Compression doesn't means pain come from,inflammation around L4/L5 play main role for pain coming.So Spinal Decompression Therapy works or not?
Dependent on where the inflammation is spinal decompression therapy can help with back pain. spinal decompression therapy works well when the inflammation is outside of the spinal column. spinal decompression therapy does not work when the inflammation is in the spinal column itself.
Hi i have had a laminectomy at L4/L5 and a bilateral discectomy at S1 in nov07.i also had a NERVE DECOMPRESSION at L5 for back and leg pain .SORRY to tell you but i have been is hell !!! since the op. this is my second op and i wont be having anymore!!
i use a device like a tens unit it is called an ACTICARE TSE it is an external spinel cord stim and a tens with lots of oyher modes .and i take lots of strong pain killers 'my life is poo!! all i can do is sit in my recliner; i could swim/walk my dog/ and live a {normalish} life before that last op ;i am only 42 married .if you dont need an op dont have one!!!
