dekompressionsterapi

Dekompressionssterapi, also known as spinal decompression therapy, is a non-surgical treatment used to relieve back pain. It involves gently stretching the spine to reduce pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. This is typically achieved using a specialized table or machine that applies controlled pulling forces. The therapy aims to create negative pressure within the spinal discs, which may encourage the retraction of herniated or bulging discs and promote the flow of nutrient-rich fluid into the discs, aiding in healing.

The procedure is usually performed over a series of sessions. During a session, the patient is typically secured with straps, and the machine slowly applies traction. The force and duration of the pull are carefully calibrated based on the patient's condition and body weight. Patients often report a feeling of relief during or after the treatment. Dekompressionssterapi is commonly used for conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and pinched nerves.

While many individuals find relief through dekompressionssterapi, it is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications may include certain spinal conditions, fractures, or severe osteoporosis. A thorough medical evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional is essential to determine if this therapy is appropriate. The effectiveness of dekompressionssterapi can vary among individuals, and it is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic approaches like physical therapy and exercise.
