Relief from Herniated Discs: How Spinal Decompression at Nathans Family Chiropractic Can Help

Published September 17th, 2024 by S. Pol

Living with a herniated disc can be debilitating. Whether it's sharp pain shooting down your leg, persistent discomfort in your back, or the numbness and weakness that make everyday tasks difficult, the impact on your life is profound. At Nathans Family Chiropractic, we offer a solution that doesn’t involve drugs, injections, or surgery—our advanced spinal decompression therapy.

What is a Herniated Disc?

Your spine is a complex structure made up of bones (vertebrae) cushioned by discs. These discs act as shock absorbers, helping you move with flexibility and ease. A herniated disc occurs when the inner gel-like core of a disc pushes through its tough outer layer, often pressing on nearby nerves. This can lead to intense pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness, commonly affecting the lower back or neck.


Spinal Decompression: A Non-Surgical Solution

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that addresses the root cause of pain associated with herniated discs—pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. At Nathans Family Chiropractic, we utilize the DRX9000, an advanced spinal decompression system that gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the affected disc. This process encourages the herniated material to retract, relieving pressure on the nerves and promoting the flow of healing nutrients back into the disc.


The DRX9000 system is particularly effective because it specifically targets the discs that are causing your pain, providing relief after just a few sessions. Unlike other treatments that may only mask symptoms, spinal decompression addresses the underlying issue, offering a long-term solution to your pain.


Our Approach to Eliminating Chronic Neck & Back Pain

At Nathans Family Chiropractic, we specialize in helping patients eliminate chronic neck and back pain without resorting to invasive methods. Whether you’ve tried other forms of treatment like chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, physical therapy, or steroid injections with limited success, our approach provides a new avenue for relief.


A cornerstone of our treatment plan is the DRX9000 spinal decompression system, which quickly and effectively reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves. In addition to spinal decompression, we incorporate no-needle regenerative protocols that work at the cellular level to promote healing. These protocols stimulate the growth of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues, aiding your body in repairing itself and reducing the risk of future injuries.

Our mission at Nathans Family Chiropractic is not only to relieve your current pain but also to prevent future issues by promoting overall spinal health. We offer personalized care plans tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the most effective treatments for sustained relief and wellness.

About Dr. Nathans

Dr. Alan Nathans has a personal story that reflects the struggles and triumphs many people face with spinal issues. After dedicating over 20 years to his profession, he was confronted with a crippling condition that nearly took it all away – spinal disc degeneration and herniated discs in his lower back.


His journey with spinal problems began over 40 years ago, starting with just a little soreness. Over time, however, his neck and back became increasingly unstable, leading to severe episodes where his back "would go out" around three times a year. He tried various treatments, from pain management to cortisone injections, but nothing provided lasting relief.


The turning point in Dr. Nathans' story came when his pain management doctor gave him a 70% impairment rating – a wake-up call that hit him hard. It was like being told retirement was around the corner, but his passion for his work was still burning strong.


Rather than accepting this fate, Dr. Nathans refused to give up. He discovered spinal decompression and began his own journey to recovery. Today, he is pain-free and more passionate than ever about helping others find relief.


For those feeling hopeless, Dr. Nathans understands the pain. His experience is a testament that there is a way out, and his mission is to help others reclaim their lives from pain.
