Why Choose Spinal Decompression for Herniated Discs and Arthritis of the Spine?
If you are suffering from a herniated disc or arthritis of the spine, our Albany chiropractor can help you find relief with spinal decompression. What can expect from this type of treatment?
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is a safe, non-surgical form of treatment designed to provide pain relief in the back, neck, and spine. Since the spine naturally has low blood flow, healing can be slow. Spinal decompression carefully creates more space for your discs, leading to pressure relief, more blood flow, and space for your discs to decompress.
Signs and Symptoms of Herniated Discs
Herniated discs, sometimes called slipped discs, produce a range of symptoms based on the location. You may experience pain on one side of your body; sharp pain that moves down into your hip, buttocks and/or leg; and sudden pain during specific movements, like turning your head. Herniated disc pain can worsen when you lie down, sit, sneeze, cough, bend over, or from other movements or stationary positions.
Our chiropractor, Dr. Wren, will perform a full evaluation to determine if you have a herniated disc and where, and go over the best course of treatment for the fastest pain relief. Spinal decompression is often recommended because of its computer-guided precision and ample research supporting its effectiveness.
Signs and Symptoms of Arthritis of the Spine
Any time you’re dealing with arthritis, it also means you’re dealing with a lot of inflammation. Arthritis of the spine is no different. It most often manifests as osteoarthritis in the lower back. Inflammation flares up in the spinal facet joints, along with the joints in your pelvis.
Signs and symptoms of spinal arthritis include back pain, neck pain, stiffness, loss of range of motion, swelling, numbness and more. Dr. Wren often recommends spinal decompression for arthritis of the spine because creating that extra space between vertebrae enables your body to send in extra healing nutrients and quell inflammation.
