Spinal Decompression Through Las Vegas Chiropractic

By Allan Bigarda


What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is when the spinal disc is not in alignment with the other vertebrae. As a result, it presses on the nerve that run through the spine center. The misalignment could be because of a herniated or bulging disc. A herniated disc is very painful and this pain is ongoing. You could suffer every day with back pain in varying degrees. The pain could radiate down the legs, and lead to sciatica.

Realigning the spine takes pressure off the nerve and eliminates chronic back pain. One of the ways to correct this issue is traction. This previously-explained spinal decompression therapy is often effective on a bulging or herniated disc and helps with avoiding having surgery.
