Treat Lower Back Pain and Disc pain using non surgical Therapies %u2013 Metro Detroit, Michigan

There is a procedure that you can receive that will treat your lower back pain and disc pain using a non-surgical therapy. At Detroit Institute for Spinal Care in Metro Detroit, Michigan, Dr. Eric Mintz, DC does this therapy by performing Disc Decompression.

Spinal decompression is a non surgical treatment that allows the patient to lie on a table, and have a gentle pull that works on realigning the back. The realignment pull is set just for your situation. The pull relieves pressure between discs, and allows the back to become realigned. There is no pain that will be felt. Some say that they feel as if they have just completed a very good workout, and others compare their visit to being what you would experience from visiting a spa.

A few of the conditions that Spinal Decompression has assisted with are:

- Herniated Disc
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Sciatica
- General Lower Back Pain
- Failed Back Surgery

The lower back has vertebra, disc, and nerves. Sometimes there is too much pressure on the disc, and the fluid between the discs begins to seep out. When the fluid begins to seep out, it touches the nerves and causes pain down the back and the lower legs. Spinal decompression takes the disc that has the increased amount of pressure, due to the vertebra above it and below it, and begins to pull the bone back into the correct position which decreases the amount of pressure on the disc and this allows the fluid to decrease and go back into the correct place. Spinal Decompression is not the same as traction. Spinal Decompression has the ability to correct the realignment of only the disc that is being affected, while traction pulls the entire back.

Spinal Decompression gives an immediate sense of relief, and there is no pain associated. So if you have thrown up your hands because you believe that you have done all that you can, consider getting a non-surgical treatment for your lower back pain and disc pain. Dr. Mintz, in Metro Detroit, Michigan, would love to set up an appointment, and begin treatment right away. The sooner you get treatment, the sooner you will be able to get your life back.
