Effective Treatment: Conditions

Spinal Decompression has been proved an effective treatment for:

• Bulging and Herniated Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Facet Syndromes
• Spondylolisthesis
• Spinal Stenosis
• Carpal Tunnel
• Migraines

Herniated disc is the most common spinal condition addressed with decompression treatment. Herniated discs are often the result of improper loading patterns of the disc from the spine. They often manifest themselves following trauma, although trauma is rarely the direct cause. Decompression treatment takes the pressure off these damaged discs creating an environment that can be conducive to the disc healing.

Degenerative disc disease is also a common condition treated with decompression therapy. Loss of disc height causes the vertebral bodies to move closer together. This can cause nerve irritation and other forms of common back pain. Decompression eliminates the overwhelming pressure on degenerated discs reducing or eliminating painful symptoms.

Facet joint syndrome is yet another condition treated with spinal decompression. Conceptually, facet syndrome causes pain due to arthritic changes in the vertebral bones. Decompression can allow for a decrease in inflammation surrounding the facet joint resulting in pain reduction.

Is Spinal Decompression the same as Inversion Therapy?

Spinal Decompression utilizes computerized technology that creates a biofeedback loop between the patient and the computer. This allows the computer to sense tension that is being created by the patient, allowing the patient’s muscular units to relax. Inversion therapy has been proven to be ineffective because of the inability of the human body to stay inverted for any useful length of time, PLUS the extreme pain that is felt from the rush of blood to the head.
