Non-surgical Spinal Decompression In Sugar Land At Total Chiropractic & Wellness Center

Spinal decompression performed by a chiropractor is a non-surgical method to pull on the spine to relieve pressure that's on the disks and the spinal vertebrae. Chiropractors in Sugar Land use spinal decompression to treat numerous causes of back pain, neck pain, bulging discs, degenerated discs, cervical spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, sciatica, lower back pain and more. Modern forms of this treatment are administered using a decompression table that basically pulls to separate the upper and lower body. Mechanical traction applied from a computer controls the angle and force of this traction in order to reduce the body's ability to resist force and allow the muscles to spasm. Through a series of 30- one minute alternating decompression and relaxation cycles, the pressure in a spinal disc is reduced and nutrition is infused, allowing the fibrosis to heal. Back and leg pain is often created by the inflammatory chemicals produced when discs are herniated and inflamed. Non-surgical decompression relieves pressure on the discs and the nerves in the spinal system.

How Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Effective At Treating Pain?

Spinal decompression relieves pain by drawing herniated discs back into their proper place. Decompression produces negative intradiscal pressure, or negative pressure with in the disc. A natural vacuum is created to draw the herniated and bulging discs back into their natural place, thus relieving the pressure that creates back pain. Ligaments that hold discs in their place can become stretched and even torn from bulging and herniation of the discs. Decompression strengthens ligaments that hold this material in place. This way the body can begin healing naturally and helps prevent the issue from reoccurring.
