What is spinal decompression and how does it work?
A. Decompression is FDA-cleared technology that relieves pain by slowly increasing the spacing between the vertebrae, creating a vacuum, or negative pressure within the disc. In doing so, it provides or restores nutritive and/or lubricating fluids and oxygen into dried, dehydrated, desiccated tissues to maintain or reestablish the health, structural shape and positional orientation of that tissue. Spinal decompression, in essence, rehabilitates an injured disc. During the therapy, you are lying down and comfortably harnessed to the table while computer-guided controls slowly decrease your intradiscal pressure. The therapy is relaxing, and most patients fall asleep during treatments.
