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.

In nearly all cases, decompressing the spine is painless. Patients even report falling asleep during the procedure. Discs in the neck and back, through cycles of distraction and relaxation phases and proper positioning, are isolated and placed under negative pressure, which creates a vacuum effect.

The vacuum effect fulfills two purposes. It draws protruding or herniated material back within the disc. Additionally, the vacuum stimulates enhanced blood supply, which in turn contributes to 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.

Additionally, this advanced system supports 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%.

The practitioner typically will recommend twenty sessions for the best results. However, the number of sessions will depend on the needs of the patient.
