Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

      Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is non-surgical, 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 minutes.

How Does it Work?

      Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy distracts the vertebrae surrounding an injured disc 5 to 7 millimeters. The 25 to 30 minute treatment provides static, intermittent, and cycling forces on structures that may be causing low back pain. During treatment, intradiscal pressure is dropped from a positive 25 millimeters mercury to a negative 150 millimeters 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 pulposus (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.

Studies show that Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy has an 86% success rate in treating serious and debilitating back pain, even in cases with multiple herniated discs and sciatica.
