Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Treats Lower Back Pain in Amite City
We work with many back pain patients in our Amite City chiropractic office, and The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic and our staff uses a variety of techniques to help get you out of pain and restore your spine's normal, healthy function. We find spinal decompression to be an effective approach.
Understanding Spinal Decompression Therapy
To help you better understand spinal decompression therapy, think of the discs in your spine like small balloons filled with jelly. When you squeeze them (which occurs due to normal living, sustaining an injury, or other medical conditions), they can protrude, placing pressure on the nerves in your spine. This affects your brain's ability to communicate with tissues in the rest of your body.
If the pressure on the discs becomes too high, they can herniate or bulge. This lessens the cushion between your vertebrae and can cause discomfort. The purpose of spinal decompression therapy is to alleviate this pressure to help improve your body's function and also reduce your level of pain.
Is Spinal Decompression Therapy for Me?
Spinal decompression therapy relieves disc pressure through the use of a specially designed table that carefully elongates your spinal column through slow and controlled movements. This lessens the pressure placed on your discs. Some studies show an increase in disc height by as much as 1.3 millimeters after just six weeks of this treatment.
If you're wondering if spinal decompression therapy could help you feel and move better, simply call our Amite City office and schedule an appointment with The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic today. Your optimal health is our number one priority!
