About Spinal Decompression
Spinal disc decompression therapy is a new alternative for treating a herniated disc in the spine. Until now, the main options for treatment were surgeries that could involve cutting away bone and placing rods, and doses of pain-killing medicines that often lead to addiction.
In non-surgical spinal decompression, a patient is placed on a special type of table on the pelvis and rib cage. The back is gently stretched over a number of treatments, allowing the disc to re-hydrate and heal. Research has shown an 86 percent success rate with decompression. It is designed for patients who have not had back surgery but can help with prior surgery patients.
The table was designed by a neurosurgeon to treat herniated discs, ruptured discs, sciatica, bulging discs, degenerative discs, posterior facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis/arthritis. It also has been used after failed low back surgery.
