Healing your injury is one part of your treatment. Your treatment will be combined with muscle strengthening exercises. Regular exercise will help to maintain your back and neck health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence.
We are Cervical & Lumbar Traction/Decompression Experts
The Doctors are trained experts in the operation of the computerized Traction/Decompression table. The adjustable decompression table has the ability to adjust in three dimensions allowing the Doctors to treat your severe back conditions and cervical spine conditions. Your comfort during treatment is priority number one.
Most treatments are completed in less than an hour.
Ease of your positioning and stabilization on the table adds to your comfort level. The restraint you wear when on the table is what allows the unloading of the spine and discs by the traction motor. It is a gentle distraction that allows for your accurate and focused treatment.
You will feel gentle stretching and a sense of relief and relaxation
The gentle stretching and relaxing of your spine fosters a phenomenon called “imbibition”. In the simplest of terms, this is the way your disc gets nutrition. This pumping action promotes nutrition intake into your discs, something often lost in damaged and degenerative disc conditions.
You should notice a reduction in your pain after only a few sessions.
You must complete your prescribed treatment plan in order for you to get full healing results. The incorporation of a therapeutic exercise program is imperative to your full recovery.
