Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression is a comprehensive program, not just a table!

Spinal Decompression serves to

• Increase blood flow, improving nutrition to the disc to aid in healing and reduce inflammation
• Decrease intradiscal pressure
• Promote the regression of disc herniation
• Reduce neurocompression

When combined with the proper technique, axial spinal decompression therapy can stretch the spine to open disc spaces and IVFs.

Annular and nuclear material may be drawn back in by the negative pressure created by the decompression*

^ Success Rates: If the MRI indicates 0-3mm disc protrusion 95%, 3-5mm 90%, 5-7mm 80%, over 7mm 25% decompression therapy will resolve the herniation.

Who may benefit from Spinal Decompression?

The best candidates are patients who have any of the following conditions:

• Herniated disc
• Degenerative disc
• Facet syndrome
• Failed spinal surgery
• Failure to improve with at least 2 non-operative conservative treatment measures.
• Chronic lumbar or cervical pain without any clear causation

Spinal Decompression is

• A cost effective alternative to surgery for many people
• Able to be used in those with previous surgical complications
• Is an option for those patients wanting surgery who have failed to pass the anesthesia assessment

Spinal Decompression has returned quality of life to thousands of patients around the world, and in the process, has revolutionized health care practices across the globe.

Spinal Decompression brings better outcomes, creates happier patients and attracts more income for health professionals……and now you finally have the opportunity, here in Australia, to experience these positive changes from Spinal Decompression!
