Nashville Decompression Therapy Helps Locals With Herniated Disc Problems

By Hans Gerhard

The chiropractic perspective dictates that Nashville decompression therapy takes into account two fundamental concepts. 1 ' that the healing and functioning of the body is influenced by its condition and structure, and 2 ' a mind-body relationship is required to be integrated for healing and the maintenance of good health.

Much in chiropractic practice is shared with other fields of medicine, the difference however lies in its fundamental philosophy, and distinguishes it from modern medical practice. This philosophy is applied holistically and the combination of mind, body and spirit elements gravitates this practice towards the 'total' person. The belief is that health is dependent upon 'natural laws' and it is deviation from these which cause illness.

Surgery is not part of this philosophy, it focuses on the body's power to recuperate and heal itself with the correct techniques and direction. It is widely recognized that the underlying cause of an illness needs to be understood for healing to take place, and lifestyle and environment are contributing factors to illness. Treating the symptoms of an illness instead of discovering its underlying cause can mask the true nature of the illness. Chiropractic also believes clinical and surgical intervention may be risky to the central nervous system which affects every human physiological capacity.

Nashville decompression therapy is hands on, patient centered and closely monitored. This treatment has been proven to offer relief from pain, and this in turn helps with the associated illness or complaint.

Decompression therapy has been used with success to treat back and its associated pain, and problems such as infantile colic, migraine, and carpal tunnel syndrome amongst others benefit from treatment. A herniated disk or slipped disks as we know it to be called causes back and other pain, and with early chiropractic intervention relief can be found.

Discs are the liquid filled spacers between the bones of the spinal column, if they are out of alignment they may bulge between the bones of the spine and put pressure on the spine and nervous system. Realignment of the disks through chiropractic therapy can relieve this pressure as well as pain. - 30407
