Spinal Decompression Used to Help NJ Athletes With Herniated Discs

Feb. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- NJ Chiropractor, Dr. Peter Ferraro, treats men and women of all ages who are suffering from herniated disc injuries, and athletes are no exception.  

Since many herniated discs are caused by repeated stress to the lower back and prolonged exposure to heavy straining or pressure, athletes are typically a top candidate for herniated or bulging disc injuries.  With the multitude of back pain solutions that exist today, making an educated decision for back pain treatment can be difficult.

Spinal decompression is often a popular method of back pain treatment because it is non-surgical, painless and relatively quick.  Dr. Ferraro has successfully treated many Bergen County athletes, and those from all over NJ, with spinal decompression therapy.  The treatment typically involves 20-25 sessions over a period of 7-8 weeks.  Therapy sessions are about 25 minutes in duration.

During spinal decompression therapy, the injured discs of the spine are gently stretched apart, producing a suction effect.  This suction effect will draw the bulging material back into the disc. Additionally, the suction will also draw Oxygen, blood, water, and nutrients back into the disc which is essential to the healing process.  

According to Dr. Ferraro, published medical studies show a 92% success rate for spinal decompression therapy when performed by a qualified professional. “When spinal decompression is performed properly on the right candidate, they can expect a full recovery and most likely avoid future invasive surgeries,” adds Dr. Ferraro.  “Patients must receive a comprehensive evaluation before undergoing treatment, as this is not a one size fits all answer for all herniated disc injuries.”

NJ residents who would like to speak with Dr. Ferraro about the benefits of spinal decompression therapy can call his office at 973-478-2212 to set up a complimentary consultation.
