Ashburn and Herndon Spinal Decompression

Ashburn and Herndon Spinal Decompression Defined

Spinal decompression is defined by the oft-referenced website “WebMD” as a gentle stretching of the spine that changes the force and position of the spine to take pressure off the spinal discs. How? The negative pressure produced from spinal decompression over time may help reduce herniated discs and take pressure off of the spinal nerves and other spinal structures and allow water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids to get into the discs so they can heal. (12) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn concurs with this description and aspires to do just that with Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care via spinal manipulation with the procedure known as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation.
