You don't have to live in debilitating pain. Whether you have lower back pain, a pinched nerve, sciatica, radiating pain into the arms or legs, neck pain, or a variety of symptoms related to damaged or degenerative discs, spinal stenosis, and post-operative complications, as well as syndromes of the lumbar and cervical spine.

Back Pain Treatment

Spinal Decompression may be for you. This gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and neck pain relief, and sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art procedure for, bulging, herniated, or degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions.

The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduate to a peak over a period of several minutes.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Back pain can be caused by things like obesity, arthritis, kidney stones and blood clots.  While the previously listed problems can cause back pain, the most common cause of back pain is spinal misalignment or subluxation of the vertebrae of the spine.

If your spine becomes misaligned it can put pressure on the nerves that come out of the spine.  This pressure can cause anything from minor discomfort to extreme pain. Our team is skilled at locating areas of spinal misalignment.

In general problems get worse when they are left uncorrected.  We meet patients regularly that waited so long that their problems have become permanent.  A subluxation is like a cavity in your tooth.  If you let a cavity grow in your tooth too long you will eventually lose your tooth.  The thing to realize is that your spine is much more important than a tooth. Your spine protects the most important system in your body, your nervous system.

Having a complete patient history is a necessity when we are working with a new patient.  It's important that we know what you have to say about your symptoms.  Communicating with them is an important step towards success.  Ask the doctor about things you can do on your own to improve your success.

It's important to us that you have a great experience in our office.  If you have any questions please feel free to call us at SuperiorMED Peoria and one of our staff members will be able to help you.  Don't let back pain control your life.  Call our medical team in Peoria today and get started on your journey back to health.
