Are you suffering from pain related to herniated discs? In addition to inciting uncomfortable symptoms, herniated discs can also lead to a decrease in your overall mobility and functionality. 

At Arkansas Physical Health & Rehab in Fayetteville, AR, our professional spinal decompression treatments are the perfect solution for your herniated disc pain. 

What is a herniated disc? 

A herniated disc is formed when the gel-like center of a spinal vertebrae pushes through a tear or rupture in the outer layer. This protrusion can apply excessive pressure to the nerves in your spinal column, leading to pain, inflammation, numbness, and sciatica (pain that shoots down the backs of the legs). Herniated discs can be caused by many conditions, including auto or sports injuries, degenerative disc disease, and physically demanding jobs. Herniated disc pain is often a chronic condition, and patients require professional treatment in order to properly heal. 

How does spinal decompression work?

Spinal decompression, or disc correction therapy, is a noninvasive medical technique that our experienced chiropractors use to treat herniated disc pain. A session involves stretching the spine using a Chattanooga Triton motorized traction table. The procedure relieves the pressure on your affected discs, allowing them to revert back to their proper shape. Spinal decompression is gentle, safe, and completely drug-free. 

With regular chiropractic care and professional treatment, spinal decompression can resolve, and even eradicate, your herniated disc pain. Your treatment plan may also include supplementary modalities like acupuncture and physical rehabilitation. 

What are the benefits of spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression has many benefits for patients suffering from herniated disc pain. The procedure is all-natural and non-invasive, as opposed to many surgeries that require physical or muscular trauma. There is also no post-appointment downtime - in fact,  most spinal decompression patients are able to return to their regular activities right away. Spinal decompression is also totally drug-free and requires no prescription medications or over-the-counter pain relievers.
