Disc health can be improved! Degenerative discs, bulging and even herniated discs, can be successfully treated in our office with our SpineMed decompression table and advanced corrective techniques.
Damaged intervertebral discs seldom heal as the discs are constantly under pressure. Decompression, or the reduction of pressure inside the discs, facilitates the transfer of fluids, nutrients, and oxygen back inside the disc, promoting the retraction of bulging or herniated discs.
The SpineMED® Procedure
All procedures are administered with the patient fully clothed. For lumbar procedures, the patient is comfortably positioned on the table, and the Patented Pelvic Restraints are adjusted to comfortably secure the patient’s pelvis.
The upper torso is captured by a comfortable securing system incorporated into the fixed section of the table. The Patented Pelvic Tilt section will be electronically tilted so that specific spinal segments can be targeted. With precise and pain-free computer-controlled tension, the specific disc segment is gently distracted.
For cervical procedures, the cervical unit is first electronically tilted to the angle required to target specific cervical spine segments. The patient is then placed on the table with their head positioned in the cervical cradle unit. The Cervical Restraints are designed to comfortably capture the base of the patient’s skull for controlled distraction. A typical daily session consists of 30 minutes of decompression.
The SpineMED® System, they are followed by adjunct modalities. The process is pain-free and safe, and it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during the procedure. The average recommended course of procedure is 20 sessions. Ideally, the sessions are performed daily with rest on the weekend. After the procedure series, patients are given mobilization and strengthening exercises to avoid further injury.
Is the SpineMED® Procedure For Me?
The SpineMED® System has been shown to be safe and without side effects or complications once abnormal conditions have been ruled out. Patients with conditions that compromise the integrity of the spinal column, such as gross osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis grade 2 and above, fractures, tumors, or congenital pars defects, are not candidates for Spinal Disc Decompression.
Previous spinal surgery is not contraindicated unless hardware (screws, rods, cages, pins, etc.) has been implanted in the spine.
The minimum age for the SpineMED® procedure is 16 years. Maximum age to be determined by your healthcare practitioner, based on your health and physical condition.
