Episode 51 - Spinal Decompression 101

In this episode of Back at It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. J.D. Dudum kicks off season four by covering the fundamentals of spinal decompression therapy. He explains the difference between spinal decompression and traditional traction, emphasizing how decompression works through oscillating movements to relieve pressure on the spine. Dr. Dudum describes how compression from everyday activities like sitting can cause disc injuries, leading to conditions like sciatica. He delves into the science behind spinal decompression, sharing insights from his published studies and the benefits of this gentle, non-invasive therapy for patients with disc injuries, herniations, and back pain. He also discusses the importance of using specific angles and oscillation cycles to target individual patient needs. If you're interested in learning more about spinal decompression and back pain relief, this episode provides essential knowledge for understanding how the therapy works and who it can help.
