Spinal decompression in covington la:

Through cycles of stretch and relaxation, decompression unloads the disc (gel-like cushions) which improves positioning, blood flow, and important nutrient exchange to the injured area.

What patients benefit from the most?

Patients that benefit most from true non-surgical spinal decompression may be those diagnosed with herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, radiculopathy, degenerative disc disease or facet syndrome.

how does the disc heal?

Decompression helps bulging or herniated discs to retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This promotes movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.

WHY HAS IT BEEN SHOWN TO HELP DISC ISSUES?

Traction of the disc creates negative pressure - a vacuum - in the disc which allows the body to reabsorb much or all of the bulging or herniated disc material.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO GET BETTER?

Every case is special and your plan will be based on your specific needs and health goals. You can trust you are in the right place!
