From the Doctors
Spinal discs are made up of two parts: a tough outer part and a jelly-like nucleus interior. The disc can be damaged from a lifting injury or from repetitive misuse. When this happens, the nucleus tears into the outer part (disc bulge), causing back and neck pain. If the nucleus actually begins to squeeze outside of the disc (disc herniation), then it will encounter the spinal cord or a nerve that travels down your arm or leg. This is what causes the radiating pain commonly associated with a herniated disc. Spinal Decompression involves a slow, gentle tractioning of the neck or low back. By slowly and incrementally increasing the amount of pull on the area being treated, the muscles are able to relax and allow for tractioning of the discs themselves. The discs are then intermittently tractioned and released, creating a mild suctioning on any herniations, and the pumping fresh, nutrient-rich fluids into the disc to allow for more rapid healing. Reduction of disc herniations and bulges helps remove irritation to nerve roots, and this provides relief to the areas where those nerves go, such as arms, legs, neck, low back and head. You can truly stop the pain forever!
