Who is a candidate for Decompression Therapy?
People with acute and chronic neck and lower back pain can benefit from decompression therapy. The procedure will provide relief to anyone that has pain associated with disc herniations, disc protrusions, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, posterior facet syndrome, sciatica and generalized back pain.What makes Decompression Therapy different? Decompression therapy utilizes a computer-controlled logarithmic contraction sequence of variable weight and tensions, which can create up to 200 mm of negative intradiscal pressure, retracting the disc herniation to promote tissue healing.
