The Real Cause of Your Back Pain
The discs between your vertebrae need water, oxygen, and nutrients to stay healthy. But unlike other parts of the body, the discs don’t have a blood supply with circulation. Instead, they depend on a pump mechanism that works whenever you move or bend your body.
When this pump mechanism fails, either due to trauma or sustained stress, the disc will weaken. This forces the discs above and below to work harder to compensate for the loss of function. If left untreated, the adjacent discs will also start to degenerate.
At this point, a doctor may diagnose you with degenerative disc disease. They may also prescribe pain medications. which will only mask your symptoms. Pain medications don’t treat the source of the problem, which is the failed pump mechanism.
The good news is that your spinal disc has the ability to heal itself. But first, you’ll need to schedule an appointment with the Harrison Chiropractic Center. Our spinal decompression doctors will determine if you’re a candidate for non-surgical treatment.

Your spinal disc has the ability to heal itself with non-surgical spinal decompression. With time, this treatment may help relieve back pain and improve your quality of life. But it’s important that you commit to the program.
Spinal decompression is NOT a quick fix. Rather, it’s a gradual process of healing the pump function of your discs. This takes time and dedication, which will be well worth it when you start to feel better.

- Ice Application
- Low-Level Cold Laser Therapy

Our doctors use a FDA-cleared piece of equipment during . It’s called a spinal decompression table, which helps the body develop negative disc pressure that’s crucial for healing.
During the session, the table will pull up on the bone above the disc and down on the bone below the disc. This decompresses the disc, which is where the treatment gets its name.
The table uses a computer-regulated algorithm to decompress the disc in alternating cycles. This artificial pumping introduces water, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc.
One of the main advantages of spinal decompression is that it’s painless. It also allows you to heal your disc without drugs, injections, or surgery.
