Decompression Therapy

Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical procedure that effectively treats disabling low back, neck, and radiating leg & arm pain.

Decompression Therapy effectively relieves pain associated with disc herniationa painful rupture of the fibrocartilage of the disc between spinal vertebrae; occurs most often in the lumbar region, degenerative discs, and posterior facet syndromeswhen the facet joints, or the joints connecting the vertebrae, become inflamed, causing pain and stiffness by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning.

Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle.

Research to develop this procedure was conducted by prominent physicians, engineers and technicians at major teaching hospitals.
