Decompression Therapy In Cypress TX

Back pain is a common complaint among most adults. Children are also prone to experiencing back pain occasionally. The pain can be normal age-related wear and tear or be caused by participating in sports, exercise, or maybe even playing on the beach. Our back supports the weight and activity of almost the entire body, and the stress can lead to pain that can range from mild to severe.

Patients with back pain that want to avoid the side effects of pain medications have the option of being seen at Your Family Chiropractic Care for more natural relief.

Dr. Walter Hickman in Cypress, Texas, offers decompression therapy for patients suffering from back pain. Pressure is taken off the vertebrae and nerves along the spine using motorized traction. Stretching relieves tension and may allow herniated or bulging discs to move back where they are supposed to be. With the spine in its natural position, oxygen and nutrients can nourish the bones and soft tissues and promote healing.

Decompression therapy is also useful in treating other conditions besides back pain. Degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and neck pain also benefit from decompression of the spine.

Decompression therapy typically lasts from six to eight sessions, although older patients (over age 55) may take more visits. This therapy sometimes provides enough relief to lead the patient to fall asleep on the table.
