Pain Relief without Injections
ESI vs Spinal Decompression Therapy
Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) and nerve blocks are both pain management techniques that involve the injection of corticosteroids directly into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord. Steroid Injections may provide short-term pain relief in about one half of the people who receive it. Symptoms sometimes remain better for weeks to months, but rarely up to a year. The procedure does not cure the cause of your spinal pain and is not without risks.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure performed on a revolutionary computer-controlled hydraulic table that is in some ways similar to an old school traction table. By gently and slowly stretching the vertebra apart a negative pressure is created to help pull back the bulging disc to un-pinch the nerve. The purpose is not just pain relief but to improve the strength and flexibility of the involved disc and restore normal function.
