Overtime the discs of the spine may deteriorate, bulge or herniate. A Disc herniation can occur in any disc of the spine, but the most common form is a lumbar disc herniation.
Symptoms of a herniated disc can vary depending on the location of the herniation and the type of soft tissue involved. In many cases severe and unrelenting pain will radiate into the region served by an affected nerve root that is irritated or impinged by the herniated material. Fig 1
Spinal decompression gently pulls the vertebral joints apart.
It is believed this precise process produces a negative pressure inside the disc causing any herniated material to slowly recede away from the effected nerve root and back into the disc. Fig 2
It is also believed through this process the disc is rehydrated, aiding in its restoration. Fig 3
