SPINAL DECOMPRESSION REPORT

What Is Spinal Decompression?

It works by gently stretching the spine, which creates negative pressure in the spinal disc, a gel-like cushion between the bones in your spine, and relieves pressure on the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated discs retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This, in turn, helps promote the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, allowing them to heal. Decompression of the spinal neural elements is a key component in treating spinal radiculopathy. Spinal decompression has a very high success rate for bulging/ herniated discs and degenerative disc disease.

How It Works

Decompression therapy experiences minimal-to-no side effects, making it the ideal alternative to spine surgery and as a non-surgical back pain treatment. The benefit of spinal decompression includes no downtime, no hospitalization, and no opioids. It helps to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and to restore the hydration in between discs.

Is Decompression Therapy Right for You?

Decompression Therapy is a highly successful treatment for patients suffering from bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs as well as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many failed back surgery cases.

This treatment helps patients avoid the risk of anesthesia, surgical complications, and the potential of failed back surgery.

Decompression therapy begins with a series of sessions, typically 3-4 times per week. Each session is approximately 8-12 minutes. During each session, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, or therapeutic laser may be applied to help relax muscles and promote further healing of injured tissues.

• No Surgery
• No Opioids
• All natural

Get Out Of Pain. Get Back To Life.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
This gentle, non-surgical procedure can provide lower back and neck pain relief, sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art procedure for, bulging, herniated, or degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar regions.

The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You’ll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduates to a peak over a period of several minutes.

The noninvasive approach can be used to treat all kinds of conditions, including:

• Back Pain
• Neck Pain
• Disc herniation
• Degenerative discs

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month. Most patients feel pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments, and are released from treatment after 8 weeks.

A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal the disc, but to also enhance muscular control and support of the back and neck.

Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office will help in maintaining your spinal health, and reduce the probability of re-occurrence. Clinical results of this procedure have been effective in over 75% of the patients treated, and most patients find long-term relief or effective management of their pain when they complete the entire program of treatments.

Surgical Alternatives (When Needed)

If decompression therapy isn’t suitable—due to neurological symptoms or lack of improvement—surgical options may be necessary, including:

• Microdiscectomy: Minimal removal of herniated disc material to relieve nerve pressure.

• Laminectomy or other decompression surgeries: Removing parts of bone or tissue to reduce spinal canal pressure  

These procedures are typically considered after conservative therapy has failed or in the presence of severe or progressive symptoms.
