Degenerative Disc Disease - Spinal Decompression LA

Address Degenerative Disc Disease with 'Spinal Decompression Therapy' at Spinal Decompression LA

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common condition that occurs when the discs in your spine break down with age. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Spinal Decompression LA, we offer a non-surgical solution that can help you manage DDD and reclaim your active lifestyle: Spinal Decompression Therapy.

Understanding Degenerative Disc Disease

The discs in your spine are like shock absorbers, cushioning the vertebrae and allowing for flexible movement. Over time, these discs can lose hydration and become thinner, leading to:

Pain: This can range from a dull ache to sharp, shooting pain in your neck or back.
Stiffness: Reduced flexibility and range of motion.
Numbness or tingling: In the arms or legs if the degenerated disc compresses a nerve.
Weakness: In the arms or legs.

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Helps DDD

Spinal decompression therapy employs a computerized traction table to gently stretch the spine. This creates negative pressure within the disc space, which can:

Improve disc hydration

Decompression therapy encourages the flow of fluids and nutrients back into the discs, helping to rehydrate them and restore their cushioning function.

Reduce pressure on nerves

By creating space in the spine, pressure is taken off the nerves, alleviating pain and other symptoms.

Slow down degeneration

By promoting a healthier disc environment, decompression therapy can help slow the progression of DDD.

Is Spinal Decompression Therapy Right for You?

Spinal decompression therapy can be a beneficial treatment option for many individuals with DDD, especially those who:

Experience chronic back or neck pain.

Have not found relief with other conservative treatments.

Important Note: It is crucial to consult with our experienced chiropractor to determine if spinal decompression therapy is the right treatment option for your specific condition.
