Decompression Therapy

The spine is a column that contains more than 25 bones, masses of nervous tissue, and layers of membranes. This part of the body is vital to human survival and is required for nearly every movement—from thought-out actions like playing a violin to reflex movements like pulling away from a hot pan. Because the spinal cord is such an important part of every day life, problems in this area can be extremely painful and debilitating. The American Chiropractic Association reports that about 31 million Americans suffer from lower back pain. In addition, back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide Spinal Manipulation Chiropractors, doctors who specialize in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, utilize several therapies to help with back pain. The most common is spinal manipulation, an adjustment of the spinal column using pushing, pulling, and twisting movements. Other popular therapies include hot and cold therapy and physical therapy. One method that is gaining ...

This therapy which is only available in a few clinics in Dubai, can help patients suffering from low back pain, herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome and more, without the need for painful surgery or drugs. Our doctors use a combination of Chiropractic treatment, Physiotherapy, Massage therapy and Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy to help you to recovery. You may be suitable for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy if: • You have chronic or severe back or neck pain, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica,        and/or facet syndrome. • You have had failed back surgery. • You have been advised to consider surgery but you’re looking to a non invasive alternative. How does the treatment work? The patient lies on the Decompression table and a program is entered into the computer to target the exact spinal disc level or area in need of treatment. During treatment p...

Spinal decompression therapy is a modern, non-surgical traction procedure that effectively treats low back, neck, and radiating leg and arm pain. This type of traction is very successful in relieving pain associated with spinal disc herniation, degenerative spinal discs, and facet joint syndromes. Spinal decompression therapy decompresses spinal discs and facet joints by utilizing traction, distraction, and body positioning. Research to develop this procedure was conducted by prominent physicians, engineers and technicians at major teaching hospitals. Our Triton Decompression Traction System is FDA approved and has been clinically proven to provide pain relief and decrease symptoms associated with herniated and/or bulging discs. Studies have shown that the spinal disc injury is responsible for a significant number of lumbar/leg pain and neck/arm pain syndromes. Excessive compression forces from daily activities increases internal spinal disc pressure which can lead to s...

In nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy , the spine is stretched and relaxed intermittently in a controlled manner. The theory is that this process creates a negative intradiscal pressure (pressure within the disc itself), which is thought to have two potential benefits: A harness is placed around the hips and is attached to the lower table near the feet. The upper part of the table remains in a fixed position while the lower part, to which the patient is harnessed, slides back and forth to provide the traction and relaxation. One difference between various decompression therapies is the patient's position on the table: Some devices place the patient in the prone position on the table, lying face down (e.g. VAX-D) Some devices have the patient lying supine, face up (e.g. DRX9000) The patient should not feel pain during or after the decompression therapy although they should feel stretch in the spine.

Spinal Decompression Therapy involves stretching the spine, using a traction table or similar motorized device, with the goal of relieving back pain and/or leg pain. This procedure is called nonsurgical decompression therapy (as opposed to surgical spinal decompression, such as laminectomy and microdiscectomy). This article provides an overview of nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy and its role in treatment of lower back pain and neck pain. Looking for surgical decompression information? Laminectomy Microdiscectomy This procedure is called nonsurgical decompression therapy (as opposed to surgical spinal decompression, such as laminectomy and microdiscectomy). This article provides an overview of nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy and its role in treatment of lower back pain and neck pain. Clinical Evidence While the fundamental theory of spinal decompression is widely accepted as valid, there is a lack of evidence supporting ...
