Chronic Low Back Pain…Is Spinal Decompression the Answer?

If you suffer from chronic low back pain like many people,
you may have tried several different treatments designed to
deal with the pain.

An important thing to understand is that in the majority of
cases the spinal discs are to blame. Research shows that the
disc is the most common cause of back pain followed by the
facet joints and the SI joint.

Many people who experience low back pain can’t recall what
they did to hurt themselves. This is because the disc is
only pain sensitive in the outer 1/3. So as the inner
portion of the disc migrates outwards no pain is felt, until
the outer pain sensitive zone is contacted. Then pain can
come on very quickly and seemingly without cause.

The disc begins a degenerative process after micro trauma
has weakened the outer fibers. This occurs primarily because
of the lack of a direct blood supply to the disc. The disc
relies on a fluid exchange that occurs with motion from the
blood supply in the bones above and below the disc. Once
damage has occurred however, the disc begins to weaken as it
dries out and becomes more brittle.

Recent research also show that once a disc becomes
degenerative it’s lack of hydration actually allows an
infiltration of pain sensitive nerves. So once the disc is
painful, the entire disc becomes pain sensitive.

The most common treatments for low back pain don’t address
this issue. Only one actually increases the amount of
hydration into the disc and that is spinal decompression.
This treatment accelerates the amount of hydration that goes
into the disc so that the disc can regenerate.

Muscle contraction response is a common problem when
applying any type of traction force to the spine, however
the technology known as spinal decompression therapy has a patented
computer technology that allows it to overcome contraction
of these muscles in real time. This allows a true spinal
decompression effect to take place.

The benefits of spinal decompression are very effective for
disc health. First the negative pressure created helps to
draw in any bulging or herniated material that my be
compressing or irritating the nerves and secondly it
actively creates a fluid exchange bringing in fresh oxygen
and nutrition into the disc so it can heal.

By treating the primary source of the patients back pain
the patient has a much higher likelihood of a long term
recovery. Unlike most other treatment that are symptom
based.

If you suffer from low back pain and have tried other
treatments that have not worked for you, spinal
decompression can offer you a valuable treatment option that
can last. personal development course
