Spinal Decompression Therapy in Glen Allen, Virginia

You've had MRI's, taken medication, and you may have even tried surgery but you haven't found relief from your back pain. Dr. Michael Mulvaney, DC is a chiropractor who offers nonsurgical, noninvasive treatments to those suffering from this disabling condition. The Spinal Correction Center of Richmond offers hope to patients seeking spinal decompression therapy in Glen Allen, Virginia and the surrounding area.

Spinal Decompression has been proven particularly useful in the treatment of spinal stenosis, herniated disks, and other conditions involving compression of the spinal cord. Your spinal cord runs down the center of your back bone. Your back bone is made up of individual bones called vertebrae. In between the vertebrae, pads, called discs, serve as shock absorbers. These discs are made up of a hard outer "shell" called the annulus fibrosis and a soft inner section called the nucleus pulposis. Sometimes this soft inner section may bulge out through the annulus fibrosis, putting pressure on the spinal cord. Spinal decompression can specifically target this cause of many types of back pain by gently separating your vertebrae. Over the course of several treatments, your discs may move back into place.

Dr. Mulvaney offers a safe and effective alternative to invasive treatments. By targeting the underlying cause of back pain, he ensures that results are lasting. Additionally, he offers counseling on lifestyle improvements, giving patients an active role in their care.

Conditions treated include:

- Spinal Stenosis
- Disk Herniation
