How Spinal Decompression Therapy Helps Pain In Nashville

By Tabatha Fickel


If you've got a herniated disc in the lower portion of your back or at your neck, protruded or bulging discs, numbness and discomfort in the legs or in your arm, spinal stenosis or even facet syndrome, it is probably time to meet with a Nashville chiropractor to talk about the benefits that might be gained from spinal decompression therapy. When cramping, numbness and pain are chronic, and when the need for care is left neglected, there is always the chance that these things could grow worse and that they can have a very adverse impact on your life.

What are some of the most common symptoms which might be alleviated using spinal decompression therapy?

Spinal Stenosis (Neck) - Your hand or your arm may tingle or feel numb if you have a compressed nerve right at the very top section of the spine. Some people, in very extreme cases of spinal stenosis, also lose their ability to control their bowel and bladder movements. Weakness can be problematic in the muscles in the arm and hand when nerve compression is at its worst.

Spinal stenosis of the lower back - Nerve compression in the low back can cause a tingling sensation in the buttock and down the leg along with numbness and tingling in the foot.

This non-surgical, traction is known to be quite effective for ameliorating the pain and discomfort that is caused by herniation of the spinal discs and degenerative discs - You will receive a complete physical exam when working with a Nashville chiropractor in order to determine the best course to take. Hot and cold therapy, therapeutic exercise and decompression are among some of the tactics that might be used to relieve your pain.

Medical studies have documented (using MRI) disc herniation reduction up to 90 percent in 3/4 of the cases studied. Another study reported that 50 to 89 percent of ruptured disc patients' studies achieved good to excellent improvement after using spinal decompression therapy.

A trusted Nashville chiropractor provides patients with non-surgical spinal decompression via the innovative, DRX9000 system. This is a servo-motion unit that is always gathering data at rate of 2000 times every second, while constantly sending this information into the computer. As such, it prevents variations in the patient's therapy to ensure that spinal decompression is done properly.
