WHAT IS SPINAL DECOMPRESSION?
Non-Surgical Therapy , that is traction based. This procedure cycles through distraction and relaxation phases and by proper positioning, a spinal disc can be isolated and placed under negative pressure, causing a vacuum effect within it. So how does this negative pressure affect an injured disc? Because of that negative pressure, disc material can be pulled back within the normal confines of the disc, and permit healing to occur. 

HOW DOES SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY DIFFER FROM REGULAR TRACTION?
The computer is the key. It controls the variations in the traction pull allowing for spinal decompression and eliminating muscle guarding that is typical in conventional traction devices. The pre-programmed patterns for ramping up and down the amount of axial distraction allows for higher levels of spinal decompression and disc rehydration.

EFFECTIVE FOR:
Degenerative disc disease/degenerative joint disease, muscle spasms, ruptured discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, facet syndrome and failed back surgery.

ARE THE SESSIONS PAINFUL, HOW MANY WILL BE NEEDED AND WHAT IS THE COST?
In almost all cases the treatments are painless. In fact, some patients fall asleep during the spinal decompression session.

Pulse Chiropractic Clinic

The specific treatment plan will be determined by the doctor after your examination.

Based on current research and our clinical experience the best results have been
achieved utilizing 20 sessions over a six to eight week period.

DO MOST PATIENTS RECEIVE THERAPY AND REHABILITATIVE EXERCISES IN ADDITION TO spinal decompression?
To reduce inflammation and assist the healing process, supporting structures are treated with passive therapies( ice, heat, muscle stimulation, light therapy), chiropractic adjustments (as indicated) and/or active rehabilitation in order to strengthen the spinal musculature.
