Spinal Decompression For Herniated Discs and Arthritis of the Spine
A herniated disc due to a pinched nerve in the back can cause lower back pain and sciatica. When these symptoms prevent you from working, sleeping, and enjoying your hobbies, you should visit our League City, TX chiropractor for treatment. If you have been Googling, “why do I have lower back pain?” see how spinal decompression can treat herniated discs and arthritis of the spine.
What is a Herniated Disc?
Your spinal column is made up of discs that sit in between the vertebrae of your spine. If one of these discs is injured, the harder exterior of the disc might crack or rupture. This can force the soft center of the disc to slip out of the opening.
What is Arthritis of the Spine?
Arthritis of the spine is caused by an inflammation of the joints in the spine, or of the joints in between the spine and pelvis. It can be caused by normal wear and tear, infection, a medical condition, or an autoimmune disease. Symptoms might include lower back pain, weakness, numbness in the legs, swelling, stiffness, and trouble moving.
How Will Spinal Decompression Therapy Help?
During spinal decompression therapy, you will lie on a comfortable, padded traction table. This table’s motor is controlled by our chiropractor using a computer program that contains your scans, measurements, and information about your symptoms. Our chiropractor will make the table tilt and bend so that it gently stretches your spine, muscles, limbs, and ligaments. As your spine is shifted back into alignment, this pushes herniated discs back into place and relieves pressure on your sciatic nerve. It can also ease symptoms like pain, inflammation, stiffness, numbness, weakness, and mobility issues.
When Should I Seek Treatment for Lower Back Pain?
You should visit our chiropractor if you have lower back pain; numbness or tingling; pain that radiates from your back down your hips, butt, leg, and foot; or muscle weakness; loss of balance; or mobility issues. If your symptoms are preventing you from going about your daily routine, visit our chiropractor right away.
