Are you having issues with your spine and pain in your back? Many patients experience relief from non-surgical spinal decompression, a form of motorized traction that works by stretching the spine gently. This stretching of the spine changes the position and helps realign the spine into its natural position. This process takes pressure off of the spinal discs and helps relieve pain. Spinal Decompression therapy is a relatively new and advanced chiropractic treatment that addresses painful symptoms related to degenerative spinal disc disease and herniated discs. For patients interested in learning more about the benefits of spinal decompression therapy, Dr. Pete Lazarnick (“Dr. Pete”) is an experienced chiropractor who has been expertly serving the communities of Carrollton, GA, since 1978.
What Conditions Does Spinal Decompression Address?
Spinal decompression therapy is excellent for addressing issues with spinal discs that are out of place and causing pressure on the nerves. An intervertebral disc (spinal disc) is a gelatinous disc that provides cushioning between each vertebra of the spine. When these discs become injured, out of place, dehydrated, or damaged from degenerative wear and tear, the discs move out of position and cause great pain to the individual.
Spinal decompression is an excellent treatment modality for the following conditions:
- Bulging discs
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative discs
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Pinched nerves
- Posterior facet syndrome (worn spinal joints)
Patients in Carrollton, GA, can benefit significantly from a chiropractic consultation with Dr. Pete. In the consultation, he will conduct a comprehensive medical history, including lifestyle choices and current presenting symptoms. Dr. Pete will then make personalized, qualified treatment recommendations, which may include spinal decompression therapy as well as other techniques such as Electrical Stimulation Therapies or therapeutic ultrasound.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy has numerous benefits. By gently stretching the spine, pressure is removed from the spinal discs. This process can allow herniated or bulging discs to move back into their natural position, which relieves pressure on the nerves and surrounding structures of the spine. Moving the spinal discs back into their natural position promotes the circulation of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the spinal column so it can heal. Patients with spinal disc disease or injury often feel extreme pain that can be debilitating. The gentle, holistic healing technique of spinal decompression therapy helps alleviate pain in the back, neck, arms, and legs so that patients can enjoy an improved quality of life.
Final decompression therapy is non-surgical, non-invasive, and can provide pain relief without the need for potentially addictive prescription drugs. To work with an outstanding chiropractor in Carrollton, GA, contact Dr. Pete for an appointment today! (770) 832-2226
