Spinal Decompression Through Las Vegas Chiropractic

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

Other natural resolutions that could work in conjunction with spinal decompression: doing yoga; exercising at a level of low-impact; heat; cold; taking pain medication temporarily; EMS; acupressure, acupuncture or other therapy like massage; spinal adjustment; stretching the spine, or traction; and physical therapy.

History of Spinal Decompression: This method of spinal care option is ancient and many thousands of years old. This type of natural spinal care proves useful for many people suffering from degenerative spinal changes, bulging discs, or herniated discs and chronic 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.

The Las Vegas chiropractic practitioner then puts a harness around the patient's waist and the ends of the harness are attached to the foot of the table. The harness then slides the patient back and forth, which gives traction and allows the back to relax.
