It is a fact that damaged intervertebral discs seldom heal, as the discs are constantly under pressure, even while you are at rest.  The Spine Med Table uses clinically proven principles to non-surgically decompress the spine and reduce the pressure inside the discs.  Decompression, or the reduction of pressure inside the disc facilitates the transfer of fluids, nutrients and oxygen back into the disc and results in the retraction of bulging or herniated disc material, providing welcome relief of nerve pressure and pain.

During normal activities, the pressure inside the discs typically ranges between +100 mm/HG to +300 mm/HG (HG=Mercury).  SpineMed Spinal Decompression can reduce the pressure inside the discs to approximately -150 mm/HG, shrinking disc herniations and drawing in fluids and nutrients necessary for healing to occur.

SpineMed Spinal Decompression is designed to facilitate the natural healing of the discs.  Previous research of this technology found that the treatment provided "good" to "excellent" relief in 86% of patients with multiple disc herniations or bulges and in 91% of patients with single level herniations or bulges.

With precise and painless computer controlled tension, the specific disc segment is gently distracted to reduce the pressure inside.  A typical daily treatment session consists of 30 minutes of decompression on the SpineMed Table.

Treatment on the SpineMed Table is so comfortable, that most patients will fall asleep during the therapy session.  Most patients will find relief of their symptoms within 2-3 weeks after beginning treatment.

In some cases, after the disc injury has been corrected, patients may be gven mobilization and strengthening exercises to prevent further injury or aggravation.  If you'd like to schedule an appointment for a free consultation, call us today at 650-328-2104.
