#2 Relieving the Pressure: A Deep Dive into Spinal Decompression
In this episode of Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Michael Bryan unpack one of the most effective, non-invasive tools for addressing disc issues, chronic back pain, and nerve compression: spinal decompression therapy.
We explain what spinal decompression is, how it works, and why it's different from other approaches to back and neck pain. You’ll learn who can benefit most from this therapy, how it supports healing by reducing pressure on the spine, and how we integrate it into a broader wellness plan alongside chiropractic care, nutrition, and tissue regeneration strategies.
If you've been told surgery is your only option—or you're just curious about long-term, drug-free solutions for spinal health—this episode is a must-listen.
