| How Does Spinal Decompression Work? |
When a disc is "decompressed" negative pressure is created within the disc which allows for the reintroduction of water, oxygen
and nutrients into the disc which heals the disc from the inside out. Decompression decreases the pressure within a damaged
disc allowing the disc to rehydrate which restores the normal height to the disc and reduces the irritation associated with the
damaged disc.
How is it done?
The procedure is painless and has been structured with patient comfort in mind. Patients are fitted with unique chest and lumbar
harnesses and then step onto the loading platform where they are reclined to the supine position. The harnesses are connected
to both the end of the table and to the control tower respectively. Arm supports are placed in the armpit region immobilizing the
upper torso. A special air bladder located in the lumbar belt is inflated creating a fulcrum that focuses treatment to the specific
lumbar disc level that is desired (L1 to L5). The lower pelvic belt is attached to the control tower, which is elevated 0 to 30
degrees above the patient. The procedure alternates angle of pull intervals of 60 seconds of decompression with 30-second
intervals of partial relaxation. The entire procedure, including set up time, takes approximately 30 minutes per session.
Decompression is achieved throughout the process creating up to 200 mm of negative intradiscuclar pressure retracting the
herniation and healing the damaged area. To promote healing and to relax the patient, some systems are equipped with a
stereo and even others have televisions attached.
What is the patient inclusion criteria (diagnosis)?
The Spinal Decompression tables are designed to provide static, intermittent and cycling distraction forces to relieve pressures
on structures that may be causing low back pain. Specific indications will include: chronic low back pain, disc herniation, disc
bulge, sciatica, degenerative joint disease, acute lumbosacral strain/sprain, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, IVF, facet syndrome
disc rupture, extrusion and some failed back surgeries.
What results can I expect?
Most patients are scheduled for 20 minute treatments over a 4-5 week period. Most see relief as fast as the first 6 treatments.
Pre and Post treatment MRIs have shown 50% reduction in the size and extent of herniations after 4 weeks of treatments.
What are the intended uses for Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Patients with acute and chronic low back pain will benefit from decompression therapy. Spinal Decompression Therapy provides
a program of treatments for relief from pain for those patients suffering from low back pain. Each treatment consists of a
prescribed treatment program on the System and is designed to provide static, intermittent and cycling distraction forces to
relieve pressures on structures that may be causing low back pain. The Spinal Decompression relieves pain associated with
herniated discs, degenerative disc syndrome and sciatica. It achieves these effects through decompression of intervertebral
discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning. Studies have concluded that as many as 80% of all Americans will
suffer from low back pain making Spinal Decompression Therapy a much needed component in the treatment of low back pain.
What's the difference between Spinal Decompression Therapy and Traction?
Traction disperses the energy of weights between the majority of spinal segments thus reducing the actual amount of pull
necessary to create negative pressure. A Spinal Decompression machine isolates the specific lumbar disc level to be treated
(L1 through L5) through its unique air bladder system and angle of pull. Traction does not create high negative intradiscular
pressure like the Spinal Decompression. Spinal Decompression is done in a logarithmic rate eliminating a proprioreceptor
response commonly found in traction. The ABS System focuses on overcoming intrinsic muscle responses of the spine by
relaxing the patient.
What clinical studies have been done with Spinal Decompression?
Studies on the DRS technology featured in the ABS System have been published in Pain Management and in Neurological
Research. Additional studies have been conducted and are awaiting publication. In each study, most patients studied
experienced relief from back pain after undergoing treatment with DRS technology. Other tables such as; DRX9000TM, DTS
TritonTM and VAX-DTM all have similar results and their own published spinal decompression studies.
Are Spinal Decompression Machines FDA Cleared?
Yes. The ABS System, Accuspina, VAX-D, DRX9000, DRX9500, DTS Triton, SpineMed, as well as others have all received
510(k) notification from the FDA, when in doubt ask the doctor performing the therapy.
