Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression in Smyrna
While it’s true that many disc issues occur in the lower back, cervical (neck) disc issues are also a problem many people face. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is effective for these cervical disc problems. Helping you get relief without the need for drugs or surgery is our goal at Mustard Seed Chiropractic.
Our Approach
We use the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression table and technique to provide gentle, safe non-surgical spinal decompression. This technique is performed on a specialized table that has moving pieces, which allow us to create separation between different spinal segments—we’re creating space between the vertebrae through gentle traction. This can help to increase disc height, restore spinal joints to proper alignment and take pressure off of the spine. The result can be reduction or elimination of pain, improved range of motion and greater spinal stability.
It is a non-invasive, type of mechanical traction that utilizes computer technology to gently pull the spine apart taking pressure off the discs, joints, and nerves. It has a built-in feedback sensor that can detect each patient’s tolerance, pain levels, and muscular tension, so it knows when to pull more and when to relax in order to achieve optimal results.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is an affordable and safe treatment for neck and back conditions without the use of drugs, needles, or surgery.
Spinal Decompression Treatment in Smyrna
Prior to beginning a series of Spinal Decompression, patients will be thoroughly examined, and often digital x-rays will be taken. This information helps us to understand the underlying condition of the spine, which spinal discs are compressed, and which treatment protocol will give us the best results.
Most often spinal decompression will be combined with chiropractic adjustments, which together, addresses both the spinal misalignment along with the disc health and nerve pressure. This two-prong approach provides the fastest and longest lasting results and is the best conservative protocol you can possibly do to get the spine in as best shape possible.
While each patients’ condition varies, the standard initial protocol for Decompression Therapy is 24 sessions over 8-12 weeks. Some conditions will require more visits, more frequently; while other conditions require more frequent visits initially then decrease in frequency over time. Each treatment lasts approximately 12 minutes.
On each visit, the patient remains clothed and lies face up comfortably on a motorized table. There is a harness that secures the patient to the decompression table as a pulling type force is applied gently to the spine. There is a series of alternating decompression and relaxation cycles, for an individual treatment time of approximately 12 minutes. The patient typically does not feel pain during or after the decompression visit, although they can feel stretching and lengthening of the spine. Help increase the movement of other nutrient-rich fluids, water, and oxygen into the discs to promote healing.
A Conservative Approach
Many people believe that the only solution for disc injuries is surgery, but that is not always the case. We encourage people to consider a conservative approach such as Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression first—it may prevent the need for surgery completely.
