About Decompression Therapy
The Spinal Disc Decompression Table is designed to alleviate the underlying problems that cause the pain, and facilitate the natural healing of discs. With precise and painless computer controlled tension, the specific disc segment is gently distracted to reduce the pressure inside the disc.
The SpineMED™ Table comfortably and accurately increases intersegmental disc space, providing non-surgical decompression of discs. Tears in the disc annulus can be repaired, and sufficient fluids and nutrients can be introduced into the nucleus to reverse the disc degeneration and collapse resulting from injury. Rehydration of the disc nucleus can restore disc height, relieving the pressure on inflamed facet joints.
It is a medical fact that damaged intervertebral discs seldom heal on their own, as the discs are constantly under pressure. The Decompression Table uses clinically proven principles to reduce the pressure inside the discs. Decompression facilitates the transfer of fluids, nutrients, and oxygen back inside the discs and results in the retraction of bulging or herniated discs, providing welcome relief of nerve pressure and pain.
Through recent clinical trials, utilizing MRI, pre and post treatment on a similar table, disc herniations were reduced 10% to 90%, depending on the number of treatment sessions. Patching and healing of the annulus was also evident.
A typical daily treatment consists of 30 minutes of decompression. All treatments are administered with the patient fully clothed. The patient is comfortably positioned on the table, and comfortably secured to a fixed part of the table. The table section will be electronically tilted, so that specific spinal segments can be targeted with precise and painless computer controlled tension. The specific disc segment is gently distracted to reduce the pressure inside the disc. The treatment is so comfortable, most patients fall asleep. Most patients will find relief of their symptoms between 5 and 10 sessions, while the average recommended course of treatment is 20 sessions. Ideally, the sessions are performed daily with a rest on the weekend.
At the conclusion of the treatment series, when the disc injury has been corrected, patients are given mobilization and strengthening exercises to avoid repeat injury.
After only a few weeks of treatment, research has shown outstanding results in relieving the debilitating pain caused by degenerative, bulging, herniated or ruptured discs, as well as sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, and many failed back surgery cases. Most patients are able to return to normal levels of activity or recreation in just a few weeks time.
