Spine Decompression Therapy
No matter how severe your lower back disc problem may appear, experts at Dr. Spine Clinic can often bring relief using spine decompression therapy with the help of a spine decompression machine. This table was specially designed for chiropractors to use on patients with moderate-to-severe disc-related problems.
The doctor can apply manual traction to the lower back or thoracic disc areas without danger of more injury to the spine, and to decrease pain and discomfort. This spine decompression treatment is usually done in conjunction with other pain reduction modalities such as electrical TNS units (trans-cutaneous nerve stimulation), ice, or ultrasound.
The effects can often be dramatic. Such treatments have often helped patients avoid expensive and intrusive low back surgery that otherwise would have been their only option.
There are also gentle chiropractic manual adjustments that are done without needing the special lumbar decompression machine called Cox table. These “side posture” movements are designed to decompress the pelvis and spine in patients whose cases are deemed less chronic or severe. Manual adjustments are quick, easy, mostly painless, and can correct most problems not associated with advanced disc problems, age or degeneration, such as constant sciatic pain.
