Contrary to what the name may suggest, spinal decompression is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment for back and neck pains that have their roots in the vertebral disk.
The cause of the problems that are treated by spinal decompression is the displacement of the material that is supposed to be contained in the vertebral disk (normally due to pressure). Now given the way the body is created " with a lot of space economy " anything falling out of place is sure to get into something else's space in the body, as there is hardly any idle space in the body. And indeed, this is what happens with the disk material that finds its way out of the protective layer of the disk; as such material ends up getting into nerves way, causing the severe back and disk pain which is characteristic of the problems treated through disk decompression.
So the way spinal decompression treatment works is by creating a vacuum in the disk space that the displaced disk material is supposed to occupy " and as nature hates a vacuum " pull the material back to that space, where it is supposed to be, and where it would not be in nerves way (which is what is responsible for the pain). All this is achieved mechanically (with aid of computer technology) and without using any surgery.
The creation of the vacuum to accommodate the vertebral disks which have fallen out of place is not achieved suddenly, but rather progressively. This explains why spinal decompression calls for up to twenty treatment sessions to be effective.
Expectant mothers, people suffering from obesity, osteoporosis and severe nerve damage are among the people who are advised against using spinal decompression.
And spinal decompression, in spite of the advanced technology it uses, is one of the most cost effective methods for treatment of vertebral disk related back and neck pains. For the most part, the average cost of complete spinal decompression is in the $2000 to $4000 range, this being lower than (or at most the same amount) as what surgical treatment for the condition would cost, not to mention that surgery comes with its harrowing risks, and a considerable down-time as the patient recuperates.
Of course this is not to say that spinal decompression is a perfect substitute for surgical treatment for back and neck problems, as there are conditions in which spinal decompression might be contra-indicated (as mentioned earlier) and conditions in which spinal decompression is simply not the right treatment, and where one just has to go for surgical treatment.
