Las Vegas NV, 22-JULY-2015 - Lake Mead Chiropractic and Dr. Matthew Mortensen DC, are pleased to announce that decompression services are available to local area patients. The discs are the cushions which are part of the spinal column. They lie between each pair of vertebrae and when they are normally hydrated, they protect against irritation of the nerves and surrounding soft tissue. The chiropractor Las Vegas professional is able to identify the part of the spine which is affected by compressed discs and to implement the corrective techniques.

A compressed disc can be caused by injuries or posture problems. Dr. Mortensen has the knowledge and equipment to gently apply the type of pressure which serves as a gentle vacuum effect on the disc. As the pressure is relieved, the disc is re-hydrated. When the disc bulge is reduced by restoring the tissue to its normal position and hydration, it no longer presses on surrounding tissue and nerves.

Decompression is accomplished by placing the patient on a table which provides a slight stretching and rolling motion to the spinal column. The program is designed with the help of computer software to apply the exact amount of pressure needed in the areas of the spine that require attention. Several sessions may be required to allow the spinal discs to heal enough to remain in the correct position.

Auxiliary techniques may be applied so that the muscles and connective tissues are able to better support the spinal column. Lifestyle changes may be encouraged to address other elements of health and wellness. The patient is encouraged and supported throughout the healing process.
