Headaches commonly occur when spinal bones in the neck do not support the head properly. A misalignment causes irritation to the nerve structure and interference in the flow of nerve energy throughout the body. Stress and bad posture easily lead to chronic migraines, which is why many people who work at a desk suffer from them.

At Disc Centers of America, our National Certified Doctors offer the benefits of Non Surgical Spinal Decompression in conjunction with gentle and effective treatment of chiropractic care. Often headaches are caused by a pinched nerve also known as a vertebral subluxation, by removing this pathology stress is removed from the spine. This decrease in misalignment will help to decrease or eliminate headaches! With NSSD & chiropractic care, you get the natural approach for headache relief. Whether you suffer from tension headaches, migraine headaches, cluster headaches, stress headaches, anxiety related headaches, neck pain related headaches or cervico-genetic headaches, relief is possible.

What Is Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression?

“Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.

Doctors have used nonsurgical spinal decompression in an attempt to treat:

• Back or neck pain or sciatica, which is pain, weakness, or tingling that extends down the leg
• Bulging or herniated disks or degenerative disk disease
• Worn spinal joints (called posterior facet syndrome)
• Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots

How Is Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression Done?

You are fully clothed during spinal decompression therapy. The doctor fits you with a harness around your pelvis and another around your trunk. You either lie face down or face up on a computer-controlled table. A doctor operates the computer, customizing treatment to your specific needs.

Treatment may last 30 to 45 minutes and you may require 20 to 28 treatments over five to seven weeks. Before or after therapy, you may have other types of treatment, such as:

• Electrical stimulation (electric current that causes certain muscles to contract)
• Ultrasound (the use of sound waves to generate heat and promote healing)
• Heat or cold therapy

Ask your doctor whether or not you are a good candidate for nonsurgical spinal decompression. It is best not to try it if you are pregnant. People with any of these conditions should also not have nonsurgical spinal decompression:

• Fracture
• Tumor
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm
• Advanced osteoporosis
• Metal implants in the spine”

Spinal decompression therapy for headache relief

Spinal decompression  when combined with Chiropractic Care is a natural  health science that has been most successful because it immediately goes to the cause of headaches, and in many cases halts the progress of a dangerous disease. Non Surgical Spinal decompression, NSSD,  involves stretching the spine, using a specialized, FDA cleared motorized device known as a Decompression table with specific software and algorithms to make for a gentle experience. So gentle patients often fall asleep during treatment. The goal of DCOA doctors is to focus on relieving pain and increasing functionality in the spine. This alleviates the symptoms of chronic headaches.
