Back trouble and chronic pain can certainly interfere with someones quality of life. Finding relief that does not use surgical intervention is preferable in most cases. The attraction to chiropractic care is due to its non-invasive nature and posing no risk of addiction to pain medication. A leading Stockbridge Georgia Chiropractor offers one technique called nonsurgical spinal decompression.

This method of care is contraindicated in some cases. An elderly client with osteoporosis, a pregnant woman or someone with a fracture is not a viable candidate for spinal decompression. Each individual must be thoroughly evaluated before that care is administered.

The first appointment is spent doing that assessment. When you are judged to be a viable candidate the procedure can begin. Between the vertebrae in the spinal column are small discs filled with a gel-like substance. Each disc serves as a cushion much like a shock-absorber does in a car. When injury or pressure causes one to rupture it can impact a nerve.

Spinal decompression uses traction to relieve pressure on any herniated discs. When the pressure is relieved, nutrients can enter the discs to begin a healing process. You lie either face down or up on a specially-built table that is motorized. Your body is held in place by two harnesses the chiropractor puts on you. One goes around the pelvis and the other around the trunk.

The chiropractor then controls movement of the table using built-in computerized controls. Your specific condition determines the position your body is placed in. In most cases you will be upside down for thirty or forty minutes during each session. The pain may be alleviated more quickly in some individuals. The number of required appointments can vary.

Whiplash pain from a car accident, sciatica and degenerative disc disease have all been helped by nonsurgical spinal decompression. There are a number of other conditions that also responded well. As your chronic pain is alleviated over time you may be able to look forward to getting back to work.
