Are You a Good Candidate for Spinal Decompression for Herniated Discs?
The symptoms of a herniated disc can affect every area of your life, making it hard to keep up with your daily routine. If you’re tired of letting your herniated disc pain and sciatica run your life, you should visit our chiropractors for herniated disc treatment in North Palm Beach, FL. Spinal decompression is a safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment for disc herniation. Are you a good candidate for this treatment?
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical herniated disc treatment that utilizes a motorized traction table to gently stretch the spine. The patient lies on the table and one of our chiropractors controls the table's movement with a computer.
How Spinal Decompression Treats Disc Herniation
As the traction table moves, it slowly and gently stretches the spine. It can move herniated discs back into alignment so that they are no longer putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. Once that pressure is removed, symptoms like back pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness will go away.
What to Expect During & After Spinal Decompression
When you visit our chiropractors for spinal decompression, you will lie fully clothed on a padded table. Most patients feel no pain or discomfort during the procedure, and many find it very relaxing. After the treatment, you may experience mild soreness, which should go away in a few hours.
Are You a Good Candidate for Spinal Decompression?
You’re a good candidate for spinal decompression if you’re in good health, and have low back pain, sciatica, disc herniation, age-related disc degeneration, or a bone spur.
Who Isn’t a Good Candidate for Spinal Decompression?
You are not a good candidate for spinal decompression therapy if you are pregnant, have had a failed back surgery, have any type of spinal implant, or have certain medical conditions or health problems that make the treatment dangerous.
