What does spinal decompression treatment aim to alleviate?

Spinal decompression treatment is specifically designed to alleviate pressure on spinal discs. This technique works by creating spacing between the vertebrae, which can help relieve the strain on spinal discs that may be herniated or bulging. When pressure is relieved from the discs, it can help improve blood flow and promote the healing of surrounding tissues, thus reducing related pain and discomfort. This approach is especially beneficial for individuals suffering from conditions such as sciatica or chronic back pain that result from disc issues or spinal nerve compression due to those discs.

The other options, such as pain from muscle strains and nerve compression in the neck, while relevant in the context of spinal health, do not directly address the primary focus of spinal decompression therapy. Additionally, bone density loss is unrelated to the purpose of spinal decompression treatment, which specifically targets the disc spaces and the relief of pressure therein rather than overall bone health or muscle strain issues.
