Back Decompression

Any back or neck pain caused by a damaged disc may be helped by spinal decompression therapy. Many individuals suffering from back, neck and spinal-related conditions experience mild to moderate, even severe chronic pain. The key to spinal decompression, and what sets spinal decompression apart from other types of spinal traction technologies is being able to isolate the disc. Many of patients find relief from the unbearable, chronic back pain that suffer from daily. Triad Area Health First Doctors are committed to providing the most advanced, state-of-the-art, up-to-the-minute chiropractic and natural care possible for their patients. Spinal Decompression not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.

Lumbar fusion surgery is recommended as an option for very specific conditions affecting the lumbar spine. A spinal fusion involves connecting two or more segments of the spine to help stabilize the spine. Treatments are short in duration, most completed in under an hour, and administered while you are fully clothed. A laminoplasty is performed to make the opening larger through which the spinal canal travels. The procedure has been studied extensively, has been clinically validated and thousands of patients have been successfully treated. Depending on the extent of material removed during decompression back surgery, it may be necessary to perform a spinal fusion or other stabilization procedure.  Surgical intervention is always the last choice recommended for our patients.

Individuals who undergo spinal decompression generally make a full recovery in four to six weeks. There are no side effects to the spinal decompression treatment and it is non-invasive, so it should be tried first.

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment for individuals who suffer from neck and back problems.  By enlarging the disc through decompression, a herniation is centralized to a point that changes the internal pressure.  This allows the disc to heal and repair to a more normal state.
