SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY FOR LOW BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN

Are You Suffering From Chronic Back Pain?

Treat Low Back Pain and Neck Pain caused by:

• Bulging/Herniated Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Facet Joint Syndrome
• Sciatica or Arm Neuralgia & Numbness

Without the use of:

X  Drugs

X  Injections

X  Surgery

Why Are You Living in Pain?  

A revolutionary new solution is now available. Spinal surgery should only be done when it is absolutely necessary. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy gives patients a more conservative treatment option that can eliminate the need for surgery altogether.

Now There’s Hope for Lasting Relief with Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy is a proven non-surgical, safe and effective solution for chronic low back and neck pain conditions without injections or surgery. It utilizes a special manual-assisted COX flexion-distraction decompression manipulation table.

It can help treat low back pain and neck pain and neuralgia caused by:

• Bulging/Herniated Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Facet Joint Syndrome
• Sciatica or Arm Pain & Numbness
• Poor Sitting Posture
• Text Neck Syndrome

Please contact us to arrange a initial consultation visit to determine if spinal decompression can help you. Bring any x-rays or MRI scans and reports you may have to review at the consultation visit.

The spinal decompression therapy program includes:

• Series of scheduled in-office spinal decompression table treatments
• Spinal rehabilitation therapeutic exercise trainings
• Maintenance care visits

A Proven Safe Non-Surgical Treatment for Back Pain

Manual Spinal Inter-Vertebral Decompression (SIVD) 

SIVD gently lengthens and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressures within the discs.  This reversal of pressure creates an intra-discal vacuum that not only takes pressure off of pinched nerves, but helps to reposition bulging discs and creates an opening of the facet joints to improve mobility.

This is a Manual Technique —  NOT by a machine
SIVD is a manual physician-assisted technique utilizing a special table with a method of cycling the patient through a series of gentle pulls, holds and releases.  The smooth movements are a comfortable and relaxing experience.  

Safe and Effective for All Ages - Even If You Are 90
A typical treatment regime consists of a series of  relaxing sessions of about 12 - 20 sessions over four to six weeks.  Some conditions require fewer visits, some require more.  Many patients report a significant relief from their pain and other symptoms during the first few treatments!  Most experience dramatic pain relief after the completion of their prescribed program.  Even post-surgical* patients and those suffering from certain types of spinal stenosis have reported significant pain relief. *Unfortunately patients with low back surgical hardware or cauda equina   syndrome are not candidates for this SIVD therapy

Does Your MRI Look Like This?

Spinal Inter-Vertebral Spinal Decompression Therapy has been proven to treat back pain and neuralgia caused by:

• Bulging Herniated Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Facet Syndrome
• Poor Sitting Posture
   

BEFORE TREATMENT

Spinal compression with bulging & degenerative disc with decrease in disc height and spinal facet syndrome

 

AFTER SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

The bulging disc material is repositioned, pressure on spinal nerves is reduced and normal facet joint function is restored

As quoted from WebMD (3/23/11) "Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This will take pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine.

Over time, negative pressure from this therapy may cause bulging or herniated disks to retract. That can take pressure off the nerves and other structures in your spine. This in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal."
