Spinal decompression is an non-invasive solution to herniated or bulging discs, employing a motorized traction device that gently stretches and relaxes the spine.

Negative pressure within spinal discs can reposition herniated material and allow healing nutrients to replenish them; however, not everyone has access to specialized medical-grade decompression tables.

The Y-Strap

As its name implies, the Y-Strap gets its appearance and function from its distinctive shape. Used as a decompression tool by stretching and pulling on your spine to relieve pressure from spinal discs and alleviate herniated discs, headaches, or neck pain, it helps break up any tight spots in your spinal column that could otherwise lead to herniation, headaches or neck pain. read more

Massage therapists who accept insurance can bill clients’ health insurance companies directly, which can increase clientele while making services more cost-effective for your customers.

However, this is not something you can implement into your practice overnight – in order to be eligible, there will be several requirements you need to fulfill first.

Check with Your Insurer

Massage therapists seeking to bill insurance must become familiar with CPT codes (Current Procedural Terminology). CPT codes are widely used in the medical industry and provide a standard for codifying individual procedures; their paperwork will help secure reimbursement from clients’ health insurers. read more

X-rays are essential to chiropractic care as they allow chiropractors to see the full picture and spot any potential issues early, helping to ensure treatment can begin immediately if there are issues – they’re especially useful if there has been a recent trauma injury.

Chiropractors use x-rays to assess spinal misalignments and injuries, then create an individual treatment plan tailored specifically for you based on this data.

X-rays are a diagnostic tool

When it comes to chiropractic treatment plans, x-rays are essential diagnostic tools that enable chiropractors to provide patients with top care. X-rays are invisible electromagnetic waves that pass through the body and bounce off hard surfaces like bones or other hard materials before being captured on photographic plates and shown as images on photographic plates. These images can show bone fractures or misalignment which requires professional help in diagnosing. When having in-house x-ray capabilities available allows chiropractors to offer customized and comprehensive therapies designed to alleviate pain, restore mobility, or improve posture for their patients. read more

Chiropractors use spinal decompression to reshape and relieve pinched nerves in your back. Chiropractors utilize spinal decompression techniques in order to reshape discs that cushion vertebrae (back bones), so as to keep them from colliding every time you move.

Wake Forest chiropractors utilize specialized tables that employ vacuum pressure to retract herniated discs, providing oxygen, water and healing nutrients into injured discs.

What Is It?

The spine contains cushions called discs between its vertebrae that act like shock absorbers when we walk, protecting each bone from collision with each step. If one of these discs becomes bulging or herniating, this places pressure on nearby nerves that transmit pain signals back to your brain and body. While conventional medical solutions for herniated discs involve back surgery – an expensive and painful proposition – our chiropractor offers non-invasive spinal decompression techniques which work like vacuum forces to sock herniated discs back into place without surgery – we use our non-invasive decompression technique which utilize vacuum forces that will suck herniated discs back into place without surgery! read more

Children often suffer bumps and bruises as a result of regular play activities, as well as micro trauma caused by repetitive movement. A chiropractor is specially trained to detect such micro traumas – called subluxations – and correct them.

Chiropractic adjustments for infants and children use very gentle fingertip pressure to restore mobility to spinal joints that have become dysfunctional, which may inhibit proper nervous system function. It’s highly safe for both babies and children. read more
