreness will start fading within a day or two.

How many times a week should you do spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is a therapy. Hence, it’s not just a one-time session. How often you need to undergo a session will depend on your situation. But in most cases, two to three times a week will suffice.

What happens if you don’t decompress your spine?

Symptoms of a compressed spine can show up either suddenly or gradually. If nerve compression is left untreated, symptoms can worsen over time and may affect mobility.
