If you're suffering from a herniated disc in your lower back or your neck, bulging or protruded discs, facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, or leg or arm numbness or pain, then a Nashville chiropractor would like to discuss spinal decompression therapy with you. If chronic pain, numbness, or cramping in the extremities are left untreated, the pain might worsen, and this could cause a reduction in your quality of life.

What are some of the most common symptoms which might be alleviated using spinal decompression therapy?

Spinal Stenosis (Neck) - Your hand or your arm may tingle or feel numb if you have a compressed nerve right at the very top section of the spine. Some people, in very extreme cases of spinal stenosis, also lose their ability to control their bowel and bladder movements. Weakness can be problematic in the muscles in the arm and hand when nerve compression is at its worst.

Low-back spinal stenosis - Pinched nerves or nerves in the low-back that have become compressed could cause tingling in the leg and in the buttock, along with numbness or a tingling sensation in the foot.

This is a type of traction therapy that is entirely non-surgical and that is known to be incredibly successful at alleviating the discomfort that disc herniation and degeneration commonly cause - Your Nashville chiropractor will perform a comprehensive exam to determine which methods of care will be best for you. An integrated plan that includes therapeutic exercise, spinal decompression, and the use of heat and ice could be very effective at alleviating pain.

Medical studies have documented (using MRI) disc herniation reduction up to 90 percent in 3/4 of the cases studied. Another study reported that 50 to 89 percent of ruptured disc patients' studies achieved good to excellent improvement after using spinal decompression therapy.

A Nashville chiropractor offers patients the DRX9000 system for nonsurgical spinal decompression. Its servo-motion system constantly gathers data (2000 times per second) and continually feeds the information back into the computer. This method avoids any therapy variations to make sure that you are receiving a correct spinal decompression therapy.
