Spinal Decompression in Parker CO

If you suffer from arm, leg, neck, or pain in Parker CO, with or without other symptoms such as tingling, numbness, or muscle problems, you may be suffering the effects of a compressed spinal column. These symptoms can wreck your quality of life and may even have you pondering surgery. Fortunately, spinal decompression therapy in Parker CO can relieve your pain without surgery and we offer this new, advanced form of natural treatment at Advanced Chiropractic Clinic.

What Is Spinal Decompression in Parker CO?

The gelatinous discs that cushion the vertebrae normally contain significant amounts of water and other nutrients to help them maintain their height and health. As you age, however, the discs can slowly flatten out. This compression can put a great deal of painful stress on the facet joints that connect and articulate the vertebrae. The flattened discs may either bulge out of their normal position within the spinal column, or a portion of the disc may herniate so that some of the inner material sticks out. Disc-related nerve impingement may also be caused by traumatic injuries.

Since the discs are already so close to major nerve roots, it's all too easy for them to pinch the sensitive tissue, resulting in:

• Low back pain - Arthritic spinal joints and pinched lumbar nerve roots can leave you with debilitating low back pain.
• Sciatica - The sciatic nerve serves the entire leg, so an impingement can cause pain, balance problems, and other symptoms.
• Neck pain - Cervical spinal stenosis, facet joint pain due to flattened discs, or a herniated cervical disc can cause chronic neck pain and stiffness.
• Pain in the upper or lower extremities - A nerve root impingement can refer to pain along the attached nerve branches to whichever arm or leg they convey signals to.
• Tingling, numbness, and/or muscle weakness - Disruption or normal nerve signaling can create a "pins and needles" sensation or even loss of sensation; motor signal disruption can cause muscle atrophy from disuse.

Spinal Decompression from Our Chiropractor

Our office provides spinal decompression therapy treatment as a safe, gentle, non-invasive alternative to major surgery. As you lie comfortably on our special mechanized table, our experts direct the table to apply a tiny but significant amount of distraction force on the spinal column. The distraction force creates a vacuum, or negative pressure, that literally sucks discs back into place while also filling them with nutrient-rich water. This helps to restore spinal height and allow the discs to heal any damage they've sustained -- and it also takes the pressure off of your nerve tissue. Over the course of several spinal decompression therapy treatment sessions, you can experience dramatic, long-lasting symptom relief.
