Bulging, Degenerated & Herniated Discs, Spinal Stenosis
Do you suffer from degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis or other spinal problems? Has your physician suggested you consider surgery? You may want to consider spinal decompression therapy first. Spinal decompression therapy has proven effective in treating degenerative discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, herniated discs and spinal stenosis. If you have already had surgery, spinal decompression therapy can still be considered if you suffer from failed back surgery syndrome.
Spinal discs do not get oxygen and fresh blood consistently. Decompression and motion can enhance healing by restoring the needed nutrients back into the discs. During therapy, you will go through phases of distraction and relaxation. Once the problem spinal disc is isolated it can be placed under pressure which creates a vacuum effect. The vacuum does two things. First, any portion of the disc that has herniated or protruded will return to where it should be. Second, the vacuum effect brings in a fresh blood supply which can promote healing.
Spinal decompression therapy typically takes up to 20 minutes to perform. Every case is unique and a customized treatment plan is recommended for each individual who is a candidate. Sometimes patients find pain relief within a few sessions. For those who are candidates and follow the recommended guidelines, spinal decompression has proven to be highly effective. Before you opt for surgery, explore the possibility of spinal decompression therapy.
A consultation and examination by Dr. Lawrence is the only way to determine if you are a candidate for spinal decompression therapy. Call 613-728-2929 to schedule your appointment.
