Spinal decompression is a term that describes the relief of pressure on one or many pinched nerves (neural impingement) of the spinal column.

Spinal decompression can be achieved both surgically and non-surgically and is used to treat conditions that result in chronic back pain such as disc bulge, disc herniation, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and isthmic and degenerative spondylolisthesis.

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for certain types of chronic back pain. Mechanical decompression works by slowly and gently stretching the spine, taking pressure off compressed discs and vertebrae. Vertebral decompression is one of the most exciting medical treatments developed in many years, since it demonstrates good statistical results for long term pain relief.

The ProAdjuster

Imagine thirty to forty years ago, if we told you that dentistry would be painless, that doctors would watch television to perform surgeries, that brain surgery for tumors could be done with a laser, that fetuses could be operated on within the uterus, that knife-less surgery could be performed- you would not have believed us. By the same token, would you believe us if we told you that Chiropractic treatments and reorientation of the nervous system could be done comfortably, while you were sitting in an upright position without any turning or sudden movements? Would you believe that newborns as well as the elderly with osteoporosis can be treated safely and gently?     Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with Chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized. The potential for the human being to end pain and to achieve their peak nervous system function has never been greater. Humans are consistently asking their bodies to perform at higher levels. Now we have the techniques and the technology to match the demand placed on the spine and the nervous system. We now have the capability to fine tune our own energy and enhance every aspect of our lives.

How does it work?

To better understand, let's examine the idea of palpation. When a Chiropractor palpates your spine, they are checking for joint fluidity, motion and or rigidity. Improper motion effecting the nerve function is called a subluxation. In a similar fashion to palpation, the ProAdjuster can determine whether the vertebra's motion is too rigid or too fluid. The spine should not be too rigid (hypo-mobile). However, instead of utilizing the doctor's judgment as to what areas are hyper-mobile or hypo-mobile, the ProAdjuster measures precise levels of motion. Therefore, the ProAdjuster can isolate a problem area faster and more accurately than manual procedures.

Chiropractic is a health care approach and profession that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. Under the hypothesis that these disorders affect general health via the nervous system. The main treatment involves manual therapy including manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissue. Treatment also includes exercises, health and lifestyle counseling. Traditionally, chiropractic assumes that a spinal joint dysfunction interferes with the body's function and its innate intelligence

As a Car Accident Injury Chiropractor,  I've dealt with numerous insurance company adjustors and attorneys. My advice is if you think you've been injured and you want the car insurance company to pay for your losses (pain and damages) go see the medical doctor first, and then go see the chiropractor. The reason is that insurance company’s use computer software to evaluate claims for possible payment (settlement) and medical doctors score higher in point values than chiropractic doctors, for whatever reason.
If you could care less about settlements, personal injury car accident attorneys or lawyers, or car insurance adjustors and you just want to treat the true cause of the injury and get back to enjoying life again pain free...get into the chiropractor right away.

Chiropractic care is the best choice for treating soft tissue injuries that can cause neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, and low back pain.

Chiropractic treatment refers to the practice of spinal manipulation to alleviate or cure back pain. Chiropractic treatment is recommended when accidents, falls, tension or over-exertion causes the vertebrae to displace or shift.

Chronic back or neck pain results if the displaced or shifted disc irritates the spinal nerves. Sometimes this pain is felt directly and at other times during reflexive movements. The intention of chiropractic manipulative therapy is to realign vertebrae and establish normal spinal mobility, which in turn alleviates the irritation to the spinal nerve.

The main symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, or CTS, include pain and tingling sensation in the fingers, wrists, and hands. Patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome also experience numbness in the fingers and finger tips, generally all four fingers of each arm, with an exception of the little finger, mainly because a different nerve is responsible for sensation in the little finger.

CTS is caused due to nerve pinching or impingement caused due to repetitive actions of the wrist, fingers, and arms. CTS results in swelling around the tendons in the carpal tunnel region which is responsible for the pain, numbness, and tingling sensation in the fingers, wrists, and arms.

Carpal tunnel chiropractic treatment involves maneuvering and manipulating the wrists, arms, elbows and upper region of the spinal cord to release the nerve impingement.

Chiropractic therapy could also involve ultrasound therapy and providing wrist supports to patients.

Chiropractic treatment in patients suffering from CTS helps restore full range of motion in the arms, improved finger sensation, nerve sensation, and provides relief from pain, numbness, and tingling sensation after repeated sessions ranging for about six months.

Is the pain of fibromyalgia getting you down? Are you having trouble dealing with persistent backaches, leg cramps, and foot pain? If so, then chiropractic care may be just the thing for you. Chiropractic care is becoming increasingly popular among fibromyalgia sufferers because of the pain and stress relief that it offers. It can often provide relief in short periods of time and help you to get back to enjoying life fast.

Recently, fibromyalgia patients have been seeking chiropractic care increasingly often. Because fibromyalgia causes numerous tender points all over the body, many fibromyalgia patients suffer from back pain, neck pain, and leg cramps. In an attempt to solve these problems, many sufferers have looked to chiropractors. Because simple adjustments to the neck and spine can restore the carriage of the whole body, a lot of fibromyalgia sufferers find that alignments of the spine can significantly reduce pain all over their bodies.

One third of Americans suffer from tension headaches. These headaches can be felt on both sides of the head as a dull, steady pain that often becomes intense at the end of the day. Unfortunately, traditional medicine has little to offer chronic headache sufferers. Pain medicine and muscle relaxants will ease the pain. Stress reduction, relaxation and exercise can improve wellness and perhaps prevent the occurrence of the headache.
Recent studies have suggested, that chiropractic treatments can decrease the frequency and length of headaches as well as the number of painkillers needed for relief.

The term pinched nerve of the back implies that the nerve that travels between the back vertebrae has been compressed.  When a nerve is compressed, it may cause symptoms of numbness, tingling, burning and achy soreness along the nerve path.  There are many possibilities of how a nerve compression can occur.  One of the more frequently encountered explanations is when a nerve gets compressed through improper closure of the space where a canal lies between the vertebrae. While this canal usually will allow enough room for the nerve to pass through, situations such as bone spurs or degenerated discs will create this problem.  This problem is also know as spinal canal stenosis and is usually on one side only.

Chiropractic care helps increase the flexibility of the soft tissue of the spine and reduces the pressure that occurs from any restricted and minor misalignments of individual vertebral joint segments.  This in turn helps to eliminate any nerve interference created from the dysfunctional area.  This can be achieved by breaking down scar tissue through techniques which adjust the spine,  re-aligning the attached vertebrae, as well as performing release techniques to the fibrous portion of the soft tissue.

Back pain, muscle aches, and cramping can all be symptoms of stress on a woman’s musculoskeletal system due to Pregnancy. Studies have shown that 50% of expecting mothers will develop low back pain at some point during their pregnancy. This is can be a result of the baby’s head being pressed down on a woman’s back, buttocks and legs during the later stages of pregnancy.

Chiropractic care makes it much safer than dealing with prescription and over the counter drugs that can be in-effective and unsafe. Studies have shown that there is no risk involved for either the mother or the unborn fetus when a trained chiropractor does spinal manipulation.

Sciatica, often viewed to be a disease is actually a symptom of a compressed sciatic nerve. This Nerve could become agitated by an auto-accident, old age, trauma or even strangulation by the piriformis muscle. This in turn causes a strong pain that can originate in the lower back all the way down to your toes.

The chiropractic technique involves a manual adjustment of the spine. The process is carried out by chiropractic practitioners who apply pressure in varying degrees to decompress the sciatic nerve. At the same time the aim of the chiropractic specialist is to adjust the partial dislocation of joints and organs to restore them to their correct position.

Scoliosis (from Greek: meaning "crooked") is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side, shaped like a "s", and may also be rotated. To adults it can be very painful. It is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. On an x-ray, the spine of an individual with a typical scoliosis may look more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line.

Stress can be brought on by a number of different factors. It could be a chemical inbalance, lack of physical activity or just simply having a "not so happy attitude." By implementing a chiropractic schedule for any amount of time has shown to dramatically reduce stress levels. If you have properly aligned spinal vertebrae, then the spinal cord can communicate more efficiently with the rest of your body.
