Spinal Decompression Burnaby
Some of the common conditions that we treat here at Expert Physio are those that are related to back and neck issues. You may be one of the many people who have suffered a spinal injury or have a disease that is affecting this area of your body.
If you do, you may be experiencing a significant amount of pain and discomfort, as well as limited mobility. We have many different treatments that can help with this, one of these being traction therapy (also called spinal decompression therapy).
Pain Relief
The first thing you are going to want us to address for your back or neck issue is some relief for your pain. As physiotherapists, we rely on many different approaches for this (that do not rely on the use of prescribed pain medications).
Using Traction Therapy
When traction is used, it applies a controlled force to the area being treated. Your pain may be as a result of the bones (vertebrae) in your spine compressing together; potentially irritating nerves.
The force from the traction causes a negative pressure helping to ease this compression bringing you some much needed pain relief. The traction treatment may be applied manually by one of our highly skilled physiotherapists (manual traction), or with the use of a traction machine (spinal decompression table).
Our priorities here at Expert Physio:
1
To reduce or eliminate your pain and discomfort.
2
To speed up the healing process and to ensure proper healing.
3
To educate you as to how you can be proactive in your recovery.
4
To restore your quality of life to the fullest potential.
