Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression

Serving residents of Coral Springs, Parkland, Tamarac, Margate and Coconut Creek

The majority of spine and disc injuries come from traumas that typically involve a form of spinal compression. The pressure created from compression injuries can bulge or herniate the discs pushing them against the nerves.  From my experience, these injuries require a very specialized therapy program such as the DOC.

DOC offers an expanded therapy protocol, which may be just what you require in order to find effective treatment for highly specific back pain and neck issues. Doctor Fronzaglia is an experienced Chiropractor serving Parkland, Tamarac, Margate, Coconut Creek and Coral Springs,FL who will provide advanced spinal decompression treatment at a reasonable cost.

The DOC Spinal Decompression System can dramatically affect the pain associated with spinal injuries and conditions. Best of all, it’s the MOST COMFORTABLE BELTING SYSTEM I’ve ever used! Making it easier for you to relax and get more out of the treatment.

Basic Disc Anatomy:

Structured like a “jelly doughnut”, the disc is made of two materials.

A) The Inner Material called the “Nucleus Pulposis”: This is the inner gelatinous center that acts as a ball-bearing shock absorber (like the inner jelly of the doughnut).

B) The Outer Material called the “Annulus Fibrosis”: Surrounding the inner nucleus pulposis is the outer annulus fibrosis. The outer annulus fibrosis is made up of rubber-band like layers of fibro-elastic cartilage tissue. Its job is to contain the inner nucleus pulposus (like the outer doughnut contains the inner jelly).

The migration of the inner disc “nucleus pulposis” (jelly) through the outer “annulus fibrosis” (doughnut) is called a herniated disc.
