Spinal Decompression
Are you looking for spinal decompression in Evergreen? You don't have to live in debilitating pain. Whether you have lower back pain, a pinched nerve, sciatica, radiating pain into the arms or legs, neck pain, or a variety of symptoms related to damaged or degenerative discs, spinal stenosis and post-operative complications, as well as syndromes of the lumbar and cervical spine. Decompression may be for you.
Spinal Decompression in Evergreen CO
The procedure is gentle and can provide back, neck, and nerve pain relief. Health and Harmony Chiropractic and Wellness Center has two new decompression tables that provide non-surgical treatment for bulging discs, herniated disks, and degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions.
The decompression tables are calibrated to provide distractive forces to open and unload the disc at the problem level in your spine. The decompression unloads the disc, opens the joint space, and relieves pressure off of the exiting nerve. You'll experience several cycles of full decompression followed by partial relaxation of the joint. This repetition aids in establishing proper positioning of the spine, improving blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area, and relieving the nerve.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
Therapy sessions typically last 20-25 minutes. Most patients begin feeling pain relief early on with increased relief following repeated treatments.
A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons, and muscles is part of spinal decompression. Adjustments, corrective care exercises, and adjunctive therapies such as Rapid Release and EPAT can assist in rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc but to enhance the support of the back and neck.
Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence.
Frequently Asked Questions
The decompression table can focus on discs in the lumbar and cervical spine. We are able to reach discs in the upper and lower thoracic spine too.
Decompression is based on a patient's bodyweight and their specific subluxations. We are able to angulate the table to target a specific disc level. The amount of decompression force, the duration of the decompression and ramp up and down are programmed according to a patient's condition. Lumbar decompression targets the discs between T12-Sacrum. Cervical decompression is between C1 and T1.
Unlike an inversion table or another type of traction device, decompression is more specific to a patient's condition. Inversion tables can cause more harm than good in acute disc issues. They can be difficult to get on and off. The decompression table is a safe treatment that allows us to control the amount of decompression and patient position.
Sean's Decompression Sciatic Success Story
We are finding that patients who have nerve root compression are reclaiming their quality of life faster. Our patient, Sean, had severe sciatic pain. He went from having a hard time putting his shoes on to being back on the golf course. Here is his story.
I live a very active lifestyle, but for the past 6-7 months have been unable to do much at all. I could barely walk at times. Physical therapy was not helping.
I finally visited Dr. Steinle and he noticed degenerated vertebrae damage from a skiing accident likely 10 years prior. After a few treatments, I was immediately relieved 70-80% of all pain. Two months later I'm back to my active lifestyle. Recently I shot a round of 76 on the golf course. I expect to be at 95% with continued treatment in the coming weeks.
