Why Get Spinal Decompression for Herniated Discs
The pain and discomfort caused by a herniated disc can prevent you from working, exercising, standing and walking, sleeping, and spending time with family and friends. If a herniated disc is keeping you from living your best life, our team at First Choice Chiropractic can provide safe, effective relief through a herniated disc treatment in Glendale, AZ called spinal decompression therapy.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment method for conditions of the spine that cause a misalignment, pressure on nerves, or mobility issues. During spinal decompression, a motorized traction table gently and safely stretches your spine, gradually allowing your herniated disc to retract and removing pressure from your nerves. Many patients feel relief after just one spinal decompression treatment, while others may need to continue treatments for a series of sessions over weeks or months.
Is Spinal Decompression Safe?
Yes, spinal decompression therapy is safe. The procedure itself does not require the use of surgical instruments, incisions, or prescription medication. Most patients do not experience any negative side effects during or after spinal decompression therapy. Some patients report a mild, temporary soreness or tenderness around the lower back or neck, but most can immediately resume their regular daily activities with no downtime.
What to Expect When You Visit a Chiropractor for Spinal Decompression
When you visit our chiropractor, Dr. Tiffany Harris, for spinal decompression, she will take a full medical history from you and perform a physical examination. She may recommend x-rays or an MRI to confirm you have a herniated disc and would benefit from spinal decompression. Before your treatment, you will lie fully clothed on the traction table. Dr. Harris will control the table’s motor using a computer. The treatment may take 15-20 minutes. Dr. Harris will then check in with you to see how you feel after spinal decompression and will recommend another session if necessary.
