Pinched Nerve Relief

How to get relief from nerve compression symptoms caused by
a slipped disc, bulge or herniation without drugs or surgery.

LEIGH’S

PERSONAL STORY

I woke up in the middle of the night, with excruciating nerve pain running down both legs, all the way to my feet. My first thought – ‘What is causing this pain?’. My second thought – how am I going to get comfortable enough to sleep? I walked around the room for a while, propped myself up with pillows, nothing was working! The pain was relentless.
When medication didn’t even help, and I was unable to pick up my toddler the next day, I knew that it was serious.
Luckily, the option of Chiropractic treatment was readily available and the relief, with treatment, was indescribable.

What is a pinched nerve?

A pinched nerve (radiculopathy) occurs when the nerves exiting the spine are compressed. This happens when surrounding tissues, such as bones or out-of-place discs exert too much pressure on a nerve causing damage. This can cause symptoms down your arms or legs, including sharp shooting pains, numbness, tingling and muscle weakness. This debilitating condition often has a far-reaching negative impact on your quality of life.

What is

Spinal Decompression?

Have you ever felt like your spine needs a good stretch? Well then you are in luck! Spinal decompression is a form of traction therapy that uses a specialised treatment table designed to stretch the areas of your spine that need it most. This is specifically helpful when you have a compressed nerve. This technique gently releases the pressure on the nerve to provide relief from conditions such as pinched nerve/sciatica. This decompressive pressure applied can draw bulging and herniated disc material centrally which helps increase disc height and better align the spinal column.

This gentle stretching encourages nourishment back into the discs by moving water, oxygen, and additional nutrients into the disc space. This will promote healing, increase range of motion and functionality of the discs. This type of therapy has shown large benefits in people struggling with Sciatica, disc bulges, disc herniations, pinched nerves and degeneration of the disc spaces.
