Non-Surgical Solutions for Spinal Stenosis Pain in Kearny Mesa, CA

Living with spinal stenosis can be debilitating, affecting your daily activities and overall quality of life. While surgery is often considered the primary solution, many patients have found significant relief through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) combined with active therapy. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, offers effective non-surgical treatments tailored to your specific needs.

Understanding Spinal Stenosis and Its Causes

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within your spine narrow, putting pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. This can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness, particularly in the legs and lower back. Common causes include:

• Herniated Discs: Discs that have slipped out of place can compress spinal nerves.
• Bone Spurs: Overgrowth of bone can intrude into the spinal canal.
• Thickened Ligaments: Ligaments can thicken over time, reducing space in the spinal canal.
• Spinal Injuries: Trauma can cause dislocations or fractures, leading to stenosis.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Provides Relief

NSSD is a non-invasive therapy that gently stretches the spine, aiming to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. Here's how it works:

1. Gentle Spinal Stretching: A specialized table is used to carefully stretch the spine, creating negative pressure within the spinal discs.
2. Disc Rehydration: This negative pressure encourages the retraction of herniated or bulging discs and promotes the influx of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the discs, facilitating healing.
3. Pain Reduction: By alleviating pressure on the nerves, patients often experience a significant reduction in pain and other symptoms.

This therapy is painless and avoids the risks associated with surgical procedures, making it an attractive option for many patients.

The Importance of Combining NSSD with Active Therapy

While NSSD addresses the structural issues causing spinal stenosis, combining it with active therapy enhances and sustains the benefits. Active therapy focuses on:

• Strengthening Muscles: Building core and back muscles to support the spine.
• Improving Flexibility: Enhancing the range of motion to prevent stiffness.
• Correcting Posture: Teaching proper alignment to reduce spinal stress.

This comprehensive approach not only alleviates current symptoms but also helps prevent future occurrences.
