Eugene Chiropractic Blog

At Absolute Wellness Center, our Eugene chiropractors Dr. White and Dr. Herbert believe in using all-natural alternatives to surgery and pain medications to reduce the likelihood of side effects. They believe in determining the root of the problem so they can target the cause of pain instead of just targeting the pain symptoms themselves. By using this methodology, they are able to help your body heal itself naturally.

That is why our chiropractors are excited to offer an innovative and non-surgical therapy for the treatment of chronic neck and back pain in Eugene. This therapy, known as spinal decompression, is available at Absolute Wellness Center and is particularly effective in the treatment of neck and back pain coupled with headaches or migraines. These symptoms are sometimes the result of auto accident injuries or work injuries, but can also result just from spending too much in front of a computer, sleeping the wrong way, or something else.

Spinal decompression therapy is performed under the supervision of a specially trained chiropractor and is used to release pressure on nerves in the spine. The way decompression therapy works is the vertebrae of the spine are slowly and gently stretched or ‘decompressed.’ This allows your spine to move gently back into its proper alignment. The first modern spinal decompression device was cleared by the FDA in 1996 and dozens improvements in the form of updated and computer controlled spinal decompression tables have been released in the time since then.

Spinal decompression is a safe and effective therapy for the spine that allows our patients to get all-natural relief from their pain without the need for pain medications or spinal surgery. Not only does spinal decompression in Eugene not require surgery, but many patients say they actually enjoy their decompression treatments because they feel good.

According to one study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, surgery was not any more effective than non-invasive treatments such as spinal decompression therapy and chiropractic care for patients who were experiencing sciatica from lumbar disc herniation. This means it’s cheaper and potentially just as effective to try all-natural chiropractic therapies before you consider getting a spinal surgery.

Spinal decompression in Eugene can be used to provide pain relief for a variety of conditions which often are accompanied by headaches, including back pain, neck pain, work injuries, or auto injuries in Eugene.
