What is Spinal Decompression?
At APH Chiropractic, we have one of the most sophisticated non-surgical treatments available-Spinal Disc Decompression. We are one of the few offices in the state of Missouri to offer both cervical and lumbar options for our patients with spinal disc disorders. Spinal disc decompression is a safe, gentle, non-surgical, and effective modality to heal lumbar and cervical disc conditions. These conditions can include disc bulges, disc herniations, disc degeneration, and stenosis. These conditions can manifest as back or neck pain, radiating nerve pain down the arms or legs, numbness or tingling in an extremity, or chronic joint issues in the region.
Our doctors have seen these treatments saved a countless number of patients from surgery. If surgery has already been presented as one of your options for a spinal condition, you might be a candidate for trying decompression first.
Conditions that are relieved by spinal decompression:
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Degenerated disc disease (DDD)
- Facet syndrome
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Pinched nerves
- Post-surgical pain
- Radiculopathies
Spinal disc decompression works by taking pressure off the spinal discs, restoring the normal physiological hydration process across the disc space, and minimizing pressure/inflammation on the spinal nerves.
