Spinal Decompression & Pain Management

Alleviate neck pain and back pain with ease!

It’s 2am in the morning. You can’t sleep because you have a headache, your back is killing you and your neck hurts. If you can relate to this scenario and you are experiencing back pain or neck pain combined with a headache, you may want to look into receiving the San Antonio Spinal Decompression treatment from Dr. Phillips Chiropractic, Nutrition, and Wellness.

Before discussing the San Antonio Spinal Decompression treatment, you must understand where back pain and neck pain derive. Back pain or neck pain Can be caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, degenerative disc disease, or inflammation.

Back Pain

Back pain, neck pain, and headaches don’t appear out of the blue. Your back, like any other mechanism in the world, will breakdown over time if it is used in an improper matter repeatedly. In other words, you may have lifted something heavy one time, but that just happens to be the final event in a series of bad lifting events that made the pain more noticeable.

For example, your back is composed of a spinal cord, nerves, bones, discs and muscles. Think of a zipper. If one tooth is out of line, the zipper doesn’t function properly.  Now think of your spinal cord as the zipper, and the teeth of the zipper as your vertebras (bones).Your back will not function correctly if a vertebra is disturbed. The disc separates each vertebra from one another, while the nerve holds the discs and vertebra together. When the disc slips, it puts pressure on the nerve and causes pain. This pain can radiate into the legs or arms. Some patients do not feel pain, but they will feel numbness or a tingling sensation.

Pain Management

Chronic back pain or neck pain sufferers can benefit from spinal decompression, just like you car benefiting from a tune up.  The tune-up shop for pain management would be a chiropractor like Dr. Phillips' Chiropractic, Nutrition, and Wellness.

Why choose the San Antonio Spinal Decompression treatment?

How does Spinal Decompression work?

You are gently strapped to a table that reclines back, while a strap pulls on the belt around your waist or a cradle with a gentle pull on the neck. A computer controls the tension on the belt and movement of the table while directly targeting your pain area under the supervision of the chiropractor.
Spinal Decompression treatment simply moves the vertebrae apart, so the disc can fall back into place, releasing the pressure on the nerve.
