Non-surgical spinal decompression (traction)
A gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses a traction table to create space between the vertebrae. This takes pressure off the spinal discs, nerves and surrounding tissues. P Shinde Physiotherapy is one of very few physiotherapy clinics in the area to offer it.
Commonly used for: herniated or prolapsed discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica and other spinal problems.
During treatment you lie on a specially designed table while it applies controlled traction to your spine. This aims to:
- reduce pressure on the discs between the vertebrae
- improve blood flow and nutrient exchange in the area
- relieve pressure on nerves and ease pain
Most people tolerate it well, with few side effects. I'll assess you first to check it's suitable for you.
