Patients remain on the system for 30-45 minutes, daily for the first 2 weeks, three times a week for the following 2 weeks, and followed up by two times a week for the last 2 weeks.

Most patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, significant improvement is obtained by the second week of treatment. See similar questions...

Traction is helpful at treating some of the conditions resulting from herniated or degeneration. Traction cannot address the source of the problem. The Spinal Decompression creates a negative pressure or a vacuum inside the disc. This effect causes the disc to pull in the herniation and the increase in negative pressure also causes the flow of blood and nutrients back into the disc allowing the body's natural fibroblastic response to heal the injury and re-hydrate the disc.

Since I began using the Spinal Decompression spinal disc decompression unit, I’have been inundated with questions from both doctors and patients as to which cases it will best help. Obviously proper patient selection is essential to favorable outcomes, so let me explain to you of the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria so you may make the right decision since not everyone qualifies for Spinal Decompression treatment.

NO. Spinal Decompression is totally safe and comfortable for all subjects. The system has emergency stop switches for both the patient and the operator. These switches (a requirement of the FDA) terminate the treatment immediately thereby avoiding any injuries. See similar questions...

Sessions times are between 30-45 minutes, daily for 5 weeks. Though, the number of sessions may vary depending upon the severity of the condition. See similar questions...

Most patients complete treatment in about a year. There are regular visits with the dentist during treatment to make sure the treatment is progressing as planned. See similar questions...

Decompression techniques provide relief by separating the bones of the spine reducing the pressure within the disc (intradiscal pressure) Disc decompression treats the source of the pain – pain caused by disc bulge or disc herniation pressure More advanced methods use oscillation to reduce muscle spasm that could work against the decompression motion More advanced methods also direct the treatment to specific levels of the spine by varying the angle of decompression making the treatment mo.

Spinal decompression therapy can effectively treat: Disc Herniations (Low back pain and/or leg pain/numbness & Neck pain and/or arm pain/numbness ), Degenerative Disc Disease, Arthritis, Facet Syndrome, Spinal Stenosis, Failed Back Surgery/Post Surgical Pain Syndrome. See similar questions...

Spinal stenosis can be treated initially by decreasing the inflammation and the swelling on the nerves so that they fit a little bit better in the space that is still available. When there is no response to conservative treatment, then surgical treatment may be required. Surgical treatment for spinal stenosis consists of removing the material that is producing the stenosis, such as bone spurs or pieces of bone from fractures. Spinal stenosis is a slowly progressive condition. See similar questions...

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a proven safe and effective means to treat severe and chronic cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) conditions. The program consists of FDA-registered non-surgical Spinal Decompression equipment focusing on discal and arthritic conditions affecting the spine. See similar questions...
