Las Vegas Chiropractic For Spinal Decompression

By Allan Bigarda


What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is when the spinal disc is not in alignment with the other vertebrae. As a result, it presses on the nerve that run through the spine center. The misalignment could be because of a herniated or bulging disc. A herniated disc is very painful and this pain is ongoing. You could suffer every day with back pain in varying degrees. The pain could radiate down the legs, and lead to sciatica.

When this misalignment is put back into alignment pressure is taken off the nerves thus eliminating your chronic back pain. A few of the options to correcting this is called traction. This spinal decompression therapy (just explained, ) could be effective on a herniated or bulging disc and thus helps you avoid surgical procedures.

What causes it: Not lifting heavy objects correctly; body turns and twists; automobile accidents; accidents where slips and falls happen; putting on too much weight; expecting a baby; getting older; osteoporosis

Natural options for healthcare alongside Spinal Decompression that your Las Vegas Chiropractor might offer: Yoga; low-impact exercise; Cold; Heat; EMS; NSAID or other temporary medication for pain; Massage Therapy; Acupuncture; Acupressure; Adjusting of the Spine; Stretching the Spine, or traction; Physical Therapy

Spinal Decompression in the past: This is a technique that has been used since ancient times. It is a good option for anyone who suffers from the spin degenerating over time, herniated or bulging discs and incessant back pain.

Because spinal decompression is non-invasive, it is often preferable to surgery. This is because the cost is much less and the healing time is also faster, with less pain. Patients would not have to take extra time off from work or their regular schedule.

Technique for Spinal Decompression: You keep your clothes on during spinal decompression. The practitioner may want you to lie down, either on your back or the other way, on top of a table that is motorized.

Your Las Vegas Chiropractor Practitioner attaches a harness around your waist and then attaches the ends of this harness to the foot of the table. This harness slides you gently back and forth. This technique provides traction and relaxation to your back.
