Spinal Decompression For Herniated Discs and Arthritis of the Spine
Are you suffering from a herniated disc or arthritis of the spine? Both of these conditions can be treated with spinal decompression. Visit our Leesburg chiropractor, Dr. Todd Chapman, to experience the benefits of spinal decompression and find relief from your symptoms.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression involves lying on a computerized and cushioned table for approximately 30 minutes per session while opposing pulleys gently create more space between vertebrae. This extra space relieves pressure and allows for better blood flow, letting your body naturally heal itself. Sessions can be so relaxing that you might catch a quick nap.
How Does Spinal Decompression Treat Herniated Discs?
A herniated or bulging disc occurs when the cushioning gel tissue between vertebrae slips out of position. This can be quite painful due to inflammation, nerve irritation, and lost range of motion in your back. Non-surgical spinal decompression creates space for discs to move back into place. Pain relief can be immediate, and you may need several sessions to ensure your spine doesn’t revert right back to where it was before treatment.
How Does Spinal Decompression Treat Arthritis of the Spine?
Arthritis is a common part of aging. It can be caused by wear and tear, or by an inflammatory condition or autoimmune disease. Arthritis of the spine can also occur due to a fall or lifting injury or osteoarthritis. It will most likely get progressively worse without treatment because the spine naturally has low blood flow.
Spinal decompression works to treat the root cause of your pain, instead of just masking symptoms, which pain pills do. Surgery tries to create space like spinal decompression does, but it doesn’t always provide the pain relief you’re looking for. Spinal decompression creates that extra space for better blood flow, which means your body can send healing nutrients to make repairs, reduce inflammation and swelling, and quell pain signals.
