Back Pain Due to Bulging, Degenerated & Herniated Discs, Spinal Stenosis
Do you suffer from back pain due to degenerative disc disease, herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis or other spinal problems? Has your physician suggested you consider surgery? You may want to consider spinal decompression therapy first. Spinal decompression therapy has proven effective in treating degenerative discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, herniated discs and spinal stenosis. If you have already had surgery, spinal decompression therapy can still be considered if you suffer from failed back surgery syndrome.
Spinal discs do not get oxygen and fresh blood consistently. Decompression and motion can enhance healing by restoring the needed nutrients back into the discs. During therapy, you will go through phases of distraction and relaxation. Once the problem spinal disc is isolated it can be placed under pressure which creates a vacuum effect. The vacuum does two things. First, any portion of the disc that has herniated or protruded will return to where it should be. Second, the vacuum effect brings in a fresh blood supply which can promote healing.
Spinal decompression therapy typically takes up to 20 minutes to perform. Every case is unique and a customized treatment plan is recommended for each individual who is a candidate. Sometimes patients find pain relief within a few sessions. For those who are candidates and follow the recommended guidelines, spinal decompression has proven to be highly effective. Before you opt for surgery, explore the possibility of spinal decompression therapy.
Where To Begin
Determining if you are a good candidate for non-surgical disc decompression therapy is a two step process. First, we will review your history (including imaging studies) and perform an examination that utilizes orthopaedic, neurologic and laboratory tests. This will reveal important information about your condition. If we determine after the first step that you may be a good candidate for care you will be required to undergo a suitability test. This is a complimentary, no obligation, two treatment trial on our decompression table. If we deem that you have passed this test we will present your proposed program of care. Let our experience and training, which is unequalled in Canada, help you get back to a normal lifestyle.
