Disc Surgery

Surgery on bulging or herniated discs can be complex and the recovery process is long and intense. But living with back pain or pinched nerves takes a toll on your health too, so how do you find the best treatment for your pain to continue to lead a healthy and active life? Our chiropractor can help with alternatives to disc surgery in Tampa, FL.

Spinal Decompression

The process of spinal decompression helps stretch out your spine and create space between the vertebrae. This releases pressure from any pinched nerves causing you pain, and allows more oxygen and fluid to flow to your discs. The DRX9000 is a spinal decompression machine that resembles a table but with moving and adjustable parts. You are gently harnessed into the machine and throughout the session it gently stretches your spine, gradually decompressing the vertebrae and relieving pressure from your discs and nerves.

Sessions last 30 to 45 minutes, and the number of sessions your chiropractor recommends will depend on your condition. The time spent on the machine should be painless and relaxing. Some patients feel discomfort after the first few sessions but always adjust to the therapy.

Laser Therapy

Another alternative to disc surgery in Tampa, FL, is laser therapy. Both heat and cold can be delivered by lasers to reduce pain and inflammation. Erchonia cold laser therapy reduces inflammation to increase range of motion in an affected area. Multiwave Locked System, or MLS Laser Therapy delivers heat to soothe pain and reduce inflammation. Both types of laser treatments also help regenerate tissue for healing.

Sessions can be performed within 10 minutes, but the length of your whole treatment plan will vary based on your condition. Most patients complete 7-10 sessions to achieve lasting results. Laser therapy is completely safe and approved by the FDA with no risk of side effects, and can be used almost anywhere on the body to promote healing.
