What is it?

Using a special table and decompression computer, a non-surgical spinal decompression or motorized traction is applied to the spine. This traction takes the pressure off of the discs in the spine by creating negative pressure in the disc. “As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This, in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.”

What does it Treat?

  • Protruding/bulging/herniated/ prolapsed discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Posterior facet syndrome

  • Acute facet problems

  • Radicular pain (pain down the arms or legs)

  • Spinal root impingement

  • Hypomobility

  • Degenerative joint disease

  • Joint or disc pain

How does it work?

Decompression is achieved by using a specific combination of force of pull, angle in degree of pull and varying time in order to create a negative pressure inside the discs of the spinal cord. This reversal of pressure creates a vacuum inside the disc that helps to draw in bulging discs and extruded disc material back into place, taking pressure off pinched or irritated nerves.  Spinal experts believe that nutrients, oxygen, and fluids are drawn into the disc to create a revitalized environment conducive to healing for both herniated and degenerated discs.

who should not have this treatment?

  • Structural disease due to tumor or infection

  • Patients with vascular compromise

  • Acute strain/sprain or inflammation aggravated by traction

  • Joint instability

  • Pregnancy

  • Osteoporosis

  • Hiatal hernia

  • Cardiac or pulmonary problems
