Low back pain, Chiropractic and Lumbar Decompression

Low back pain affects millions of people each year and can affect your entire life.  There are many treatments for low back pain and many people will see some type of back doctor for their low back pain. Drugs and surgery can help low back pain and sciatica, although these procedures can also have severe side effects.

Chiropractors are a type of back doctor that can offer pain relief and solutions to back pain without the risk of drugs and surgery.  One of the ways low back pain is treated at Advanced Chiropractic is with a type of therapy called Lumbar Decompression or lumbar distraction.

This therapy works by distracting out the lumbar vertebra (low back).  This will take pressure off the disc of the spine.  The discs are soft tissue spacers between each one of your vertebra.  By taking pressure off the disc we can relive pain and pressure in the area and take pressure off the nerves that exit between the vertebras.  The decompression can also help take pressure off the joints of the lumbar spine and this also can help decrease the pain the low back and also relieve sciatica type pain.

Lumbar Decompression is a very safe way of treating low back pain.  Coupled with spinal manipulation and home exercise directed by a Chiropractor you could be on your way back to the life you want soon.
