Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment Benefits

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression through flexion distraction applies controlled movement to the lumbar spine without forceful adjustments. Based on your examination, this technique may:

• Reduce pressure affecting spinal discs and nerves
• Improve motion between lumbar spinal segments
• Ease stiffness that restricts bending or walking
• Support fluid and nutrient movement within discs
• Reduce pain extending into the buttocks or legs
• Improve tolerance for routine daily movement

How Does a Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment Work?

During this bulging disc treatment, you lie on our specialized AFT Automatic Flexion Table while your chiropractor controls the table’s speed, direction, and range of movement. Gentle flexion and distraction create space between spinal structures, helping reduce disc-related nerve pressure.

Flexion Distraction

Most people want to avoid surgery. At Northern Nevada Chiropractic, we employee many treatments to help you heal and stay off the operating table. One of the non-surgical treatments for back pain we offer is flexion distraction. Flexion distraction is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment to alleviate pain in the muscles and joints.

Flexion Distraction is a Non-Surgical Treatment to Relieve Back Pain

Flexion distraction is a non-surgical technique aimed at increasing spinal motion and resolving disc bulges and herniated discs. The treatment works to take pressure off the injured spinal nerves and is a safe, gentle, and non-adjustment procedure. This chiropractic technique used to treat many conditions of the lumbar spine including:

• Scoliosis
• Sacroiliac syndrome
• Spinal stenosis
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Failed back surgical syndrome
• Bulging or herniated discs
• Low back pain or stiffness
• Sciatica
• Arthritis
• Sprain/strain

To perform flexion distraction, your chiropractor will place you on a special table that distracts and flexes the spine using a automated and gentle motion. Your doctor may use some manual techniques with the table to resolve the herniated disc or bulge. The goal is to allow the spine to move correctly so that it removes pressure from the bulging disk. The flexion distraction table does this by creating a negative pressure that pulls the disc bulge back into the spine. The flexion distraction motion also maintains healthy discs through diffusing fluid in the body, allowing nutrients into the spinal disc and keeping them healthy.

Bulging Disc Treatment for Back Pain

A bulging disc may cause localized back pain, stiffness, or radiating discomfort when nearby nerves become irritated. Flexion distraction applies measured lumbar movement to reduce mechanical pressure around the affected area while improving spinal mobility without forceful twisting or thrusting.
