You feel like you have tried everything under the sun to get rid of that back or neck pain. You aren't able to do the "normal" things you always could do, like cut the grass, exercise, play with your children, work in the garden, or just take a simple walk. Some days you say to yourself, "I would do anything to get rid of this pain!"

You feel like you have no choice and you may have to find a way to live with this pain for the rest of your life. You don't want to have surgery because you know after going through all of that there is no guarantee it will be any better. Well, you aren't alone. Millions of people around the world suffer with debilitating back and neck pain.

The good news is, spinal decompression therapy is a safe and pain-free procedure for lower back and neck pain. Spinal decompression is one of the most exciting medical treatments developed in many years, and has shown good statistical results for long term pain relief. It is also FDA approved.

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive, non-surgical technology that is able to provide real relief to millions of people who suffer with back and neck pain. This therapy is a form of traction that cycles through phases of distraction and relaxation, while also maintaining proper positioning. Spinal decompression is a term that describes the relief of pressure on one or many pinched nerves (neural impingement) of the spinal column. It gently relieves pressure that builds up on the discs that can indirectly cause spinal nerve pain that radiates into the arms or legs.

The patient is placed onto an instrument, they are belted in, and it separates their lower body from their upper body. During this procedure, the nutrient rich blood fills the disc space which fosters the healing response, causing the disc material to get sucked back into the joint space and the outer layer is made stronger by stimulating the cartilage to regenerate which in turn helps to prevent re-injury. It also allows for strengthening of the outer cartilage bands that hold the disc material in place, as well as aiding muscles and ligaments that can become weak and stretched during the bulging process.

Spinal decompression has been proven effective in relieving the following problems: pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), posterior facet syndrome, whiplash syndrome, and even relapse or failed back surgery, arthritis and other spinal conditions.

This therapy not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles. Spinal decompression has great potential in treating a large number of people who might not otherwise be able to regain their health or ability to enjoy pain-free living without the restrictions and risks associated with back surgery.
