After a serious back injury, doctors may recommend spinal decompression surgery. Many people mistakenly think that this very invasive procedure is their only option. Medical doctors who are unaware of holistic therapy treatments may unknowingly perpetrate this belief.
However, other less invasive chiropractic treatment options do exists in Vancouver now for back injuries. Before you or someone you love agree to spinal decompression surgery, explore your other options. Only consider surgery after all other possible treatment options are fully explored.
Revolutionary new technology treats disc injury without surgery. Non-surgical spinal decompression uses FDA approved equipment to gently separate the vertebrae. Spinal decompression therapy uses distraction forces in a graduated manner. The distraction is offset by partial relaxation. Vertebrae separation occurs during the relaxation cycles.
Vancouver chiropractor Dr. Peter Ting pointed out that the separation of vertebrae creates negative pressure like a vacuum. While each treatment only moves the herniated disc a tiny bit, over a period of a few weeks the benefits become quite dramatic. With pressure off the nerve root, pain gradually goes away.
In addition to relieving pressure, the decompression therapy allows blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to return to the injured areas. With the proper nutrients returning to the area, the chances for self-healing increase.
Every person's body has the ability to self-heal. Examine a paper cut and you will the body in action. A healthy body will locate the cut and send blood to the area. This is why it becomes red and inflamed. The body sends the appropriate nutrients and cells to rebuild the cut area. The same goes for broken bones, colds, and other illnesses.
Your body can self-heal the spine if given the proper chance. Just as you take antibiotics to help your body fight off infection, you can undergo non-surgical spinal decompression to help your body heal the herniated disc.
Although, this article used herniated discs as an example, non-surgical spinal decompression treats more than herniated disc. It effectively treats pinched nerves, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease as well.
