Spinal Decompression Machine

Have you ever feared going to the chiropractor to get adjusted? Well, put your fears aside because there is now a safe, non-surgical and non-invasive technology that exists, which helps alleviate pain among many other chronic back conditions!

The spinal decompression machine uses a gentle chiropractic technique to stretch the spine utilizing computerized technology and mechanical traction. This treatment option is very safe and uses FDA cleared medical equipment to apply axial distraction forces to spinal structures in a precise and graduated manner using the best technology. Distraction is offset by cycles of partial relaxation. This technique of gentle touch chiropractic therapy has shown the ability to gently separate the vertebrae from each other, creating a vacuum inside the discs that is targeted.

The back decompression technology can control treatment duration, distraction/angle, intensity, and relaxation, and helps with degenerative discs, bulging discs, herniated discs, slipped discs, ruptured discs, sciatica, facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, chronic lower back pain, arm and leg pain, failed back surgery, and compression fractures.

Some of the benefits to using this low force chiropractic therapy, include: 

• Helps to restore disc function
• Forces to the spine are better and more effectively controlled
• Oxygen and nutrients are drawn into the discs
• Pressure within an intervertebral disc can be reduced, which helps to decompress discs and alleviate nerve pain 

Although there are many benefits to using this machine, the spinal decompression machine is not for everyone. Patients who are pregnant, obese, have osteoporosis, metallic spinal implants, fresh disc surgery, nerve damage from scarring, severe bony stenosis, Grade II or greater spondylolisthesis, cancer or tumors of the spine, infection of the spine, aortic aneurysm repair, or have the inability to life flat will need to be individually evaluated for treatment.

Many patients enjoy the treatment since it is quite comfortable and well tolerated, and many of them even fall asleep during treatment. With the aid of this gentle chiropractic therapy, the spinal decompression machine allows patients the chance of resuming a normal lifestyle.
