Spinal Decompression Westchester

Your spine is incredibly strong, bearing the burden of your body weight throughout your lifetime. It is flexible as well, making it possible for you to move in so many ways. It consists of an intricate system of vertebrae, or bones, and discs. The discs provide a cushion between each vertebrae. Your spinal nerves run down the center of your vertebrae. When everything is healthy and strong, your back will do wonders for you. However, it only takes a problem with one disc to throw everything off. If your discs fail to offer your vertebrae the cushion that they need, the bones can rub together. This can be extremely painful. Pressure can be placed on your nerves, causing numbness, tingling, and more pain. Loss of flexibility and mobility is possible. When you search “spinal decompression near me,” and find us, we can effectively target the source of your pain.

Finding the right treatment options for back pain may take time. After an initial evaluation, your doctor may recommend exercise, physical therapy sessions, steroid injections, anti-inflammatory medication, and a back brace. These treatment options may provide temporary relief, but none of them are focusing on why you are having back pain. They may help you to cope with your pain or mask your pain. You want to resolve the problem that is causing your discomfort. If you are dealing with pain that is caused by pressure applied to your spinal discs, our spinal decompression chiropractor at Advanced Chiropractic Spine & Sports Medicine is here to help you.

When you seek spinal decompression near me at Advanced Chiropractic Spine & Sports Medicine, you will be carefully evaluated to ensure this treatment method is the right option for you. Once our chiropractor has pinpointed pressure on your discs as the source of your back pain, you can begin spinal decompression. You will have a harness that is fitted around the trunk of your body. Another harness will be used on your pelvis. You will need to lie down on a special table for your treatments. Our chiropractor may ask you to lie down on your back or your stomach. The table is controlled by a computer. Sections of the table will move as your chiropractor targets areas where your vertebrae need to gently shift in order to relieve pressure on your discs, as well as the bones of your spine. When the pressure is taken off of targeted areas of your spine, relief can finally be yours. Sessions typically last a half hour to 45 minutes. Patients benefit most from a series of daily sessions over the course of several weeks. It may take at least six weeks before your spinal decompression treatments are complete.
