- Degenerative disc disease is a bit of a misnomer as its not actually a disease, rather its related to an aging spine is has discs that are breaking down or deteriorating. Often, this leads to severe pain in addition to causing a significant disruption in your ability to perform simple tasks of daily living. For many, this pain, numbness, or weakness radiates down the arm if in the cervical spine or the leg if in the lumbar spine
- The intervertebral discs that act as shock absorbers begin to wear out over time and thus don’t remain as functional as they once did. As unfortunate as this is, discs can be returned to a healthy and hydrated state through a process called imbibition via non-surgical spinal decompression.
- The degenerative process can be expedited if you experienced a prior trauma to your spine or repetitively stress it which only aggravates the discs. This does not necessarily affect every disc in the spine. Typically, discs in the lower lumbar spine and lower cervical spine are at risk. When undue forces are placed upon the spine, it can cause degeneration of the vertebra.
- While bones can be remodeled back to normal, there are non-pharmacological and non-surgical interventions to encourage the disc to proper health. Currently, the best treatment that targets discs is non-surgical spinal decompression. The process of degeneration can’t be reversed but can be slowed.
- When the discs lose fluid, the space between the vertebrae narrow. Non-surgical spinal decompression slowly relaxes and stretches the spine in a very specific way removing the downward force of gravity thus creating a vacuum phenomenon allowing oxygen, fluid, and nutrients back into the discs. This begins the healing process to get you back to what matters most.

Testimonials
I’ve been dealing with this weird left sided neck pain for two years now. I’ve done it all. I’ve done massage, heat, cold, cupping, traditional chiro, and physical therapy. Nothing was helping so I went to good ole tik tok and heard about the cervical atlas. I knew immediately this was my issue so I researched local providers who specialized in this and Dr. Lea stood out the most to me as he really seems to exhibit the most knowledge and expertise. So glad I chose him! Staff have always been super kind and helpful. My consult was very detailed and never felt rushed. I just finally felt heard. After X-rays and determining I did indeed have a misalignment with my atlas as well as a cervical compression. I agreed to 12 treatments and after the 1st I already felt better. In conjunction with changing some life style habits I’ve really really had such success with much less pain. I highly recommend Dr Lea! You won’t be disappointed!
