Undergo Spinal Decompression for Herniated Discs
Herniated discs occur most often in the lower back but can also occur in the neck. The most common cause of disc herniation is age-related wear and tear, but in rare cases, a herniated disc can be the result of a traumatic fall, car accident, sports or work injury, or other trauma. If you think you’re exhibiting signs or symptoms of a herniated disc, our chiropractor, Dr. Ronald Faries, can provide safe, effective, and non-invasive herniated disc treatment, such as spinal decompression, in Keller, TX.
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment for herniated discs, bone spurs, and age-related disc degeneration. During spinal decompression therapy, you will lie fully clothed on a comfortable, motorized traction table. The table will slowly, gently stretch your spine, allowing discs to move back into place, relieving pressure on your nerves, and allowing oxygen and nutrients to flow easily back into the discs and vertebrae of the spine. Most patients do not feel any discomfort or pain during spinal decompression therapy, and many find the procedure so relaxing they fall asleep on the table.
When to Visit Our Chiropractor for Herniated Disc Treatment
You should visit Dr. Faries for herniated disc treatment if you’re experiencing symptoms that are preventing you from walking, sleeping, working, exercising, and participating in your normal daily routine. The most common symptoms of a herniated disc are pain in the lower back that radiates down the hips and thigh, leg pain, numbness and tingling, and balance or mobility issues.
Are You a Good Candidate for Spinal Decompression?
You are a good candidate for spinal decompression therapy if you are an adult in overall good health who has disc herniation, sciatica, a bone spur or growth on the spine, or age-related disc degeneration. You are not a good candidate for spinal decompression, and should ask our chiropractor about other herniated disc treatments, if you:
- Are currently pregnant
- Have broken vertebrae
- Have had spinal fusion surgery
- Have had failed back surgery
- Have an artificial disc or other spinal implant
- Have had multiple corrective surgeries with no recovery
