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.

Realigning the spine takes pressure off the nerve and eliminates chronic back pain. One of the ways to correct this issue is traction. This previously-explained spinal decompression therapy is often effective on a bulging or herniated disc and helps with avoiding having surgery.

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 healthcare options in addition to Spinal Decompression possibly offered by your Las Vegas Chiropractor: Yoga; Exercise at a low impact level; Heat; Cold; EMS; Temporary pain medication like an NSAID; Massage Therapy; Acupressure; Acupuncture; Spinal Adjustments; Traction or stretching of the spine; 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: The patient remains fully clothed and the practitioner may ask him or her to lie face or back down on a motorized table.

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.
