How can spinal decompression therapy help a herniated disc?
A herniated disc may respond to controlled traction that reduces stress around the involved spinal area. Advanced Injury Care Clinic first reviews your history, symptoms, and exam findings. We then explain whether decompression fits your condition and whether exercises, posture guidance, or soft tissue therapy should support the plan. Individual response differs.
What should be ready before treatment starts?
Your symptom history, medication list, prior imaging, and relevant medical records help us prepare for the evaluation. Bring details about when symptoms began and what changes them. Our team uses that information with the physical exam to discuss suitability, treatment goals, and safe next steps.
Which condition changes the treatment plan?
Changing weakness, severe numbness, or loss of bladder or bowel control changes the plan and needs urgent medical assessment. Less urgent factors include symptom location, movement limits, prior injuries, and exam findings. We use these details to decide whether traction fits or whether another evaluation should come first.
How is traction matched to my symptoms?
Traction is matched to your symptoms through a health history, physical exam, and review of movement patterns. We consider where discomfort travels, how your spine moves, and whether nerve signs appear. The resulting care plan may include decompression, exercises, posture guidance, or another suitable chiropractic approach.
What does the first evaluation include?
The first evaluation includes a new patient intake, health history, physical exam, and clear discussion of your concerns. We review prior care and imaging when available. An adjustment isn't automatic because treatment depends on the findings and the plan that best fits your symptoms.
When should I ask about decompression after an injury?
Ask about decompression after an injury when pain, stiffness, or movement limits continue and you want a non-invasive care discussion. Auto accident, work-related, and sports injuries may need different assessments. Urgent symptoms require medical attention before chiropractic treatment is considered.
