Pains in your lower or upper back may be the result of disc protrusion. Disc protrusion is a serious condition that should be handled immediately by a doctor. If you are living in LA, California and are suffering from back pain then the answer may lie at the Valley Spinal Decompression Center. Dr. Bruce Shannahoff, DC and his team of professionals have the necessary experience to get you back on your feet right away.
Spinal discs in your back are very important. They act as tiny shock absorbers for the vertebrae in your spine. They consist of a fluid jellylike material that is incased in a gelatinous shell. As one ages, the important fluid content in the discs decreases which makes discs more susceptible to disease. Disc protrusion occurs when the fibrous ring on the disc is impacted by gelatinous material from the nucleus pulpous (inner portion of the disc). This causes a general outward protrusion of the disc. Often times, the protrusion hits important nerves which cause a condition know as sciatica. Pressure on surrounding nerves can be very painful and cause numbness and tingling in the back and spine. Fortunately, there are multiple treatment options available.

The Valley Spinal Decompression Center offers many different techniques for the treatment of a protruding disc. One of the most revolutionary treatments is accomplished through the use of a DRX 9000 Lumbar Spinal Decompression Unit. This machine works by slowly stretching a patient's spine to allow for discs, bones and other parts of the spine to file back into their correct places. It also pulls discs apart, allowing for decreased pressure on surrounding nerves. Dr. Shannahoff is determined to provide all of his patients with extraordinary spinal care. He strives to create lasting relationships with his patients because he really cares about their well being.
