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.

Spinal decompression, an FDA-approved, non-surgical procedure, is used to mitigate health conditions involving the spinal column. These can include neck and arm pain, or back and leg pain. These issues may be caused by herniated, bulging, or protruding discs, facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, or numbness and pain in the limbs.

Typically, this procedure causes no pain or discomfort. Some people report that they fell asleep during the therapy. The discs are isolated by using distraction and relaxation as well as correct positioning. Once isolated, negative pressure is used to create a vacuum.

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.

In addition, this sophisticated system promotes 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.
