How Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work?
Non-surgical spinal decompression allows patients to achieve relief from severe back by gently reducing the pressure within lumbar discs. The vertebrae of the lumbar spine are slowly and specifically separated using the computer control of the Chatanooga Tritan DTS Spinal Decompression Table. As the bones are separated, pressure is slowly reduced within the disc until a vaccuum is formed. This vaccuum “pulls” the jelly-like center of the disc back inside thereby reducing the disc bulge or disc herniation. By reducing the disc bulge, we are able to reduce pressure off the spinal nerves which are so close to the disc. This process drastically reduces pain and disability. The “sucking” vaccuum also pulls much-needed oxygen, nutrients and fluid into injured and degenerated discs allowing the healing to begin. Because the process is non-surgical, no tissue is actually cut in order to reduce pressure. Notice how the separation of the spinal bones seen in the illustration above increases the
