Intervertebral Disk Decompression
Disc Decompression Therapy - Intervertebral Disc Decompression is a proven treatment for the relief of lower back pain. With a significant success rate, thousands of patients have experienced dramatic pain relief and healing.
Disc Decompression is an approach for the relief of lower back syndromes, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Posterior facet syndrome
- Sciatica
- Acute or chronic back pain
Intervertebral Disk Decompression Therapy is non-surgical, non-invasive, and typically does not involve pain medications. The treatment is not only safe and painless, but also comfortable and relaxing. The course of therapy includes approximately 20 treatment sessions and is completed in about 35 days. The sessions are brief, lasting approximately 30 minutes.
How does Intervertebral Disk Decompression work?
herapy can isolate each lumbar vertebra (L1, L2, L3, L4 or L5) and distract the vertebrae surrounding an injured disc. The 25 to 30 minute treatment provides static, intermittent, and cycling forces on structures that may be causing low back pain.
Negative pressure promotes the diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the vertebral disc area, thereby re-hydrating the degenerated disc. Repeated pressure differential promotes retraction of a herniated nucleus pulposus (the elastic core of the intervertebral disc).
The Therapy treatment can reduce pressure on the vertebral joints, promote retraction of herniated discs, promote self healing and rehabilitation of damaged discs, thereby relieving low back pain. Several sessions are required to achieve optimal results.
We use the ATX Decompression Table in order to deliver this treatment. After each Decompression treatment we will also perform an ultrasound treatment. Please call the office in to get more information.
