Decompression Therapy by Dr. Grant
If you’ve been to a chiropractor after an accident, you may have been suggested to go in for decompression therapy.
The therapy involves the use of a traction table and employs the use of motorized devices that helps to alleviate pain in the back area or along the leg.
Dr. Grant, one of the best chiropractors in the Salt Lake area, uses this nonsurgical method to help patients achieve better mobility of their joints and nerves.
Theory behind Spinal Decompression Therapy
Dr. Grant employs spinal decompression therapy with the goal of pain alleviation in mind. It allows for a favorable internal environment that helps your body to heal bulging, degenerating and herniated discs.
Spinal decompression allows for the traction of the spine and aids in its re positioning to accommodate the burgeoning disc material. This theory is however, not limited to spinal issues only. They apply the same logic for other joints as well.
Dr. Grant can use the therapy to get rid of your pain and uneasiness in a very short time.
Medical Evidence behind Decompression Therapy
While it is a very popular resort for people suffering from back and joint pain, there is not too much clinical evidence to suggest that decompression therapy is very efficacious, as its believer’s project. In fact, there are some risks involved. Some experts suggest that decompression therapy is just about as useful as its other inexpensive alternates like manual massages.
Another reason for the lack of medical literature on this therapy is unlike other medical researchers, there are no placebo or control groups with which to compare results as to the efficacy of the practice.
There is no denying the fact that decompression therapy is a totally noninvasive and a non-pharmaceutical in nature and that in itself is a very attractive feature about this therapy. This accounts for its popularity, and there are very few side effects to complain about.
Dr. Grant provides you this safe and sure way to live a better life without any pain exclusively at his clinic.
