NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY
Philadelphia, PA
Spinal decompression by SpineMed refers to a non-surgical, traction-based therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and alleviate symptoms associated with conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and other spinal disorders. The SpineMed system is a specific type of spinal decompression therapy device.
During a SpineMed session, the patient is secured to a specially designed table, and the machine applies controlled and targeted traction to the spine. This traction force aims to create a negative pressure within the spinal discs, promoting the retraction or repositioning of herniated or bulging discs. The overall goal is to reduce compression on spinal nerves and improve blood flow to the affected area, fostering the natural healing process.
Proponents of spinal decompression therapy claim that it can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall spinal health. It is often considered a conservative and non-invasive alternative to surgery for certain spinal conditions. However, it's essential to note that the effectiveness of spinal decompression therapy can vary from person to person, and not all individuals may experience the same benefits.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, doctor controlled, hands-on spinal manipulation. The table works by applying controlled traction to the spine, creating a negative pressure within the spinal discs. This process aims to alleviate pressure on the discs and surrounding structures, promoting healing and relieving symptoms associated with various spinal conditions. Here's a breakdown of how spinal decompression works:
-
Patient Positioning:
The patient is secured to a specially designed table, often in a prone (face-down) or supine (face-up) position.
-
Traction Force:
The SpineMed machine applies a controlled and targeted pulling force to the spine. This force is typically computerized and customized based on the patient's specific needs.
-
Negative Pressure:
The traction force creates a negative pressure within the spinal discs. This negative pressure may help retract or reposition herniated or bulging discs.
-
Relief of Compression:
By reducing pressure on the spinal discs, spinal decompression aims to relieve compression on spinal nerves and other structures, potentially alleviating symptoms such as pain, numbness, or tingling.
-
Improved Blood Flow:
The negative pressure created during spinal decompression may enhance blood flow to the affected area, facilitating the delivery of oxygen and nutrients essential for the healing process.
-
Promotion of Healing:
The overall goal is to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms, allowing damaged or degenerated spinal discs to heal and function more effectively.
