Spinal Decompression
Chances are, you have heard the term 'Spinal Decompression' on radio, TV, in an article, or from someone you know. However, there are many different types of spinal decompression, some more reliable and effective than others. Spinal decompression is a non-surgical and medication-free alternative procedure that can reduce or eliminate back pain from a number of causes.
Spinal Decompression can benefit:
- Herniated Disc
- Degenerative Disc
- Sciatica
- Radiculopathy
- Facet Syndrome
- Spinal Stenosis
- Pre / Post Surgical Patients
Dr. Salvatore researched all of the technologies available,
taking the time necessary to select what he feels is the best spinal decompression method available anywhere for his practice and patients -- The SpineMED system.
What Does Spinal Decompression Do?
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 resulting in the retraction of bulging or herniated discs.
During normal activities, the pressure inside the lumbar discs typically ranges between 100 mm/HG to 300 mm/HG.
