Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical, comfortable, and soothing treatment to help in the management of serious low back/leg or neck/arm pain.  This treatment provides relief from pain, injury, stress and the daily physical impact that can compress the joints and disc of the spine. 

Spinal Decompression Therapy is directed at relieving pressure on structures that may be a major source of pain.  It can relieve the pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, and headaches. 

Spinal Decompression Therapy helps relieve this pain through decompression of lumbar and cervical discs and joints (that is unloading due to distraction and positioning).  While gently stretching the spine and reducing pressure on spinal discs we're increasing healing circulation to affected areas.  This cyclical, painless stretching reduces pressure and promotes blood and fluid flow.  This helps improve healing naturally and is of great help to sufferers of debilitating neck, low-back, or sciatica pain. 

A recent study of Spinal Decompression Therapy demonstrated significant pain reduction in 70% of patients who engaged in a complete series of treatments.  Not only did they report a decrease in pain, but an increase in function and range of spinal motion. 

This safe, effortless therapy takes approximately 15-20 minutes per session and is one of the latest, most exciting and effortless treatments available to treat a host of low back and neck pain disorders, including degenerative arthritis, spinal stenosis, degenerated or herniated discs, facet syndrome, pinched nerves, and the leg/hip pain caused by sciatica.  
 

Digital Motion X-Ray®

is a diagnostic test that records real time, full motion x-ray imaging of any body joint in motion. It records at a rate of 30 frames per second. It is unlike standard Fluoroscopy that is used in the hospital where the X-ray machine is moved around the body part. We allow the body part being scanned to move. With Picture-in-Picture technology, you can watch the patient externally while seeing what is going on internally. This is new technology that objectively and visually demonstrates aberrant movement of bones, allowing the radiologist to specifically determine which ligaments or other soft tissues are injured. Motion x-ray imaging systems are used to visualize and evaluate all body joints in motion.
