SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

Spinal decompression

Decompression is a device that is controlled through an on-board computer that controls the force and angle of disc distraction, which reduces the body’s natural tendencies to seize up and generate muscle spasm. This enhanced control allows the table to apply a traction force to the discs of the spinal column reducing intradiscal pressure, creating a hydrating environment for the disc and to relieve pressure on the nerves.

Decompression is used to treat conditions that result in chronic back and neck pain such as disc bulge, disc herniation, sciatica and spinal stenosis. The total treatment time last between 10 and 15 min being pulled at intervals of 45 seconds and relaxed for 10 seconds.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal Decompression is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment for low back pain that is safe, effective, and has helped thousands of people like you return to normal active lifestyles. This breakthrough treatment is non-invasive, comfortable and often so effective that many patients who have been in pain for years feel better in just a few treatments.

How does it work?

Spinal Decompression treatments painlessly decompress the disc(s) in your lower back, relieving pressure on the affected nerves and structure of the spine. Each treatment session lasts just about 30 minutes. The course of therapy typically involves about 20 treatment sessions, with most patients experiencing relief within 6 sessions.

Why does it work?

Spinal Decompression relieves the pressure that builds up on your discs and nerves. Pain is relieved by moving areas of the herniated disc back into place by creating negative pressure, which in turn draws disc material back into the disc space and relieves the pressure.

In bulging discs, the outer ligament bands that hold the disc material in place become weak and stretched. Decompression allows these bands to strengthen.

and 87% were either still working or had retired without back pain as the cause.
