NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy, is non-invasive, and typically does not involve pain medications. The treatment is not only safe and painless, but also comfortable and relaxing. The course of therapy includes approximately 20 treatment sessions over 4-6 weeks. Each procedure is performed with a unique physio-therapeutic device and is performed by a certified clinician, specializing in back pain care. The treatment sessions are brief, lasting approximately 30-45 minutes.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy, or Computerized Spinal Decompression, distracts the vertebrae surrounding an injured disc 5 to 7 millimeters. The 30 to 45 minute treatment provides static, intermittent, and cycling forces on structures that may be causing low back pain. During treatment, IntraDiscal pressure is dropped from positive mercury to negative mercury. This negative pressure promotes the diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the vertebral disc area, thereby re-hydrating the degenerated disc. Repeated pressure differential promotes retraction of a herniated nucleus pulpous (the elastic core of the intervertebral disc). Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy can:
- Reduce pressure on the vertebral joints.
- Promote retraction of herniated discs.
- Promote self-healing and rehabilitation of damaged discs thereby relieving low back pain.
WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY?
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is proven and effective. The procedure has been studied extensively, has been clinically validated and thousands of patients have been successfully treated. The complications from surgery can be severe and may result in debilitating conditions. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is painless and involves no recovery time. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is convenient. Treatment sessions last only 25 to 30 minutes. And because the procedure is non-invasive, most Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy patients can carry-on with normal daily activities. Additionally, patients can expect only minimal absence from work.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is cost-effective.
Computerized Spinal Decompression is cost effective, especially when compared with more labor intensive treatment options or with surgery. And, in most cases, financing is available for those without insurance or with less than comprehensive insurance. Several payment options are available and a monthly payment plan can be a much better financial decision than a 10% or 20% insurance co-payment on back surgery.
IS SPINAL DECOMPRESSION RIGHT FOR YOU?
CAN YOU AVOID BACK SURGERY?
If you have serious back pain, herniated discs or sciatica, you may benefit from the breakthrough medical technology of Axial Spinal Decompression. Offering new hope for back pain sufferers, non-surgical spinal decompression has a high success rate in the treatment of serious back conditions and is considered the most promising non-surgical disc treatment today. With the assistance of Computerized Spinal Decompression, the treatment becomes a very precise procedure.
Conditions that have been successfully treated with Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy include:
- Herniated and Bulging Discs
- Failed Back Syndrome
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Chronic Neck or Back Pain
- Sciatica – Facet Syndrome
SPINAL DECOMPRESSION PLAN & PROGESSION CHART.
Once the number of sessions is determined, and on the day of the session, patients are treated fully clothed and are fitted with a pelvic harness that fits around their pelvis as well as a thoracic harness as they lie face down, or face up on a computer controlled table.
The expert operates the table from a computerised console, where a customised treatment protocol is entered into the computer. Each treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes. The average treatment protocol is approximately 20 to 28 treatments within a four to seven week period of time, depending on the individual’s case.
The therapy may also include electric stimulation, ultrasound, thermotherapy (heat), and cryotherapy (cold) before, during, and/or after the treatment. Your doctor will use these therapies when appropriate. All of the above aid to accelerate the healing process.
Although there is no procedure that is 100% successful, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy has a high success rate with full compliance on the part of the patient. Your doctor will recommend that you refrain from certain activities and that you engage in a certain rehabilitation program either during or after your therapy. If you adhere to your prescribed therapy, you will enhance your chances of success.
Drinking at least a half-gallon of water per day will enhance the re-hydration process within the discs. Your physician will also recommend some nutritional supplements that will aid in the healing process.
