Are you suffering from neck pain? Pain or numbness down the arm or hands? Have you noticed arm or hand weakness? Have you run the gauntlet of therapies and failed?

If you have lasting neck pain and other related symptoms, you realize how disruptive the pain can be to your life.

Some people have turned to spinal decompression therapy to find relief.

Over time, a disc can become injured from repetitive daily movements, trauma, and dehydration. This can lead to a disc bulge, disc herniation, and degeneration changes. That is only to name a few conditions, but in these examples, it is not uncommon for the exiting nerve to be affected which then can affect the very muscles, tissues and organs that it innervates. When this nerve root is inflamed, irritated or even compressed, the resulting symptom is usually pain somewhere in the arm or hand.

Cervical spinal decompression is a noninvasive way to help alleviate these symptoms involving the neck and arm without surgery or the use of medication. Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that works by gently stretching the spine. This creates negative pressure changes in the disc which alleviates pressure off the spinal disc. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen and nutrient rich fluids into the disc so that it can heal. Doctors have used nonsurgical spinal decompression to treat neck and back pain, sciatica, bulging, herniated or degenerative disks; and injuries to spinal nerves.
