When spinal discs are functioning properly they are constantly taking in fresh nutrients and oxygen from the blood and expelling waste products. When they are injured (disc bulge, disc herniation, disc degeneration) they are unable to do this and lose the ability to function properly.
The herniated disc fragments or a bulging disc can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves causing severe pain and loss of function.
Spinal decompression can isolate on a specific spinal disc level until it is healthy enough to do it on it's own.
The length of treatment naturally depends on the severity of the condition, but most cases take anywhere between 6-8 weeks of treatment.
