Peter C. Spathis
Chiropractor
If you have been diagnosed with a cervical or lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or have symptoms such as neck and/or arm pain, back and/or leg pain, numbness, tingling or weakness we may be able to help! We have had great success in treating various types of disc herniations and spine related problems; in most cases, we can help our patients avoid having to have a surgical intervention such as a spinal fusion or laminectomy for these conditions. How can we do this? Instead of the more traditional chiropractic manipulation that may be provided for a spinal problems, the manipulation procedure that we use for disc conditions typically involves a low force technique aimed at reducing the pressure inside the disc and getting the bulged or herniated section to draw back to a more proper position and pulled off the nerve that it may be compressing. In addition to this, if the patient is an appropriate candidate, we use non-surgical spinal decompression - a mechanical traction based therapy - to assist in this process. An important added benefit of this therapy is that the intermittent nature of the traction causes repeated drops in pressure inside the disc which increases the flow of nutrients to this area and helps speed the healing process. Should you decide to receive care at our office, your initial visit will involve an examination where we will go over you condition and perform any appropriate orthopedic testing to further evaluate your specific type of problem. If you have already had testing performed for your condition - such as MRI, EMG, CT, etc - we recommend that you bring the test results with you (radiology reports are sufficient if you have them) or, if you prefer, you may fax these results to our office before your appointment. We are well known in Howell and the Livingston County area for our disc herniation and sciatica treatments but we also provide effective chiropractic care for other spinal conditions.

Whether it be a herniated disc, sciatica or other spinal problem, we look forward to seeing you and will do our best to help resolve your condition!
