Spinal Decompression for Herniated Discs
A herniated disc is a medical condition that occurs when a portion of the central part (the nucleus) of a spinal cord disc is pushed through a crack in the disc’s outer layer. This most often occurs in the lower back, and may not cause any symptoms at all. However, if you are experiencing symptoms of a herniated disc, visit Carey Chiropractic Bobcat Physical Therapy for herniated disc treatment in Athens, OH.
How to Tell if You Have a Herniated Disc
Symptoms of a herniated disc typically only affect one side of the body. You may experience arm or leg pain, numbness or tingling that travels down the arm or leg, and muscle weakness that causes you to stumble frequently or lose your balance. While symptoms of a herniated disc may resolve themselves without intervention, it’s best to seek herniated disc treatment if the symptoms persist more than two weeks or are affecting your ability to live your regular life.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment method for issues affecting the spinal discs. The procedure uses a motorized traction table to gently stretch your spine back into alignment, so that the herniated disc is no longer compressing a nerve and retracts to its natural place. Spinal decompression is considered a safe, effective herniated disc treatment method, as well as a treatment for degenerative disc disease, back or neck pain, sciatica, and injury or disease affecting the spinal nerve roots.
