Did you know back and neck pain are often caused by having degenerated discs? Think of the disc like a sponge engorged with water. This is the picture of a healthy disc. Now think of a sponge that is completely dry and shriveled up. This is the picture of a degenerated or unhealthy disc. The key to disc health is hydration. In a sense you need to get the water back in to restore health.
This is precisely what spinal decompression therapy does. It gently pulls the spine apart allowing nutrients and hydration to reabsorb back into the disc. Decompression has actually been shown in studies to increase disc height. Part of our decompression is that we pair this therapy with a disc support supplement called NutraDisc, which contains glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, turmeric, and a proteolytic enzyme blend.
This is important because studies show some of these ingredients can actually help the body reserve some of the disc degeneration. Spinal decompression and the supplement work in synergy to improve the health of the disc. They help put water back into the disc just like taking that shriveled up sponge and adding water to it.
This approach contrasts spinal injections and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used medically. Studies show these actually accelerate degeneration in cartilage and weaken the bone structure as well, moving you in the wrong direction. If you have chronic back or neck pain due to degenerated discs, our spinal decompression program may be the answer you are looking for.
