RICHARDSON, Texas, Nov. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interactive Family Clinic in Richardson, TX promotes spinal decompression for patient conditions such as chronic back pain or car accident injury rehabilitation. According to chiropractor Dr. Houssam Aljamal, when the body sustains an injury, the spine may suffer a misalignment. A herniated disc can compress nearby nerves, causing chronic pain. Spinal decompression therapy helps create space between compressed vertebrae, allowing the herniated disc to return to its proper position. This relieves pressure on the nerves and naturally manages pain. Dr. Aljamal recommends spinal decompression therapy for the treatment of chronic neck and back pain.
For individuals struggling with chronic back pain, spinal decompression therapy offers an alternative to medication or surgery, says Richardson chiropractor Dr. Houssam Aljamal.
According to Dr. Aljamal, spinal decompression therapy is an effective technique for managing chronic neck and back pain. The treatment may also help speed the recovery process following a car accident injury or personal injury.
"Decompression therapy is truly a revolutionary treatment for managing chronic pain," said Dr. Aljamal. "This treatment has helped many of our patients return to leading an active lifestyle, when previously they felt trapped and limited by chronic pain."
Decompression therapy works by addressing the underlying cause for chronic pain. Many individuals suffer from back and neck pain due to a herniated disc in their spine. With the spine compressed, a disc slips out of alignment and puts pressure on nearby nerves. Consequently, patients experience chronic pain.
"Just as the name indicates, decompression therapy works by decompressing the spine," said Dr. Aljamal. "We slowly restore natural space between the vertebrae. This is a safe, gentle and highly effective treatment. By decompressing the spine, a herniated disc has room to return to its proper alignment. This relieves pressure on the nerves and consequently relieves chronic pain."
Decompression therapy is administered over a series of several treatments. Each treatment session slowly creates space between the vertebrae. Over time, patients can experience a dramatic reduction in their pain, says Dr. Aljamal.
"At Interactive Family Clinic, our focus is on both immediate pain relief and long-term wellness care," said Dr. Aljamal. "This is why decompression therapy is so effective. After just one treatment, patients experience pain relief. After a series of treatments, the effects are cumulative. Wellness care helps every patient live a healthier, more active life."
In addition to spinal decompression therapy, Dr. Aljamal may recommend complementary physiotherapy treatments. Ultrasound, heat and cold therapy, and electrical stimulation therapy enhance pain relief and speed internal healing.
