Decompression is most commonly used to refer to a surgical procedure used to relieve pressure or alleviate pain on an organ or body part, such as the abdomen, cranium, or spinal cord. A pinched nerve can be caused by conditions such as spinal stenosis, herniated disc and spondylolisthesis.

Spinal Decompression therapy is the result of applied traction when negative pressure is created within the intevertebral disc during the treatment.

Decompression therapy can now be associated with the non-surgical treatment of Spinal Decompression. This method of therapy is non-invasive and effective in treating spinal conditions such as herniated discs.

It is important to choose educated and knowledgable healthcare practioners when choosing any type of spinal treatments.

Because Spinal Decompression is publicly considered a "new alternative" to Back Pain relief it is vital to seek out the best healthcare providers offering this therapy. It is important that they be familiar and knowledgable about this type of revolutionary treatment. The Back Pain Institute in La Quinta, CA has a wonderfully skilled and knowledgable team of healthcare practioners treating our patients, helping them relieve their Back Pain for the long term.

Low Back Pain has become one of the most significant medical problems in today's world. The statistics on the magnitude of the problem are overwhelming, and the number of chronic back cases continues to grow each day. 

Often, the symptoms of Back Pain are treated with drugs, hot and cold packs, bed-rest, chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy, exercises, acupuncture, TENS, epidural injections, prolotherapy, and different types of surgery. Many of these are simply aimed at providing a temporary reduction of symptoms without altering the underlying disease process.

A SPECIFIC NON-SURGICAL SOLUTION

Decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment for chronic Back Pain and neck pain from degenerative disc and facet joint disease. Non-surgical spinal decompression with DRX90000 is an effective and safe procedure without any of the risks associated with surgery, injections, or anesthesia. Time off work or recovery is minimal, and resolution of symptoms can be long lasting.  A new study published in 2008 showed that patients had significantly improved pain and disability scores at end of treatment, at 30 days and at 180 days post-discharge. Another study reported that after four years following the cessation of treatment, 91% of these patients reported long term relief of their pain with continued normal function.

Before resorting to a surgical approach, it makes sense to try a conservative procedure. If a patient doesn't recover in the first two months, the initial benign problem may become a chronic situation. This is why it is vital that a patient begins treatment early.

DECOMPRESSION THERAPY can relieve the pain associated with herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome and radicular (nerve root) pain. Patients can avoid the merry-go-round of addictive drugs and non-specific treatments.

More than 3000 patients a day now receive decompression therapy in the US. Results from all of the independent sources (hospitals, private clinics, clinical studies) show levels of success in the range of 7+ out of 10 people.
Decompression therapy has been used by the best professional sports figures including those in the NBA, NFL, NHL, Olympic athletes and more.

The results with true non-surgical decompression are real, and based upon research published in peer-reviewed medical journals.

Despite what other doctors would like you to believe, all decompression devices are not equally effective. For those of you who are researching 'spinal decompression' (either patients or other physicians), we would advise you to seek out the published clinical research studies that have been done.
