Spinal decompression doctors around the country have different protocols they use for their programs. Heat, Ice, Massage or Muscle Stim may all be used together or separately. But some doctors only use rehabilitation as part of their program
In the short term the patient may feel better after going through these protocols, the majority of them provide no added benefit.
This is common in the therapy world, as passive treatments are often performed because they make the patient feel good at the time, but they don't offer much in the way of structural change.
Scientific journals have reported that any time a disc is injured the muscles in the back become very weak very quickly.
The disc injuries most common are disc herniation's, bulges and degenerative discs.
The medical studies have proven that if left unaddressed this weakness creates more problems down the road due to less stability in the spine.
Spinal decompression is most effective when combined with aggressive strengthening of the deep spinal muscles.
To ensure that the disc does not get irritated during the process, each layer of muscles must be worked slowly and deliberately to provide long term benefits.
So if you are undergoing spinal decompression, make sure your program is coupled with a well thought out and scientifically grounded rehabilitation program.
