A Look At The Benefits Of Spinal Decompression With Nashville Chiropractic Care

By Fernando Ketter


Chiropractic, is an alternative to traditional medicine. It is a natural approach to alleviating a variety of health conditions that include neck and back pain, sciatica, headaches, ear infections, foot problems, and more. Herniated or bulging discs are also common. A variety of scientifically-based therapies and techniques are utilized to address the root causes of these health problems. Nashville chiropractic care uses spinal decompression to facilitate recovery, even after surgical intervention has failed.

A non surgical FDA approved therapy known as spinal decompression, is used to relieve a number of conditions that involve spine. These conditions may include leg and back pain, or arm and neck pain. Problems can be the result of one or more herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or facet syndrome.

Typically, this procedure causes no pain or discomfort. Some people report that they fell asleep during the therapy. The discs are isolated by using distraction and relaxation as well as correct positioning. Once isolated, negative pressure is used to create a vacuum.

This vacuum serves two purposes. To start with, the vacuum will draw the protruding spongy material back into the disc. In addition, the vacuum effect increases blood flow that promotes healing.

Unlike traditional traction, relieving compression of the spine can be customized for each patient. The spinal decompression system constantly collects data, which cycles through its computer system to control variations in therapy for best results. This up-to-date system also eliminates the need for muscle guarding that is typical in tradition traction.

In addition, this sophisticated system promotes disc rehydration and increased decompression levels.

Medical research supports the benefits of this technique. Studies reveal that the majority of patients with ruptured discs report "good" to "excellent" results after undergoing spinal decompression. In other research, 10 out of 14 patients achieved reductions in herniation of up to 90%.

Generally, 20 sessions are recommended for best results. However, patient need determines the number of sessions prescribed.
