ABOUT SPINAL DECOMPRESSION
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for certain types of chronic back pain. Mechanical decompression works by slowly and gently stretching the spine, taking pressure off compressed discs and vertebrae. Spinal decompression is one of the most exciting medical treatments developed in many years, since it demonstrates good statistical results for long term pain relief.

If you suffer from lower back or disc pain; spinal decompression is probably the very best physical treatment option available to you. Best of all, all forms of noninvasive decompression therapy allow the patient a much needed alternative to back surgery.
Spinal Decompression Treatments“Cox” therapy claims to decrease interdiscal pressure and increase the foraminal openings between vertebrae. Patients are instructed to come to therapy sessions more often at the beginning of treatment and decrease in frequency as the pain is relieved. 70% of properly treated patients with indicated spinal conditions reported good curative results from Cox. 91% noticed at least some improvement. The average patient will be in treatment for approximately a month and undertake 12 to 15 sessions on the decompression table.
During Spinal Decompression Therapy, the therapist will control all the movements of the machine manually and will maintain touch contact with your body to concentrate treatment on the area which needs attention. The machine moves slowly and gently in a specific path and has a variety of motions available to the care provider to treat virtually any area of the spine.
Spinal Decompression ConditionsThe most common spinal condition treated with decompression treatment is a herniated disc. Spinal compression can cause disc herniations to expand, putting pressure on surrounding spinal nerve roots. Decompression treatment takes the pressure off these damaged discs so that the disc bulge will shrink back closer to its original size. If you are suffering from degenerative disc disease, a herniated disc or other spinal problems and your physician is considering surgery, you may want to think about spinal decompression therapy first. Spinal decompression therapy has been shown effective in treating degenerative discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, herniated discs and spinal stenosis. Studies tell us that spinal discs are generally responsible for many of the aches and pains that people suffer from. Spinal discs do not oxygen and fresh blood every time the heart beats. Many times diffusing the discs with decompression and motion can enhance healing and restore the needed nutrients back into the discs. It should be noted that spinal decompression therapy will not cure musculoskeletal conditions. An individual who has spinal curves, a loss of muscle control and abnormal posture will not be cured with spinal decompression therapy. Spinal decompression therapy works and relieves referral pain for people who have non-acute back and neck pain that is not the result of a disease or injury. Individuals who have chronic back pain, degenerative disc disease or herniated discs report that relief is found with spinal decompression therapy. Spinal decompression therapy involves traction therapy. During therapy a patient will be positioned properly and go through phases of distraction and relaxation. Once the problem spinal disc is isolated it can be placed under pressure which makes a vacuum effect. The vacuum does two things. First, any portion of the disc that has herniated or protruded outside of where it should be can be repositioned and placed back where it should be. Second, the vacuum effect brings in a fresh blood supply which can promote healing. Individuals who should not have spinal decompression therapy are individuals who have severe osteoporosis, the severely obese, the severely nerve damaged or women who are pregnant. In addition, individuals who are elderly are not good candidates for spinal decompression therapy. However, each case is individual and every person who is interested in spinal decompression therapy will be evaluated to see if he or she would make a good candidate. Spinal decompression therapy usually takes approximately one hour to perform. Patients usually have therapy treatment three times a week, though some patients will have it five times a week. Most patients find relief within a dozen or so sessions. Before you go under the knife and opt for spinal surgery, you should seriously consider spinal decompression therapy. More than 70 percent of patients who have spinal decompression therapy report success. Surprisingly, these numbers are comparable to the results of spinal surgery. In fact, many people who have had spinal surgery in the past and who still have pain are finding that spinal decompression therapy can help them. However, it should be noted that individuals who have had a previous spinal surgery will not be good candidates for spinal decompression therapy if they have an unstable spine.
