Solving The Puzzle of Pain : Spinal Decompression
What Is Non-surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a special form of traction therapy that combines a gliding, non-friction table and a specialized computer pulling head that can gently pull and release at specific patterns and weight. When used together, and incredibly comfortable and effective decompression can be applied to the neck and low back regions.
The result is an amazing treatment for many spinal conditions including herniated, slip or bulging discs, neck & low back pain, radiating leg and arm pain, and much much more.
What conditions respond to a nonsurgical spinal decompression?
Many conditions can be treated with Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, but the most researched and commonly treated are spinal disc injuries such as herniated or bulging discs. Disc injuries that used to require dangerous and expensive spinal surgery can now be treated non-surgically with spinal decompression treatment. As a matter of fact...medical studies including one study documented by MRI up to 90% reduction of disc herniations in 10 of 14 cases, and other studies reported that the majority of herniated disc patients achieved "good" to "excellent" results after spinal decompression therapy!
Anyone who has back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a damaged disc may be helped by spinal decompression therapy. These conditions include herniated, protruding or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica or even failed surgery.
What decompression system is best?
All nonsurgical spinal decompression systems work on the same principle, however there are some important differences!
Many of the early decompression systems were very expensive and manufactures made them with fancy computer screens, TVs, and impressive cabinets so they could charge big bucks. They also made claims such as the ability to target specific spinal segments that have recently been disproved!
The newer systems such as the one we use at Pecan Valley Chiropractic, are simple, yet much more effective and efficient than some of the earlier more expensive units. For example; the computerized pulling head that we use manufactured by Chattanooga, is an award-winning device for its innovation and effectiveness. Our system allows us to treat patients face up or face down, and in many different positions. This is vital not only for comfort, but also for effectiveness. Our system also allows for cervical as well as low back treatment.
Dr. Brad Cudnik and Dr. Taylor have over 30 years of combined experience and offer patients a unique treatment experience found only at Pecan Valley Chiropractic.
