Choosing Between Spinal Decompression and Surgery


If you have been told that you need surgery for spinal nerve release, you may want to consider having spinal decompression therapy first. Today, a sizable number of people have obtained relief from sciatica, pinched nerves, and slipped discs without having to deal with all the post operative complications that can come with even the most minimal types of spinal surgery. 

For example, even if you are in good health, there is no such thing as a nerve that will completely heal from a surgical procedures.

When you have surgery sciatica, or some other type of radiating pain, you may wind up with some loss of sensation, as well as complete numbness in certain areas. While you may think this will be better than having to put up with chronic pain, you may find out that numbness is far worse.  Chances are, if you think about that awful dead feeling that comes when your feet fall asleep, you will get some idea of what it can be like to deal with numbness after nerve release surgeries. 

Even though some people have obtained relief from surgical procedures designed to treat nerves and other tissue in the spine, they can still cause all kinds of other problems.   

If the procedure does not relieve your pain, it may also lead to other issues that will cause you just as much misery.  While these problems do not always last forever, you may never feel completely recovered.  On the other hand, if you go for spinal decompression, you will not have side effects, let alone worry about long term damage to your body.
