Do you know that spinal cord is one of the most vital parts of the musculoskeletal system? Yes, it’s a fact indeed and an unhealthy spine can result in spinal disorders and in chronic back pain. The lumbar area, which is commonly referred to as the lower back, is a significant structure in the human anatomy, which provides the structural support and protection of certain tissues. So when the lower back gets injured owing to disease or accident a number of bodily functions also get affected. And the daunting fact is lower back pain can happen at any age, but mostly it is common to those beyond age 40.
As a matter of fact a safe, non surgical and a painless treatment was much required to treat chronic lower back pain and this is exactly when the chiropractic non-surgical Spinal Decompression treatment offered an answer to the prayer of the millions suffering from severe , chronic and painful condition. Today, Spinal Decompression stands as one of the most widely accepted medical treatments for back pain. Now, chiropractors are choosing non surgical spinal decompression as a long-lasting, hundred percent safe, cost-effective and a non-invasive means of treating lower back pain.
Spinal decompression at Lake Forest has been effective in treating back pain and is more reliable than the traditional surgical procedure or than any other pain medication. The Spinal decompression treatment at Academy Chiro employs the ‘Spinal Aid decompression table’ in applying the forces needed to decompress the injured discs and vertebrae. This cutting edge mechanism involves the repeated and continuous cycle of relaxing and stretching of the spine to help it separate from the bone and to support it in forming negative pressure inside the injured discs. In fact the vacuum which is made owing to the negative pressure also helps in the flow of the oxygen and nutrients to the injured discs, thereby revitalizing homeostasis and quickening the healing process. Following the decompression treatment, the Chiropractors place an ice pack on the lower back to cool the area back down and also to minimize inflammation (if any).
Spinal decompression at Academy Chiro is thus a pleasant, painless and relaxing experience, which works for most of the patients. But, not everyone is the ideal candidate for decompression treatment. And if there is severe osteoporosis, a tumor, or there has been a prior surgery where there are metallic screws or implants, decompression treatment is not available.
