Spinal Decompression Therapy

One of the most common musculoskeletal conditions of the spine is a disc herniation, often referred to as a bulging, ruptured, or slipped disc. Whether caused by an injury, excessive strain, or aging, a herniated disc can cause moderate to severe pain, among other symptoms. Spinal decompression therapy with your chiropractor in Littleton is one of the most effective methods for treating a bulging disc.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression works through specific, controlled, computerized mechanical traction applied to the spine, achieving decompression at a specific disc level. The procedure is performed gently by your Littleton and Highlands Ranch chiropractor through specific and incremental separation of the vertebrae, creating a vacuum effect within the bulging disc. This negative pressure of vacuum aids in the retraction of the herniated, bulging discs relieving sensitive nerve pressure. The therapy also rejuvenates the disc by rehydrating the disc by bringing in nutrients and water into the disc through the decompressing and vacuuming mechanism. These chiropractic treatments generally take around 20 minutes and are performed anywhere from 1 time per week up to 5 times per week. Most patients will require between 10 and 25 treatments for the best outcome.

Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

A herniation occurs when a spinal disc, the soft jelly-like tissue that cushions the spinal vertebrae, pushes out from the spinal column. This can affect the surrounding nerves and tissues causing other symptoms to develop depending on where the disc herniation occurs. The most common symptoms include:

  • Mild pain or a dull ache in the neck or lower back (if the disc bulge is not pressing on a nerve)
  • Intense, radiating pain in the shoulder, arm, and hand (cervical disc herniation)
  • Intense, radiating pain in the buttock, thigh, and calf (lumbar disc herniation)
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Weakness and/or inability to grip or hold objects

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is a good idea to reach out to your chiropractor to begin treatment.

More than a Chiropractic office.

Excellent Chiropractic interest.

"Excellent chiropractic internist, and acupuncturist. Dr. Arne has been a game changer for our family. He figured my body pain was due to Lyme, which is now dormant due to his treatments. We had chronic sinuses infections, used antibiotics 6-7 times a year, we are now antibiotic free due to Arne’s ability to accurately identify virus/bacterial infections and treat them instead of a doctor handing us an antibiotic to treat what they thought was the issue. Definitely recommend when traditional medicine has failed and you are still searching for answers... Read More

Gentler approach.

"Dr Arne turned my life around. I had been suffering with the effects of Chronic Lyme disease and related co-infections for over a decade, even after 5 years of intense antibiotics, the last 9 months twice a day through an IV. I found Arne Wellness when I decided to eliminate all the toxic pharmaceuticals and try a gentler approach. It worked! Dr Arne guided me on a healing journey that eliminated all my symptoms. Using herbals and energy/frequency medicine, I barely noticed the gradual improvements until, after less than two years of treatment, my Lyme-related issues were resolved... Read More
