VAX-D Spinal Decompression and Cox Distraction for Sciatica Treatment
Sciatica is a collection of symptoms that can occur when you have injury to or compression of the sciatic nerve. Symptoms can include lower back pain, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and nerve pain. At SunCoast SpineCare: Chiropractic Neurology, Dr. Jay Schwartz, chiropractor and chiropractic neurologist, specializes in VAX-D spinal decompression and Cox distraction for sciatica treatment in Bradenton, FL. Here is a look at what to expect.
Why Consider Spinal Decompression for Sciatica?
Spinal decompression is a gentle yet effective alternative to spinal surgery. It addresses the root cause of sciatica symptoms by relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve and accelerating healing of the spine and surrounding soft tissues. If more conservative treatment options have been ineffective or if your symptoms are worsening, spinal decompression can offer long-term relief.
What Is VAX-D Spinal Decompression?
Vertebral axial decompression (VAX-D) is a nonsurgical treatment that uses a motorized table to slowly and gently stretch the spine. This relieves pressure on the spinal discs and compression of the sciatic nerve and creates negative pressure that draws fluids and nutrients into the spine. After a series of treatments with Dr. Schwartz, you can find relief from lower back pain, stiffness, inflammation, and other sciatica symptoms.
What Is Cox Distraction?
Cox distraction is a type of chiropractic adjustment that uses a specialized treatment table to gently stress and decompress the spine. It is a safe, effective treatment option for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and other conditions that cause sciatica symptoms. This approach is so effective for sciatica because it is gentle and low-force, so it may relieve pressure on spinal nerves and improve range of motion in the spine without causing pain or requiring a lengthy recovery period.
