Get Back Pain Relief With Spinal Decompression Santa Monica Residents

By Sara Nichols


Our lifestyles today put a lot of demands on our bodies and it is important that we stay fit and healthy. When we begin to have back pain, often we think that it is the beginning of the end and it doesn't have to be. Low back pain is often caused by problems in the discs of the spine, either bulging or herniated discs are the culprits that send us to the doctor for relief. You may find that you can get back pain relief with spinal decompression Santa Monica residents.

Spinal decompression therapy is a technique that puts negative pressure on the spine by stretching it slightly to relieve pain and allowing the discs to get the nutrients and fluids that they need to heal. Pain usually begins when these discs don't get the fluid that they once did when we were younger and more active. Today our sedentary lifestyles have caused us to put more pressure on our lower back and rob the discs of the needed nutrients and fluids to maintain their height and flexibility. Thus, the stiffness that one feels after sitting for extended periods of time.

Many jobs require workers to sit for extended periods of time and while one may not think this type of work affects the back, it does because it puts pressure on the lower back and depending on posture it can create lower back pain and problems with the discs in the lower back. This is why sometimes people get stiff after sitting for long periods of time and need to move around to alleviate some of the pressure on their backs.

Surgery should be a last resort if there is nothing left that can be done to alleviate back pain. Many times however getting the proper chiropractic care and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will get you functioning at your best without the need for expensive surgeries or having to take any addictive pain medications.

The pain relief gained through chiropractic care is usually lasting and only requires maintenance adjustments to ensure that proper alignment is maintained. This is usually acceptable for many people as they want to live a pain free life without the need for drastic measures taken that can leave them with worsening symptoms or a debilitating condition.

The spine is a delicate instrument that once damaged can create a whole host of health problems besides back pain. You may find that your other symptoms of a completely unrelated nature are relieved once you get back your proper spine health and begin to live a healthier lifestyle.
