Decompression – The Chiropractic Way

Article Category: Medical Business

Author Name: Dr. Jon A. McCreery

There are many things that can cause spinal cord compression. It occurs generally because the spinal cord experiences a pressure directed against it. It can happen anywhere along the neck to the lower portion of the spine. The cause and location of the compression determine the development and appearance of the signs and symptoms. Its symptoms include numbness, abnormalities in or absence of reflexes, pain and weakness. Treatment may include simple mechanical methods to major surgical procedures.

To confirm the presence of this condition, one should undergo some diagnostic tests. After a complete physical examination, the doctor might opt to have the patient go through a series of x-ray tests on the spine or a CT scan. These will provide an image of the spinal cord and the possible growths that might be putting pressure on the spinal nerves.

In order to prevent spinal cord compression from happening, one should carry out a routine physical activity. Regular exercise will make the muscles supporting the back strong and the spine more flexible. One should also keep proper posture and good stance. Apply proper body mechanics especially in lying, sitting, standing and lifting heavy objects. Maintaining the appropriate body weight will also help. This will prevent excess load from straining the back that might contribute to the development of spinal compression.

However, if this condition is not avoided , several options are open as to the type of treatment of spinal cord compression. Some of the proven techniques in its management are the use of medications, physical therapy, surgical treatments and alternative ways like acupuncture and chiropractic care. This article shall focus on the decompression technique used by chiropractors.

The spinal decompression therapy includes the broadening and lengthening of the spinal cord which aims to ease body pain and to free the spine from pressure. This is not a surgical procedure, unlike laminectomy and microdisectomy.

The people who might need this are those with lower back pain, leg pain or sciatica and neck pain associated to disc herniation, bulging or deterioration. However, before seeking this treatment, it is important to know that some people are not allowed to undergo this . These include pregnant women, people with damaged vertebrae, people who had undergone spinal fusion, people who had spinal implants, people who had went through a failed back surgery and people who has poor or no recovery related to multiple surgeries. Also, some conditions increase the risk of spinal decompression. These include osteoporosis, osteopenia, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, spinal infection, spinal tumor, ankylosing spondylitis, any condition that will lead to a compromised integrity of the spine and any medical need for blood thinning medications.

Some of the advantages of using this traction technique are the promotion of the repositioning of herniated or bulging discs through the creation of negative intradiscal pressure and their cure through the entry of nutrients and therapeutic substances in them.

Even though this method has been very effective, there is still no substantial evidence that will prove its underlying principles. In whatever health condition one is experiencing, it is important to seek the advice of the doctor first. This will provide reliable information about the disorder and will help the patient to manage it fast and efficiently.
