Scarsdale, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/02/2014 -- As we age, our body especially our bones also age. Physical work and stress also add up to the reasons why our body sometimes ache and deteriorate. As we age, we tend to feel uncomfortable pain on our spine and the lower back. This pain may also be caused by injuries and other numerous factors. Our spinal cord which is located at the back of our torso is protected by 33 vertebrae which are made of bones. Between each vertebra are soft discs with a ligamentous outer layer. These ligaments serve as a protection of the vertebra and the spinal column. We experience back pain because of the wear and tear which causes the weakening of the disc, thus aging. Another reason is what is scientifically termed as herniation or the swelling of the disc which causes pain or numbness.

There are a lot of medical options to consider in treating back pain such as medication, surgery and therapy. Among all these, most patients consider having the Spinal Decompression Therapy that is an expertise of NY Sports and Spinal Physical Therapy in New York. Spinal Decompression is a gentle and non-surgical way to treat injured spinal discs. This kind of therapy is the best procedure to replace surgery. Spinal Decompression Therapy is being done by having the patient lie on a decompression table. During the sessions, spinal discs which have injuries are gently stretched apart producing a suction force inside the disc. This draws bulges and herniation back to the center of the spinal discs including oxygen, nutrient and important healing substances to take the cause of the pain away. This type of therapy can actually help a patient to avoid surgery. Although the number of sessions may take up to 20 depending on the gravity of the pain, it is a promising way to avoid surgery and aid in lessening the cost a patient may spend to cure back pain.

Although Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical treatment, there are still some factors which need to be considered before undergoing the treatment especially in choosing a health care provider which will carry on the procedure.

1. Experience: Do some research and choose a health care provider which already has numerous and successful treatment in Spinal Decompression Therapy

2. Knowledge of the Procedure: Our spinal column is connected to the brain and is said be in charge of our body’s physical movement, thus having someone treat our spine and some part of it is a huge risk and we want to have a professional to treat it who knows everything on the treatment is done.

3. Cost: Since Spinal Decompression Therapy is non-surgical and may take up as many sessions as possible; it should not be that costly.

4. Reasonable Treatment Procedure: Since the result of the therapy varies from the illness and from each patient, the number of sessions should also vary depending on the diagnosis.

Back surgery should always be the last resort when experiencing back pain. Medications over a long period of time may have some side effects. With Spinal Decompression Therapy provided by NY Sports and Spinal Physical Therapy, the only recorded side effect is a mild case of muscle spasm which lasted for only a short period of time thus it is highly recommended to cure pain.
