Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment option for certain types of back pain and neck
pain. It is also sometimes used to treat sciatica. Spinal decompression therapy works by gently
stretching the spine. This change in pressure and position takes the pressure off the spinal discs,
which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine. This can help relieve pain and
promote healing.

Spinal Decompression Effectively Treats Disc problems

Disc problems are one of the most common sources of back and neck pain. The discs act as
cushions between the vertebrae, and when they become damaged or degenerate, they can cause
pain, numbness, and weakness. Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that can
effectively treat disc problems by reducing the pressure on the discs.
Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. This creates negative pressure in the
discs, which allows them to heal and repair themselves. Spinal decompression has been shown
to be effective in treating herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and other disc-related
conditions.
If you are suffering from back or neck pain caused by a disc problem, spinal decompression may
be an effective treatment option for you. To find out if you are a candidate for this treatment,
please contact our office to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced Chris Edginton
at American Back Center.

Chronic Back Pain

Chronic back pain is one of the most common forms of pain. It can be caused by a number of
different factors, including muscle strain, joint problems, and disk degeneration. Chronic back pain
can be difficult to treat, but there are a number of options available.
One treatment option for chronic back pain is spinal decompression. Spinal decompression is a
non-surgical procedure that uses gentle traction to relieve pressure on the spine. This can help
to reduce pain and improve function.
Spinal decompression is typically done as an outpatient procedure, and most people tolerate it
well. There are a few potential side effects, such as headaches or dizziness, but these are usually
mild and resolve quickly.
If you are suffering from chronic back pain, spinal decompression may be a treatment option worth
considering. Talk to your doctor about whether this procedure is right for you.

Chronic Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain is one of the most common conditions treated by spinal decompression
therapy. Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for chronic neck pain
that uses traction to stretch and relieve pressure on the spine.
Spinal decompression therapy is often used to treat herniated discs, degenerative disc disease,
pinched nerves, and other conditions that can cause chronic neck pain. The goal of spinal
decompression therapy is to relieve pressure on the spine and nerves, which can help to reduce
pain and improve function.
Spinal decompression therapy is typically done as a series of sessions over a period of weeks or
months. During each session, you will lie on a table with your head and neck support while a
machine applies gentle traction to your spine.
Most people who undergo spinal decompression therapy report significant improvements in their
pain levels and function. If you are considering this treatment option for chronic neck pain, be sure
to consult with a Chicago Edginton at American Back center.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a term used to describe the symptoms of leg pain—and possibly tingling numbness
or weakness—that originate in the lower back and travel through the buttock and down the large
sciatic nerve in the back of each leg. Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone
spur on the spine, or narrowing of the spine compresses part of the nerve. This causes
inflammation and irritation that radiates out along the path of the nerve to cause pain in the legs.
