How Can SpineMed™ Therapy Help Me?

Herniated and degenerated discs are among the most common causes of lower back pain. The SpineMED™ Table is specifically designed to treat these types of conditions.

It is a medical fact that damaged intervertebral discs seldom heal on their own, as the discs are constantly under pressure. The SpineMED™ Table uses clinically proven principles to relieve pressure on vital structures of the lumbar spine and spinal nerves, reducing the pressure inside the discs. Because of this, the SpineMED Table can actual aid in healing the disc. Click on the video screen on the left column of this site to see how spinal decompression can help your disc.

During normal activities, the pressure inside the lumbar discs typically ranges between 100 mm/HG to 300 mm/HG.

Spinal Disc Decompression can reduce the pressure inside the discs to approximately -150 mm/HG, shrinking disc herniations, and drawing in necessary fluids and nutrients.

Through recent clinical trials, utilizing MRI, pre and post treatment on a similar table, disc herniations were reduced between 10% to 90%, depending on the number of sessions performed, while patching and healing of the annulus was also evident. The researchers also found increased water content in the disc, or rehydration of the nucleus.

The SpineMED™ Table is designed to comfortably and accurately increase intersegmental disc space, providing non-surgical decompression of lumbar discs. The object of decompression is to reduce the pressure inside the disc and facilitate the transfer of fluids, nutrients and oxygen back inside the disc (decompression, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning). Reduction of intradiscal pressure - the pressure inside the disc, can result in the retraction of bulging or herniated discs, and welcome relief of nerve pressure. Tears in the disc annulus can be repaired, and sufficient fluids and nutrients can be introduced into the nucleus to reverse the disc degeneration and collapse resulting from injury. Rehydration of the disc nucleus can restore disc height, relieving the pressure on inflamed facet joints.

The SpineMED™ Table is not just aimed at treating symptoms but is designed to alleviate the underlying problems that cause low back pain and facilitate the natural healing of the discs.
