Had Hit On L5 Vertebrae. Does The Spinal Cord Decompression Help But Only Temporarily? Concerned
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
Thank you for contacting me.
Your disc disorder at sacral portion put pressure on your spinal cord and that causes the pain. Therefore, it is not advisable to practice any sort of back exercise without the proper guidance of your physiotherapist. Because any wrong exercise may put more pressure over the spinal portion and might aggravate the condition.
Spinal decompression or traction therapy is the better suggestion to reduce spinal compression and pain both. However, it should be done at any physiotherapy center under the supervision of a qualified physiotherapist.
He will advise you the number of sitting per week looking your physical condition and intensity of pain. Both the traction or spinal decompression therapy and back exercise suggested by your physiotherapist can be helpful to rejuvenate the disc and relieve the pain too.
Please do write back for follow up queries that you may have.
Thank you.
