Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy:

Effective Care for Lower Back Pain
 spines    

 
   









       Low back pain is an American epidemic.  One-half of working Americans report having at least one episode of low back pain each year.  In-fact, it is the most common reason for missing work and is the second most common reason for visiting your doctor's office. 

The most common causes of mechanical low back pain include:
 
disc herniations
degenerative disc and joint disease
facet syndrome
strain/sprains
misalignments of the spinal joints 
    
       Non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical therapies such as chiropractic care are aimed at restoring motion and stability to the spine through gentle manipulations and therapeutic exercises.   Although very effective, a complement to this is a new form of non-invasive therapy termed non-surgical spinal decompression therapy.  This form of therapy has been gaining notoriety over the last decade in response to a large patient demand for conservative alternatives to low back surgical procedures.

What is non-surgical spinal decompression therapy (NSSDT) and what is it used for?
 

       Well, NSSDT is an FDA approved revolutionary new technology used to treat low back and neck pain targeting three distinct regions; the discs, the facet joints, and the soft tissue around the spine (ligaments and tendons).  The concept behind NSSDT involves gently reducing the pressure within the spinal discs.  The vertebrae are slowly and methodically separated utilizing a spinal decompression unit (such as a DTS) creating a "vacuum" or negative pressure within the disc.  This "vacuum" sucks the gelatinous center of the disc, termed the nucleus pulposus, back in. 
       This subsequently reduces the bulge or herniation and reduces pressure on the nerve root.  It also helps to allow for the diffusion of essential oxygen, nutrients, and fluids back into the disc which are usually lost after the age of twenty five due to a collapse of the local vascular system.  These events only occur microscopically with each session of spinal decompression therapy but cumulatively the results can be quite dramatic.

Question of the Month


What training does a Chiropractic Neurologist receive?




2condexray


The chiropractic neurologist must complete a specific three-year, 300 hour post-graduate fellowship in the field of neurology. This is the same level of training that the medical neurologists receive with much more emphasis on neurophysiology and functional rehabilitation.

In addition, subsequent written, practicum, and oral examinations conducted by the American Chiropractic Neurology Board must be passed to attain active licensure. The ACNB is recognized by the American Chiropractic Association Council on Neurology and is fully accredited by the National Commission for Certification Agencies (NCCA), the accreditation body of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA).

All this training is in addition to the basic four-year doctorate training and subsequent passing of National and State Board examinations that all general chiropractors must pass to practice. As you can see, Chiropractic Neurologists receive rigorous training and are ready to serve all your healthcare needs.

Lemon: the Ultimate Superfood



   lemons                             The conventional Western diet, rich in sugar, grain products, and processed foods affects our pH balance and can leave the body acidic - to an extent that viruses, bacteria, are able to take up residence.  Your immune system works optimally at an intermediate pH, and can't combat viruses on "their own turf," at an acidic pH.
     Certain foods can help us restore balance and bring our pH in a more alkali direction. One of these foods is the lemon. Despite its acidic nature, the impact it has on the body once ingested is to increase the alkali balance, bringing us into better health and restoring your immune system's ability to function.
