Chiropractors are well-known for their ability to provide hands-on pain relief treatment. That said, chiropractors aren’t limited to just their hands and now a variety of advanced tools and equipment can be used to spur healing and provide pain relief. Dr. Edward Hevner at the Hevner Chiropractic Center in Lititz, PA, offers spinal decompression and many other forms of chiropractic care.
Understanding the Discs and Spinal Decompression
The spine is a complex structure that supports the body and absorbs shocks. It is made up of bones called vertebrae interspersed with gel-like discs. The discs act as a sort of cushion and create space between vertebrae. If the disc bulges outward, a patient can suffer from a herniated disc. This occurs because the nucleus of the disc is no longer in the proper shape. The nearby tissue, including the roots of nerves emerging from the spinal cord, could come under pressure and create pain signals.
While the discs are soft, they’re also typically quite durable. That said, over time, they will lose fluid. Many older people suffer from degenerative disc disease, meaning their discs’ outer shells are breaking down, and often, they’re more prone to herniated discs and other issues. Spinal decompression is typically one of the most effective forms of treatment for disc issues. It involves the use of a machine to gently stretch the spine, providing room for herniated discs to move back into place and taking pressure off the nearby tissues. If you believe you’re suffering from disc problems and live in or near Lititz, PA, you can undergo spinal decompression at the Hevner Chiropractic Center.
Spinal Decompression and Other Pains
While spinal decompression is particularly popular with disc issues, it can be used to address a variety of related problems as well. Spinal decompression is also effective for addressing sciatica. When you have this condition, the sciatic nerve in your lower back comes under pressure, causing numbness, tingling, or pain that travels down the leg. By working with the spine, it may be possible to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Spinal decompression can help with impingements of other nerves, too.

Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression is a non-invasive comprehensive treatment program for patients who suffer from chronic neck and back problems. When physical therapy and chiropractic care are unsuccessful, spinal decompression is a safe and natural alternative to surgery.
How Spinal Decompression Works:
Our state-of-the-art Spinal Decompression table slowly and gently lengthens the spine, relieving pressure caused by things like herniated discs and degenerative disc disease. As pressure is relieved and circulation improves, vital nutrients are drawn back into the disc, thereby aiding the body’s natural healing process.
