Spinal Decompression

At Dr. Phillips Chiropractic Nutrition and Wellness in San Antonio, we offer spinal decompression and other chiropractic techniques that are safe and effective for treating different types of back pain. Back pain can be caused by poor lifting techniques, older or new injuries, or chronic conditions that were not given an opportunity to heal properly. Uncovering and treating the cause of your pain will give your body a chance to heal and gradually eliminate your symptoms.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression involves relieving pressure on disc and the soft tissues of the spine. When a spinal injury occurs, the disc can be damaged and cause a disc herniation. This can cause pain and limited ranges of motion. During spinal decompression, we separate these bones by gently stretching the spine to help decompress the spine and take pressure off the nerve. Spinal decompression also increases blood flow to injured areas of the spine, which allows the healing process to begin. When used with other chiropractic care options, our chiropractor can begin to treat the original cause of your pain so your symptoms can gradually start to fade away.

Conditions that Benefit from Spinal Decompression

There are several conditions that can eventually lead to chronic back pain. Sciatica, a herniated disk, slip and falls, and auto accidents are all common. Many people injure their backs and don't realize the damage they have done until it's too late. Chronic back pain can be debilitating and cause you to limit your activities. Our chiropractor can treat these conditions and restore your mobility and quality of life. At the first sign of back pain, schedule an appointment with our chiropractor!

Chiropractic Care Treatment Options

Chiropractic adjustments, proper diet, massage, and physical therapy all can play a role in optimizing the healing process. Regular visits to our chiropractor will ensure you receive the care you may need to make your recovery as quick as possible. It's essential for the body to stay in its natural alignment if an injury or illness is going to heal properly. Follow your chiropractor's instructions and your back pain can begin to disappear.
