HOW DECOMPRESSION THERAPY HELPS YOUR SPINE
Three basic ways of improving your health:
1. Reduction of Nerve Compression.
The fundamental goal is to reduce the size of the disc bulge, relieving compression
of
nerves and restoring proper nerve funtion.
2. Disc Health.
Decompression brings nutrients and fluids into your discs,
restoring their natural cushioning function.
3. Muscular Integrity.
Decompression also provides a focused workout to spinal stabilizing musculature,
increasing their strength and endurance, providing better posture.
Nervous System Physiology
Virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body is controlled and regulated by your nervous system.
Here are four key things you should know about the chemical and electrical nature of this vast network:
Efferent Communications:
Nerve impulses are sent from the brain out to the organs and tissues of your body.
Afferent Communications:
Nerve impulses are sent back to the brain to make sure everything is working correctly.
Compressive Lesions:
If spinal vertebrae pinch or choke nerve tissue, signals going from or
to the affected organ or tissue can be diminished. (i.e., constipation, acid reflux)
Facilitative Lesions:
If spinal vertebrae chafe or irritate nerve tissue, signals going from or to
the affected organ or tissue can be excited. (i.e., diarrhea, hypertension)
The nervous system is vulnerable where delicate nerve tissue comes into proximity with
the moving bones of your spine. That is why we're interested in your spine!
Disc compression is problematic because it promotes premature degeneration of
intervertebral discs and leads to a tendency for repeated injury of the disc.
