It is estimated that about 70% of the population will experience neck and back pain at some point in their life time.

• Chronic back pain can last a life time and can affects activities of daily living.
• Some treatment options mask the pain with medications.
• Surgery is considered as last resort.
• Non-surgical pain relief – spinal decompression therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for chronic back pain.

What is Spinal decompression Therapy (SDT)?

• SDT is a computer-guided mechanical device to apply carefully controlled cycles of gentle stretching and relaxation movements to help expand the space between vertebrae in your back.
• These spaces can be narrowed as degraded or damaged disc move out of positioned distort the normal positioning of structure within your spine.
• SDT is based on principles of spinal traction. But unlike fixed traction. SDT offers a cyclic stretching and relaxation action which helps prevent muscle spasm and enables damaged or degraded discs to move back to normal position.
• As is open the space between vertebrae, SDT also promotes healing by pulling nutrient rich fluids back into damaged disc.

Conditions you can treat with SDT

• Degenerative disc disease
• Facet syndromes
• Herniated and bulging discs
• Sciatica and other condition related to nerve impingement.
• Spinal stenosis (Narrowing of spinal canal)
• Worn spinal joints (Posterior facet syndrome)

Is SDT safe?

• SDT is a safe and often very effective in treating chronic back pain without surgery.

Contraindications for SDT

• Osteoporosis
• Certain types of cancer
• Spinal fusion
• Fractures of spine
• Pregnancy

Sessions required for SDT & Duration

• Each session takes 30-45 minutes.
• Good result expected after 10-20 sessions.

Non-surgical Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain.

• SDT works by gently stretching the spine.
• That changes the force and position of spine.
• The changes take pressure off the spinal discs by creating negative pressure in the disc.
• As a result, bulging or herniated discs may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine.
• It helps to promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.
