Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression offers hope where to those who suffer from acute pain or chronic back or neck pain caused by a bulging disc, herniated disc or disc degeneration,that could not be treated using traditional methods such as medication, physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture.

The spinal decompression procedure is an advanced form of traction therapy that is commonly used in many centers of Chiropractic and Physiotherapy. However, spinal decompression is more precise: it allows to isolate a disc in particular, which is damaged, and apply a controlled traction force to this level only. It is precise and painless. The treatment was applied three to five days a week for four or five weeks, for a total of 20 to 25 visits.

Spinal decompression creates a negative pressure inside the disc, which sucks the herniated inside and reduces the bulging disc. The disc is re-hydrated and absorbs the nutrients it needs to regenerate due to the decrease in pressure. During treatment, patients can listen to music, watch a DVD, or even sleep. Spinal decompression is a safe, non-surgical treatment.
