Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical answer for disc-related syndromes of your lumbar or cervical spine that uses certified, precise, computer-controlled tension to gently stretch the spine and take pressure off the discs and joints, enhancing the natural healing process.
Spinal Decompression Therapy has been medically proven to reduce pain and alleviate symptoms and conditions related to:
- Herniated/Bulging Discs
- Degenerative Discs
- Chronic Neck/Back Pain
- Sciatica
- Radiculopathy
- Arthritis or Facet Syndrome
- Spinal Stenosis
- Pre/Post Surgical Patients
The Decompression Table
A Spinal Decompression Table is designed to alleviate the underlying problems that cause pain and facilitate the natural healing of spinal discs. With precise, painless, controlled tension, the specific disc segment is gently distracted to reduce pressure within it.
The Decompression Table comfortably and accurately increases intersegmental disc space, providing non-surgical decompression of discs. Tears in the disc annulus can be repaired, allowing sufficient fluids and nutrients to be reintroduced into the nucleus to reverse disc degeneration, bulging discs, and collapsed discs resulting from an injury. Rehydration of the disc nucleus will restore disc height, relieving pressure on inflamed facet joints.
It is a medical fact that damaged discs seldom heal on their own, as they are constantly under pressure. The Decompression Table uses clinically proven principles to reduce the pressure inside the discs. Decompression promotes the return of fluids, nutrients, and oxygen into the discs and retracts bulging or herniated discs, relieving nerve pressure and pain.
According to recent clinical trials, using MRI and pre- and post-treatment on a similar table, disc herniations were reduced by 10% to 90%. Patching and healing of the annulus were also evident.
A typical treatment consists of a predetermined recommended time on the decompression table. All treatments are administered with the patient fully clothed. The patient is positioned on the table and comfortably secured to a fixed part of the table. Table sections will be tilted to target specific spinal segments with precise, controlled, painless tension. The specific disc segment is gently distracted to reduce intradiscal pressure. The treatment is comfortable, and some patients fall asleep. The recommended course of treatment will be determined after a full consultation and examination is performed.
“Dr.Cipriano is great! He has been helping me with my lower back pain for many years. He gets me on my feet in no time, and I am able to go back to work. He is very knowledgeable, personable, and has a great sense of humor. If you want to get well fast, go and see him, you will not be disappointed!”
– Boris B.
After completion of the corrective treatment, patients are given strengthening exercises to avoid repeat injuries. After only a few weeks of treatment, research has shown excellent results in relieving the debilitating pain caused by degenerative, bulging, herniated, or ruptured discs, sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, and many failed back surgery cases. Most patients can return to normal levels of activity or recreation in just a few weeks.
