What are Spinal Disc Issues?
Spinal disc issues encompass a spectrum of conditions affecting the discs positioned between the spine’s vertebrae. These discs serve as shock absorbers and allow for flexibility and movement in the spine. Among the common disc issues are herniated discs, where the inner gel-like material protrudes through the tough outer layer, potentially compressing nearby nerves and causing pain or weakness in the extremities.
Common spinal conditions include bulging discs and degenerative disc disease. Bulging discs occur when the disc’s outer layer extends beyond its usual boundary, potentially compressing nearby nerves and causing discomfort. Degenerative disc disease is characterized by the gradual deterioration of spinal discs over time. This condition leads to diminished cushioning between the vertebrae, contributing to stiffness and chronic pain in the affected area.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal Decompression involves an advanced device that gently stretches the spine in a controlled manner. This process widens the spaces between the vertebrae, facilitating the return of herniated discs to their normal position. The spaces create negative pressure within the spinal discs, which helps alleviate pressure on compressed nerves and promotes the movement of nutrients, oxygen, and fluids into the discs.
Patients lie on a specialized table or device that applies traction or decompressive forces to the spine, guided by our trained healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness. The device is designed to target specific areas of the spine, either cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back).
Common Spinal Decompression Applications
What to Expect During a Spinal Decompression Session
Spinal decompression well tolerated by many of our Calgary patients. During the session, you may feel a gentle stretch or traction in your spine, which is designed to alleviate pressure and promote healing. Some patients might experience tenderness in the area which quickly resolves.
Many patients report a noticeable decrease in their pain after only a single session, but optimal results may require several repeated sessions. Spinal Decompression is often combined with other therapies at our Calgary Clinic such as chiropractic care and physiotherapy. When used together, these treatments strengthen the spine to prevent future damage and effectively reduce pain caused by herniated or bulging discs.
