Spinal Decompression
Amarillo, TX
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical solution for disc-related syndromes of the lumbar or cervical spine. It utilizes certified precise computer-controlled tension to gently stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the discs and joints, enhancing the natural healing process.
Spinal Decompression Therapy has been medically proven to reduce pain and alleviate symptoms and conditions related to:
- Herniated/Bulging Discs
- Degenerative Discs
- Chronic Neck/Back Pain
- Sciatica
- Radiculopathy
- Arthritis or Facet Syndrome
- Spinal Stenosis
- Pre/Post Surgical Patients
The Decompression Table
A Spinal Decompression Table is designed to alleviate the underlying problems that cause pain and facilitate the natural healing of spinal discs. With precise, painless, controlled tension, the specific disc segment is gently distracted to reduce the pressure inside.
The Decompression Table comfortably and accurately increases intersegmental disc space, providing non-surgical decompression of discs. Tears in the disc annulus can be repaired, allowing sufficient fluids and nutrients to be re-introduced into the nucleus to reverse the disc degeneration, bulging discs, and collapse resulting from an injury. Rehydration of the disc nucleus will restore disc height, relieving pressure on inflamed facet joints.
It is a medical fact that damaged discs seldom heal independently, as they are constantly under pressure. The Decompression Table uses clinically proven principles to reduce the pressure inside the discs. Decompression promotes the transfer of fluids, nutrients, and oxygen back inside the discs and results in the retraction of bulging or herniated discs, providing relief of nerve pressure and pain.
According to recent clinical trials, utilizing MRI, pre, and post-treatment on a similar table, disc herniations were reduced by 10% to 90%. Patching and healing of the annulus were also evident.
A typical treatment consists of a predetermined recommended time on the decompression table. All treatments are administered with the patient fully clothed. The patient is positioned on the table and comfortably secured to a fixed part of the table. Table sections will be tilted to target specific spinal segments with precise and painless controlled tension. The specific disc segment is gently distracted to reduce the pressure inside of the disc. The treatment is comfortable, and some patients fall asleep. The recommended course of treatment will be determined after a full consultation and examination are performed.

– Boris B.
After completion of the corrective treatment, patients are given strengthening exercises to avoid repeat injuries. After only a few weeks of treatment, research has shown excellent results in relieving the debilitating pain caused by degenerative, bulging, herniated, or ruptured discs, sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, and many failed back surgery cases. Most patients can return to normal levels of activity or recreation in just a few weeks.
