Why “spinal decompression?”
If you're suffering from sciatica, herniated disc, back pain, neck pain, or degenerative disc disease, spinal decompression might be the answer.
Spinal decompression therapy is designed to gently stretch the spine and relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. Dr. Matthew K. Mortensen at Lake Mead Chiropractic uses spinal decompression to reduce back and neck pain, improve mobility, and support healing from conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease. By creating more space between the vertebrae, decompression can reduce nerve irritation, helping patients to say “good-bye” to pain and stiffness and "hello" to living life.
