Spinal Decompression
Choose Spinal Decompression for Non-Invasive Pain Relief
In the past, patients that would visit a doctor complaining of pain would be given a prescription. They would be told not to partake in strenuous physical activity, and they might be given a recommendation for physical therapy. In the event none of that was working, the next option was surgery. With spinal decompression, that no longer has to be the case.
Why Does Back Pain Occur?
There are a number of reasons why patients feel pain in their backs. It could be from an injury or simply from aging. The vertebra that protects the spinal cord has soft discs in between each section. The discs are there to absorb shock and protect the vertebra and spinal cord. When a disc herniates or degenerates, it can inflame and put pressure on the nerves in the surrounding area. It puts a strain on the nerves, and that’s where the pain and numbness occurs.
