How Mechanical Traction Can Help with Back Pain and Disc Issues?

One effective treatment for spinal nerve compression is decompression therapy, particularly traction. Traction gently stretches the spine, creating space between vertebrae to relieve pressure on compressed nerves. This process helps rehydrate spinal discs, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing.

In addition to relieving nerve compression, mechanical traction enhances blood flow to the affected areas of the spine. Improved circulation helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to the spinal tissues, speeding up recovery. This increased blood flow can also reduce muscle stiffness and spasms, which are often associated with back pain and disc issues. By targeting the root cause of the problem, traction provides long-term relief rather than just masking the symptoms.

How Can Physical Therapy Help Relieve Back Pain?

Physical therapy is a highly effective treatment for alleviating back pain, strengthen muscles, and correct posture. In addition to these exercises, therapists use pain-relieving techniques such as heat, ice, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation, which help reduce inflammation, relax tense muscles, and promote healing, ultimately enhancing mobility and restoring function.

One of the most significant benefits of physical therapy is its ability to address the underlying causes of back pain rather than merely treating the symptoms. By identifying muscle imbalances, poor posture, or improper movement patterns, physical therapists create customized treatment plans that not only provide relief but also prevent future injuries. This proactive approach empowers patients to maintain long-term spinal health through proper body mechanics and targeted exercises.

Can TENS Help Manage Pain and Improve Mobility?

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a non-invasive therapy that targets nerves to manage pain. It works by delivering mild electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin. This technique also encourages the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, promoting pain relief and improving overall comfort without the use of medication.

One of the key advantages of TENS therapy is its versatility in addressing various types of pain, including chronic conditions like arthritis, sciatica, and fibromyalgia, as well as acute injuries. By interrupting pain signals sent to the brain, TENS provides immediate relief during and after treatment. Its non-invasive nature makes it an attractive option for patients looking to avoid the side effects of medications or more invasive procedures.
