Spinal Decompression in Arlington Heights
At O’Hara Family Chiropractic in Arlington Heights, we believe that sometimes, the best way to heal is to create a little space. That’s the essence of spinal decompression therapy – a non-invasive, gentle treatment that Dr. Kevin O’Hara uses daily to help patients find relief from a variety of spinal issues. It’s not just about treating symptoms; it’s about addressing the root cause of your pain.
Why Your Spine Needs Space
As we age or experience injuries, the spaces between our vertebrae can shrink. This compression can lead to a host of problems, including:
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Sciatica
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Arthritis
Dr. O’Hara often explains it this way: “Imagine your spine as a stack of cushions. Over time, these cushions can wear down, putting pressure on the nerves running through them. Our job is to gently restore that space, giving your nerves room to breathe.”
How Spinal Decompression Works
Using a combination of hands-on traction and Cox flexion-distraction techniques, Dr. O’Hara gently increases the space between your vertebrae. This process:
- Reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves
- Promotes healing by improving blood flow to the affected area
- Restores proper spinal alignment and function
The result? Relief from pain, improved mobility, and a better quality of life. And true to Dr. O’Hara’s “find it, fix it, leave it alone” philosophy, we focus on providing exactly the care you need – no more, no less.
Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression can be a game-changer for many patients, especially those experiencing:
- Radiating pain into arms or legs
- Numbness or tingling in extremities
- Weakness in arms or legs
- Decreased range of motion in the spine
It’s particularly effective for conditions like herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. Dr. O’Hara’s expertise allows him to tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results.
