Called Decompression Therapy, it can end the stabbing, burning, tingling and shooting pain in your back, hips, legs, neck, and arms within a few short weeks

Back painIf you're like most patients we see today, you've suffered from back pain, hip pain, neck pain, arm pain, or leg pain for far too long-maybe decades. And you've tried virtually everything-bed rest, over-the-counter medications, prescription pain killers, injections, traction and maybe even surgery - and so far, nothing's worked. You're still in pain. 

Great news, something is working and decompression is the answer!

How Does It Work?

To understand how it works, lets look at the low back and its structure.

Unlike other structures in your body, discs don't have a very good blood supply, so once they're damaged they don't heal very well. A disc gets its nutrition from the bones above and below it through a pumping motion that increases with movement. But once a disc is damaged or torn, it loses its ability to maintain hydration and becomes dry and brittle. This leads to further damage, inflammation, degeneration and more pain.

Decompression is a FDA-approved therapy (facilitated by a computer and monitoring device) that enables a doctor or therapist to gently, precisely and safely put tension on the lower back and create a negative pressure inside the disc.
  • This negative pressure creates a vacuum effect that actually draws the bulging or "slipped" material back into the center of the disc.
  • It also draws fluids into the disc -- helping it rehydrate and heal.


 
Unlike other treatments for back pain, decompression technology actually heals the discs and makes them healthier.

Most other treatments like medication and injections only cover up the pain until it wears off or you aggravate
your back again. Not spinal decompression. In a recent study done on previous decompression patients 4 years after their treatment, researchers found that over 91% continued to be pain free.
