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.

Introduction

Numbness in the legs can be caused by an underlying medical condition or from a pinched nerve. Sciatica is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve and is often accompanied by pain and other symptoms, such as muscle spasms. Degenerative disc disease causes back pain from herniated discs in the spine. Muscle spasms in the leg may also cause numbness, especially if there is a pinched nerve.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a pain that runs along the sciatic nerve, which runs from your low back down to your foot. The pain may be sharp or burning and feel like an electrical shock when you move. It may radiate down into one leg, causing it to feel numb or weak. Sciatica can also cause an intense deep ache that gets worse when sitting or standing for long periods of time.

What Causes Degenerative disc disease?

Degenerative disc disease is a common condition that causes pain, numbness and tingling in the lower back and legs. Degenerative disc disease occurs when the discs between the vertebrae in your spine begin to break down, causing them to become less flexible. As a result, there is less space between each vertebrae and this puts stress on surrounding ligaments, tendons and nerves. This can lead to pain or discomfort anywhere from your low back to your buttocks or legs depending on where the affected disc is located.

Muscle spasms

Muscle spasms are common among people who have MS. This is because stress, including physical injuries or over-exercising, can trigger muscle spasms. Your doctor may prescribe a muscle relaxant for you if your legs begin to feel numb and tingly.

• A muscle spasm is an involuntary contraction of a group of muscles that lasts from several seconds to several minutes. It most commonly affects the neck and back but can happen anywhere in the body.
• There are many potential causes of muscle spasms, including stress (either mental or physical), injury, excess caffeine intake and alcohol consumption.

Numbness in the legs may be caused by an underlying medical condition or from a pinched nerve.

Numbness in the legs may be caused by an underlying medical condition, like a pinched nerve, or from a bulging disc or degenerative disc disease. Numbness can also be caused by kidney disease and sciatica. When you have numbness in your legs, there are three main things that could be causing it:

• A pinched nerve in the back is one of the most common causes of pain and numbness in your low back and buttocks area (called lumbar spine).
• Bulging discs are often called herniated discs because they protrude into neighboring spaces between vertebrae. These can press on nerves that travel down both sides of your spine (called sciatica).
• Back muscle spasms around a nerve root cause inflammation which can cause symptoms similar to those associated with other types of spinal problems such as arthritis or stenosis (narrowing) of an intervertebral space due to bone growths called osteophytes forming around joints where bones meet each other at joints such as those found within our spine.

Conclusion

In most cases, numbness in the legs can be treated with physical therapy or medication. When you feel any sort of pain in your legs and feet, it’s important to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. If you have any questions about numbness in the legs, please contact one of our board-certified orthopedic surgeons today!
