If you suffer from herniated discs, sciatica or other sources of pain directly related to your central nervous system, your problem casts a dark shadow over every single facet of your daily activities. There are many treatments available for pain relief, but if you justifiably fear invasive surgeries or pharmaceutical solutions, you do have more natural options. Spinal decompression therapy from a chiropractor has proven to drastically reduce pain and optimize your body's natural healing powers. Here's a short overview.
What Conditions Does Spinal Decompression Help?
• Bulging Discs
• Herniated Discs
• Sciatica and other forms of Leg Pain
• Chronic Back Pain
• Neck Pain
• Limited Mobility
What is Spinal Decompression?
Nerve roots in the spine can become pinched by disc problems or bone spurs, resulting in excruciating pain. In a nutshell, decompression gently relieves the pressure on these nerve roots over time and separates the discs, allowing the free flow of beneficial nutrients, oxygen back into the area and thereby promoting the body's natural healing process.
How Does It Work?
A fully-clothed patient lies on a special table and decompression is achieved by using a combination of spinal position and the application of varying degrees and intensities of distraction forces which serve to gently separate discs, creating a space. This careful stretching of the spine creates a vacuum effect between the discs and pressure is relieved. Each session only takes about 20 minutes, and most patients require several treatments over a period of time to achieve optimal results.
