Why Is Spinal Decompression Needed?

If you are suffering from lower back pain that never goes away, this may be a question you are asking. Simply stated, spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that relieves back pain and other problems associated with spinal disc injuries. Spinal decompression treatments are significantly less invasive than injections, spinal surgery and anesthesia.

Even though spinal decompression treatments are non-invasive, there are still risks involved. Thus, before a course of treatment is prescribed, it is important that a physical exam, MRI and X-rays be performed to determine the right course of treatment for you.

How Do Spinal Decompression Treatments Work?

Spinal decompression helps to decrease pressure in the discs, stimulating the blood supply, and thereby promoting healing naturally. Treatments work by relaxing the spine through specific positions. The spinal disc is put under "negative pressure," to pull the herniated disc material back inside through a vacuum effect. Treatment is often used for those who have back or neck pain because of damaged discs, including herniated disc, bulging discs, narrowing of the spinal column or stenosis of the spine, sciatica or radiculopathy.

Are There Patients Who Cannot Use Spinal Decompression?

• Those who have severe osteoporosis or degeneration of the spine;
• Those who have had spinal surgery with the implantation of screws, metal plates or similar hardware, unless the bone is fused together;
• Pregnant women--because of pressure on the abdomen.

What Then . . . ?

If you are one of the patients for whom spinal decompression treatment is not a viable option, you can rest assured that there are other methods that can provide results in addition to or as an alternative to invasive surgical options, such as chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, medication, and injections.

Why are you living in pain?

Chiropractic care offers natural healing techniques. Chiropractic is a safe and effective medical practice that addresses the role of the spine and central nervous system as they affect your health. Chiropractors can identify and correct the actual causes of the many health challenges that appear when misalignments of the vertebrae (the bones that make up the spine) disrupt neurological communications between your brain and the cells, tissues and organs of the body. These vertebral misalignments may have occurred naturally, or they may be a result of injury. Chiropractic is a completely natural and effective approach to treating the causes, not just the symptoms.

What is the First Step?

The first step in treatment is a consultation with the doctor of chiropractic. This consultation provides you with the opportunity to ask questions, and to determine the right kind of treatment for your particular areas of concern. Our chiropractic doctors will take rays before your first chiropractic adjustment, based on your complaints and condition, to rule out any other potential medical problems.

What Happens During a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Our chiropractors correct misalignments by gently adjusting the position of each vertebrae of the spine, reducing or eliminating neuropathy (changes in the pathology of the nerves), allowing your body to properly self-regulate, adapt and heal. Depending on the patient's needs, this may be conducted when the patient is lying down, sitting, and/or standing up. Contrary to popular conversation, Chiropractic adjustments don't actually "crack" anything. In fact, adjustments may not even involve that popping noise heard when gasses are released between the joints.

Regular chiropractic adjustments maintain the integrity of the nervous system by keeping the spine flexible and by keeping the body in control of the movements of its own vertebrae so the body can adjust and re-adjust the positions of those vertebrae as it needs to.

Chiropractic Low Back Pain Treatments: An Alternative to Surgery!

Back injuries are the most prevalent occupational injury in the United States. In May 2013, it was reported by Keeney et. al. that the chances of a patient undergoing lumbar spinal surgery depended upon which specialist they saw first. 42.7 percent of workers who consulted a surgeon first ended up having surgery. Only 1.5 percent of workers who consulted a chiropractor first for low back pain treatments would end up having surgery. They concluded that there was a very strong association between surgery and the first provider seen by the patient.
