*Spinal Decompression is the unloading of the discs due to non-surgical positioning.
|
All
procedures are administered with the patient fully clothed. For
lumbar procedures,
the patient is comfortably positioned on the table, and the (patent
pending) Pelvic Restraints are adjusted to comfortably secure the patient’s
pelvis. The upper torso is captured by a comfortable securing system
incorporated into the fixed section of the table. The Pelvic Tilt section
will be electronically tilted, so that specific
spinal segments can
be targeted. With precise and
pain-free computer controlled tension,
the specific disc segment is gently distracted.
For
cervical procedures, the cervical unit is first electronically tilted
to the angle required to target specific segments of the
cervical spine.
The patient is then placed on the table with their head positioned in
the cervical cradle unit. The Cervical Restraints (patent pending) are
designed to
comfortably capture the base of the patient’s skull
for controlled distraction. A typical daily session consists of 30 minutes
of decompression on the SpineMED® Table followed by 15 minutes of
ice therapy. The process is
pain-free and safe, and it is not uncommon
for patients to
fall asleep during the procedure.
The average recommended course of procedure is 20 sessions. Ideally,
the sessions are performed daily with rest on the weekend.
At the conclusion of the procedure series,
patients are given mobilization
and strengthening exercises to avoid further injury.
