Disc Ease Therapy is a non-invasive procedure that stretches the spine in order to relieve pain. Disc decompression from stretching creates space between the discs in the spinal cord, relieving pressure, and encouraging the repair of damaged cartilage. The procedure is performed by chiropractors in NYC such as the staff at Esprit Wellness and at chiropractic clinics throughout the United States. Decompression methods have been used for thousands of years and recent knowledge has improved them to provide relief and eventual healing of chronic back conditions.
Conditions and Symptoms
Many chronic pain conditions can be healed or at least relieved through Disc Ease Therapy. Conditions such as sciatica, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis can cause pain in the upper and lower back. Pain can radiate to other areas such as the neck, shoulders, and legs since the muscles and nerves connected to the spine interact with other areas of the body. Painful sensations such as tingling, numbness, burning, and deep pain can be associated with spinal disorders, injuries to the spine, and poor posture; according to the American Chiropractor's Association (ACA), half of all adults in America's workforce suffer from back pain every year and that pain is the leading cause for missing work.
The Procedure
The process of performing disc ease therapy entails disc decompression. The decompression is done by stretching the spinal cord to allow for space so the individual discs can slip back into their proper place within the spine cord. Upon entering Esprit Wellness, a New York City chiropractor's facility for disc decompression therapy, patients are brought into a private room where they lay down on a special decompression table. Harnesses are used to hold the body in alignment in order to aid the spine stretching process. A trained professional, either a certified physical therapist or chiropractor then slowly stretches the patient's spine.
End Results and Follow-Up
After one Disc Ease session many patients feel immediate relief of some or all of the pain and discomfort caused by their condition. Back pain relief is a common result of even a single session of this non-surgical procedure. As discs are stretched apart, pressure is relieved, inflammation is reduced, and the repair of damaged cartilage is encouraged due to increased blood flow to the area. It may take several therapy sessions in order to have complete relief of symptoms. NYC chiropractors, like Esprit Wellness, recommend 20-30 sessions for most patients to achieve lasting results.
Disc Ease VS Surgery
For many patients, Disc Ease therapy is a better option than surgery because it is non-invasive and requires no anesthesia. While it is true that surgery is typically a one-time occurrence, unlike the 20-30 disc decompression sessions, surgery also entails several visits to the surgeon and often an extended course of physical therapy sessions. The ease therapy from a chiropractic office in NYC may be less of a time investment. As previously stated, many patients undergoing ease therapy experience some level of immediate relief from symptoms; surgery is typically a painful process to recover from. All things considered, decompression therapy from your local NYC chiropractor is a safe, practical, viable option for reducing lower and upper back pain, calming sciatica, and promoting healing of numerous pain-causing conditions related to spinal disc injury.
