Understanding Cervical Decompression in Chatsworth CA

Cervical decompression is a medical treatment used to treat neck pain by gently stretching the spine to reduce pressure on the cervical discs and nerves of the neck. These are the intervertebral discs which separate the vertebrae of the spine, and act as shock absorbers. Cervical and spinal degeneration can occur over time, with aging often leading to some form of injury or condition. This degeneration of the intervertebral discs can compress or damage the nerves, causing pain, numbness or tingling in the neck, shoulders, arms and hands. Cervical decompression works by applying negative pressure to the discs, which can draw in fluids and nutrients to help heal the area where pain and symptoms are coming from.

How is Cervical Decompression Performed?

Cervical decompression is carried out with the use of a specialized table that the practitioner manipulates in order to regulate the amount of traction being put on the neck. You will lie down on it with a harness wrapped around your head and neck, and then the practitioner will pull on the neck through the table. They can regulate the amount of traction so it brings about the stretching effect in your neck.

Benefits of Cervical Decompression

Cervical decompression has several benefits for individuals who suffer from neck pain or injuries. Some of these benefits include:

• Non-invasive: As well as connecting you to your natural healing response, cervical decompression is non-invasive. No surgery or drug means no incisions or anesthetics.
• Pain relief: Gentle traction on the spine can relieve pressure on cervical discs and nerves, resulting in less pain, numbness, and tingling.
• Improved mobility: Cervical decompression can lead to better mobility and more freedom and comfort of movement for the neck.
• No downtime: Unlike components of a surgical procedure, such as knee replacement, cervical decompression does not require a lot of postoperative ‘downtime’ – patients can usually go about their normal activities immediately after treatment or surgery.
