Targeted Decompression – A healthy spine has the vertebrae that protect the spinal cord separated by discs made of sponge-like tissue that absorbs the shock of movement of the spine. Back and neck pain might be caused by several problems with the discs including:
Degenerative Disc Disease – the disc material itself loses volume and becomes thin that causes the bones of the vertebrae to rub against each other and the nerves exiting the spinal column to become pinched.
Herniated Disc – the disc material actually bulges out from the nucleus and may even rupture, putting pressure on the nerves that extend from the spinal cord. In some cases resulting in radicular nerve pain, most commonly known as Sciatica.
