Spinal Decompression
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal Decompression provides relief to severe back pain sufferers by gently reducing the pressure within spinal disks. The bones of the spine are slowly and methodically separated using a state-of-the-art non-surgical Spinal Decompression Unit. The theory behind it is that as the vertebrae are separated, pressure is slowly reduced within the disk (intradiskal pressure), until a vacuum is formed. This vacuum "sucks" the gelatinous center of the disk back inside, thereby reducing the disk bulge or disk herniation, Disk bulge reduction removes pressure off the spinal nerves and reduces pain and disability. It also pulls much-needed oxygen, nutrients and fluid into injured degenerated disks, allowing the healing to begin.
Spinal Decompression is Gentle and Painless
The treatment motion is computer-controlled to provide gentle and painless decompression of the injured spinal disks. Advanced decompression techniques separate slowly, and cycle between brief moments of pulling and relaxing (oscillation). This reduces protective muscle spasm. (These spasms contributed to the poor outcomes of outdated "traction" techniques.) Spinal Decompression also incorporates advanced angulated elongation methods to target specific disks of the spine (for example: L5/S1 at the base of the spine). "Angulated Elongation" refers to the angle at which the healing decompression force is applied. This allows the treatment to rely less on brute force and more on finesse to rehabilitate individual spinal disks.
Dr. Moleski has performed Spinal Decompression over 2950 times. Our experience is that even “hopeless” cases can often be helped. After being in practice for 30 years, I have seen many patients who have come in for care for low back and leg pain caused by disk problems. I hated having to tell them that there was nothing that could be done except surgery. Patients now have a very real complementary and alternative treatment to conventional care that has not really been available before. We are very pleased to be able to offer you this state-of-the-art medical technology.
