Spinal Decompression Traction

Spinal Decompression Traction

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
 

advan2.JPG Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical traction based treatment outcome for herniated or bulging discs in the neck and lower back. Anyone who has back, neck, arm or leg pain may be helped by spinal decompression therapy.

How many spinal decompression sessions will be needed, what is the cost, and are the treatments painful?
 

The number of sessions needed and your specific treatment plan will be determined by the doctor after your examination.  Based on current research, the best results have been achieved utilizing 7-20 sessions over a 6 to 8 week period. 

In almost all cases, the treatments are completely painless.  In fact, some patients fall asleep during the spinal decompression session.

What type of decompression system is used, and are the doctors certified in spinal decompression therapy?

After a significant amount of research, our office chose what we believe to be the most sophisticated, technologically advanced, state-of-the-art decompression system in the world, the Kennedy Decompression Table. We also selected this decompression system due to its ability to treat discs in both the neck and the low back.

In regard to clinical skills, Dr. Smith completed the Kennedy Decompression Technique course work and passed the qualifying examination to achieve the status of  "Certified Practitioner" in spinal decompression therapy.

What Makes Spinal Decompression Therapy so Effective?
 


Doctor skill combined with the table and computerized traction head are the keys.

Proper assessment, correct positioning and the use of preprogrammed patterns of distraction and relaxation may reduce disc pressure allowing necessary nutrients to enliven and accelerate disc healing.
