Chiropractic Spinal Decompression Meridian Idaho

Gentle Non-Surgical relief of Sciatica and Low Back Pain

Are you struggling with acute or chronic low back pain, possibly with sciatic pain radiating down your legs? Perhaps you tried traditional chiropractic care, physical therapy, or injections without lasting relief, and you want to avoid surgery? Sadly, you’re not alone

At Meridian Idaho Gonstead Spine & Wellness Chiropractic we offer a non-surgical spinal decompression treatment for relief from low back pain and sciatica related to nerve pressure created by herniated discs.

Non-Surgical Spinal decompression can help with pain from:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica and Nerve pain aka “pinched nerve”
  • Shooting pain, numbness, tingling or weakness into the legs
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Facet Syndrome
  • Spinal Stenosis
  • Chronic low back pain

What is Spinal Decompression?

If you suffer from back or sciatica pain, spinal decompression may be able to help.   The computer-guided traction therapy method involves controlled stretching and decompression of the spine to alleviate pain.  By applying a tiny, focused negative pressure within the disc, decompression of the spine facilitates the transport of healing fluids and nutrients to the area of injured disc.  Disc bulges and herniations will shrink, pressure on inflamed nerves will decrease, joint space will improve, and pain will subside as a result of your spinal decompression sessions.

 “Research has shown that symptoms associated with sciatica or herniated discs can be reduced by 70 to 90%.”

Common Conditions we treat:

Sciatica or Lumbar Radiculopathy: Is caused by inflammation of the sciatic nerve resulting in pain that radiates from the lower back to the hip, buttock, and down the leg.   Patients describe the pain as intense and burning, accompanied by potential numbness or weakening in the leg.

Decompression will decrease and alleviate discomfort in the lower back and radiating leg pain by diminishing pressure on lumbar discs and nerve roots.  The frequency of treatment may fluctuate according on the severity of the issue.   Most patients often commence with 2 to 3 treatments per week for several weeks, reducing the frequency gradually over time.   Sciatica often necessitates 15-20 sessions to alleviate disc inflammation and diminish nerve impingement. 

Bulging Discs Vs Herniated Discs

Discs have a soft gelatinous center, called the Nucleus Pulposis. When this material of the disc starts to push outward which can compress nearby nerves.  The nerve compression can cause local low back pain as well as shooting pain down into one or both legs. The difference between a bulging disc and a herniated disc can be likened to a jelly doughnut. If you push down on the donut it will bulge and if you push even herder the jelly will move out of the donut and the jelly spilling out represents a herniated disc.

The benefits of chiropractic spinal decompression: Mild to moderate distraction created by our Chattanooga DTS Triton Spinal Decompression Tables exerts negative pressure, which can diminish a disc bulge or herniation and enhance nutrient supply to the region, so facilitating recovery.    Then, we use chiropractic care and exercises to strengthen the core to make your progress even faster.   Our protocols and treatment plans entail for fifteen to twenty sessions, spaced out three times a week for four weeks, with subsequent sessions spaced out more frequently as you progress. 

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is a reducing of your spinal canal or the foramina. Spinal stenosis can cause a “Double Crush Syndrome” whereas the spinal cord is impinged as well as the nerve emitting from the spine through the spinal foramina.  Stenosis typically results from degenerative alterations, such a bone spur or a disc injury.   Spinal stenosis can compress nerves, particularly during standing and or any movement of the lower back or neck, resulting in lower back or neck pain. Spinal Stenosis can also cause one side or both sided leg or arm pain, and weakness. If your stenosis is in the neck it can be related to arm pain and if in the lower back it can be associated with leg pain and or weakness.

How decompression benefits your spinal stenosis: The specifically designed Chattanooga DTS Triton Spinal Decompression Tables distraction opens the joint spaces to reduce joint compression.  Reduced joint compression will improve comfort. Flexion-biased positions and gentle Activator adjustments often make daily activities easier. Usually for spinal stenosis decompression can range from 10-20 sessions.  

Facet Syndrome

What it is: Irritation of the small stabilizing joints at the back of the spine (facets). These Facet joints are about the size of your little fingernail and are highly innervated. When your facet joints become inflamed, they will cause pain especially with extension and rotation of the lower back and or neck. You can have facet syndrome in the neck or the lower back.

How Chiropractic spinal decompression relieves pain: the spinal traction reduces joint compression and allows irritated tissues to become less inflamed because of the distraction forces. Chiropractic spinal decompression widens the facet joint space and triggers the release of lubricating fluids and anti-inflammatory enzymes.  Common signs include localized low back pain or neck pain, neck or low back stiffness, pain with standing or twisting, or if your neck is involved with forward and backward movement called forward flexion and backward extension.  Our chiropractic spinal decompression treatment protocols recommend 10 to 15 sessions typically combined with chiropractic care including Gonstead Chiropractic Adjustments, Chiropractic Biophysics and targeted core work.

Chiropractic Spinal Decompression Therapy: What to Expect

At your initial visit, we’ll assess if decompression suits you.   We will examine you, take a medical history, and look over any imaging results you may have.   Decompression, Gonstead Chiropractic adjustments, and targeted rehabilitation of your core muscles and spinal joints may all be part of your treatment plan if we decide it will be beneficial for you.

Chiropractic Spinal Decompression Treatment Sessions – As you relax on your back, the Chattanooga DTS Triton Spinal Decompression Table will gently apply traction and then release it. During this 10-to-15-minute session the table repeatedly distracts and relaxes your spine. This is known as functional distraction in the chiropractic field and this performed because the anatomy of your spinal discs, your spinal joints and the supporting soft tissues of your spine. Treatment typically lasts around 10-15 minutes, and patients often report feeling calm and at ease throughout the entire treatment period.
