Reverse High Intra-Disc Pressure

When pressure builds up inside the disc, it causes bulging of the jelly-like disc material. With increasing or prolonged pressure, it often leads to a disc rupture or herniation which spills out the disc material.

The bulging or spilled out disc material is what puts pressure on the nerves and other structures that cause pain. This pain can travel into the buttocks and down the legs or into the toes. It can cause numbness and also lead to dysfunction.

Decomression relieves pain by creating a vacuum type suction which reverses the high pressure inside the disc (high intra-disc pressure) and draws the bulging or herniated material back into the disc. This procedure is called non-surgical spinal decompression and has a high success rate in patients with herniated discs. This is truly a medical breakthrough.

Patient Evaluation

Our doctors will conduct a thorough initial history, perform a phsical evaluation, review all data and combine it with with any complexities involved. They use the information to make decisions to be certain the patient qualifies for the decompression procedure.

The Treatment Program

The primary goals for the doctor are to make an accurate diagnosis and thoroughly inform the patient of their condition so they completely understand their options for care. It takes into consideration the diagnosis, severity of the condition, level of risk, accompanying factors and any complexities that may be involved.

A typical treatment program is spread over a few weeks. Successs is reported to be 86% with herniated discs and higher for the other conditions with most patients well or better. There are not documented cases of anyone worsening from the procedure.

Additional support is available if necessary in the form of nutrition, foot/shoe orthotics to stabilize gait if required, special "Tens" (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator) unit to be worn at home to block pain impulses from the nerve.

We will provide instructions for home or self-care and recommend any restrictions of work or activities as part of our patient education program.

Patients come to us for the relief of pain and to live their lives to the fullest and that's what we give them.

Common Questions

What is the Decompression program?
Decompression is an effective spinal rehabilitation program for conditions of the spine (primarily low back), with focus on chronic and severe cases. The program consists of FDA-cleared, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy focused on decompressing the discs to reverse high amounts of pressure built up inside the discs to take the pressure off of the nerves. Support is provided to assure the patient is comfortable during care.

What kind of conditions does the Decompression program treat?
Disc problems of multiple varieties as bulging discs, degenerated discs, herniated discs or ruptured and protruding discs of the lumbar spine (low back), as well as joint arthrosis, facet syndrome, sciatica, mild spondylolisthesis and stenosis.

What are my chances for success?
The American Journal of Pain Management reports an 86% chance of success for patients suffering from herniated intervertebral discs. It's higher for other conditions.

What is the cost for the decompression therapy?
Good news! The cost is reasonable and we provide everyone the opportunity to receive decompression therapy. We've eliminated the worry of finances by offering flexible payment plans and we also offer financing at low rates so everyone can now afford the scientific discovery of non-surgical spinal decompression. Patients can now take as long as they like to pay for their care. During your consultation, the doctor will determine if you are a candidate and fully explain to you how much it will cost before starting care.
