Prodigy Chiro Care Offers Non Surgical Spinal Decompression in Santa Monica

Prodigy Chiro Care & Spinal Rehab Santa Monica is pleased to announce that they are offering non-surgical spinal decompression Santa Monica residents can benefit from. This kind of non-surgical therapy involves stretching the spine, using a traction table or one that is motorized, to provide relief for back pain and/or leg pain.

In non-surgical spinal decompression, the chiropractor gently stretches the spine to reduce the pressure on the vertebrae. The result is that the discs that may be herniated or bulging can retract, which then results into less pressure on the nerves. This reduction in tension also facilitates the flow of oxygen, nutrients, and water to the discs, allowing them to heal. It has been observed that such therapy may potentially treat a number of conditions, such as: degenerative disc disorders; neck and back pain, including pain from sciatica; diseased or injured spinal nerve roots; worn spinal joints; and degenerated or bulging discs.

Meanwhile, it is important to note that spinal decompression therapy has been in use for many years and various testimonials from a large number of people indicate that it does work. Except for those cases where surgical spinal decompression may be the only alternative, such as fractures, tumors, or abdominal aortic aneurysms, non-surgical spinal decompression is a natural alternative to using drugs and surgery.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is different from the surgical option in that it is aimed at addressing the root cause of the back pain. In contrast, surgical and drug therapy are focused on resolving the symptoms but ignore the root cause. Oftentimes, non-surgical spinal decompression is part of a comprehensive therapy designed to resolve the root cause of the pain.

The chiropractic clinic is co-owned by Dr. Carlos Rodriguez, DC, who has over 15 years of experience as a chiropractor. Aside from non-surgical spinal decompression, they offer chiropractic services, massage therapy, customized foot orthotics, and digital x-rays on site. They make use of different chiropractic and related techniques, such as flexion/distraction, S.O.T., diversified, activator, needles, Thompson, moxibustion, cupping, low force, IR therapy, Galsa, earseeds/ ear points, myofascial release, and electrical stimulation.

Dr. Rodriguez, DC, the chiropractor Santa Monica residents can go to, can offer chiropractic services that can help provide relieve for a broad range of complaints and health problems, including scoliosis, back pain, sciatica, extremity pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, numbness and more. The clinic has earned the reputation of being a top sports rehabilitation center in the Santa Monica area with caring professionals who are truly focused on the long-term health and well-being of their patients.

The spinal decompression they provide offers a number of benefits. They currently perform spinal decompression through the Air-Flex chiropractic table with Auto-Flex. This is appropriate for the treatment of sciatica, disc bulge, disc herniation, sacral iliac binding, joint mobility issues, lumbosacral compression, nerve impingement, and provision of flexion/ decompression for the spinal stenosis regions. The table is provided with a manual and computer automated system that allows the Auto-Flex feature to offer more versatility. Through its control panel, the chiropractor can adjust the speed and the number of treatment cycles. The chiropractor can also change the speed and the amount of flexion even during the time when the table is being used.

Meanwhile, the Air-Flex has been provided with a new Auto-Distraction feature that allows it to have programmable automatic decompression traction. After attaching the ankle straps to the patient, the chiropractor may then apply long-axis traction at a certain poundage. The lower end of the table will then cycle in and out depending on the parameters that have been inputted by the chiropractor through the control panel.
