BENEFITS OF SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

• Provides Pain Relief
• Promotes healing of spinal disc tissues
• Helps restore normal spinal disc and joint alignment

• Relieves pressure on spinal nerves
• Accelerates effectiveness of other healing approaches

Precision Spinal Decompression is achieved when intra-discal pressure is reduced. This occurs when the patient is captured optimally, spinal segments are targeted directly with minimal force on the torso and no reflex contractions or spasms are triggered. Reducing intra-discal pressure may help draw the nucleus of a herniated disc back into the center.

Traditional Traction and Other Devices – causes the exact opposite result. By capturing the upper torso and not tilting the pelvis, significantly more force is applied throughout the entire torso. This can result in reflex contractions and spasms causing increased pressure on the disc space. Increasing intra-discal pressure can cause a herniated disc to be forced further out from the center.

The SpineMED Difference

Achieving effective decompression depends upon the ability to distract to spine without eliciting reflex muscle contractions or spasms. Designed to Overcome Reflex Contractions.

SpineMED- the TRUE spinal decompression device!

While there are many technologies being marketed as “Decompression Systems”, SpineMED is truly unique and provides several key advantages through its patented technology.

• Most devices utilize nylon harnesses and straps to capture the patient and to apply distraction forces to the spine. This application of forces can often trigger reflex muscle contraction, which can then actually cause compression of the discs through reduced intervertebral space. In addition, these devices require very high force, and employ a protocol which require 50% to 75% of patient body weight.

• SpineMED’s patented design captures the pelvic crest directly and provides direct transfer of the distraction forces to the spine through the pelvis, rather than through the torso. This efficient mechanism requires only 10% to 15% of patient body weight for lumbar treatment. SpineMED is so gentle that patients do not feel any force during lumbar treatment.
