CLERMONT, Fla., June 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The chiropractors at Michaux Family Chiropractic in Clermont, Florida are putting the spotlight on spinal decompression as an effective treatment for neck pain and low back pain. This form of treatment involves gentle stretching and traction of the spine and can help individuals who suffer from pain due to arthritis, pinched nerves, bulging discs, herniated discs and/or slipped discs. The chiropractors note that they've seen amazing improvements in patients with this method of treatment.
Clermont chiropractors Dr. Kurt Michaux, Dr. Jamee Fike and Dr. Dan Warner recently spoke out about the role of spinal decompression in pain management and correcting herniated disc problems. This form of chiropractic therapy involves using a spinal decompression table to gently stretch a patient's spine in order to coax compressed vertebrae back into their correct positions.
This allows the discs between the vertebrae to increase its fluids, return the proper motion to the surrounding joint, stimulate more rapid healing and reduce pressure on the nerves that causes pain, numbness and other symptoms. Multiple sessions at regular intervals are usually required in order to achieve optimum results. Generally, treatment last from 6 weeks up to 12 weeks in more severe cases.
According to the chiropractors, this method of treatment has a very high rate of success in alleviating pain and reducing other symptoms. "It's one of the safest and most effective forms of non-drug, non-surgical pain management a patient can receive when suffering from a slipped, bulging, or herniated disc," Dr. Michaux said. "I've seen patients, who thought surgery was their only option, make significant improvements in a matter of weeks. It's fantastic to be able to see them reach their health goals and relieve them of their pain."
The chiropractors recommend supporting spinal decompression with chiropractic treatment and nutritional support for more effective pain management. In some cases, they also work with the patient on weight loss for those whose weight may be affecting their posture and overall health. In addition, they prescribe stretching and corrective exercises to strengthen the muscles of the neck, back, abdomen and/or other areas.
"The road to recovery isn't purely passive," Dr. Michaux went on to say. "Chiropractic treatment can lay the groundwork for a healthier spine and body, but the patient has to take charge of their health as well. Together, we can make a tremendous impact on their well-being, so they can focus on their priorities such as family and work. We're here to help them reach their goals."
