Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can occur due to a variety of causes. Some of these causes include:

• Poor posture
• Auto accidents
• Workplace injuries
• Sports injuries
• Herniated discs
• Muscle strain
• Obesity
• Scoliosis
• Osteoarthritis
• Pinched nerves

How Spinal Decompression Can Help Alleviate Back Pain

Spinal decompression therapy is commonly used to treat herniated discs, in addition to other injuries and conditions, such as back pain. It involves the patient lying on a specialized table with a harness fitted to them. This harness is connected to the lower segment of the decompression table.

As the patient lies on the table, the lower segment slowly moves and provides a thorough yet gentle stretch to the spinal column. The stretch creates space for each spinal component, which relieves tension and pain.

It also creates a suction that pulls any herniated disc into its proper place and take pressure off of the nerves. Along with that, it helps healing fluids and nutrients flow to the spinal column to help you heal. Spinal decompression is typically used in conjunction with other treatments, such as spinal adjustments and soft tissue techniques to eliminate back pain. Once we determine the root cause of your discomfort, we can determine which treatments would be most suited for you.
