Non surgical spinal decompression is a procedure delivered by a computerized medical device, which gently reduces the pressure on specifically targeted discs, releasing any pinched nerves and relieving chronic back and neck pain.
The gentle stretch and release protocols create a vacuum effect to encourage retraction and repositioning of any bulging or herniated disc material to its original position, giving the disc the opportunity to heal and rehydrate.
The surgical procedure, in comparison, is either a Microdiscectomy, which is the surgical removal of the disc material or a Laminectomy, which is the surgical removal of a portion of the vertebral bone.
Non Surgical Spinal Decompression has been used, for many years, to treat successfully treat a range of conditions:
Sciatica
Joint problems
Painful sports injuries
Degenerated discs
Back pain
Neck pain
Failed back surgery
If you’re looking for relief from chronic lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, bulging or herniated discs, non surgical spinal decompression treatments could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THEORY
Reversing the axial load, through decompression, relieves the pressure on the disc(s) and entrapped nerves. This promotes enhanced circulation to the affected area, which in turn aids the healing process, reducing inflammation and resulting in regained mobility and pain relief.
WHAT DOES A TREATMENT INVOLVE?
Once comfortably positioned, the unique program will be set to deliver the exact gentle force required during the 20 minute treatment. This is a painless process where the patient is comfortable and relaxed during the process.
IS IT A PAINFUL PROCESS?
No. Some patients may experience temporary soreness, a sign that muscles have been worked in a new way, but once total relaxation is achieved this is alleviated.
