About Back & Neck Pain
Tired of Living With Back or Neck Pain?
Back and neck pain are the number one complaints in North America, affecting 80% of us at one time or another. These problems often mean a permanent loss of some function, forcing us to give up things in life no one should have to give up. The highly advanced SpineMED® is a NON-SURGICAL, DRUG-FREE procedure that is EXCEPTIONALLY COMFORTABLE. It offers hope where other decompression* systems fail.
Do not accept lower back and neck pain as a fact of life!
ABOUT DECOMPRESSION
The Beginning and the End of Discogenic Pain
Intervertebral
disc pathology is one of the primary causes of back and neck pain. The
discs are prone to degeneration and injury as they are compressed and
twisted through daily activities.
As the disc degenerates, the gel-like nucleus loses its hydration, reducing disc height and creating the possibility of facet syndrome and lateral foraminal stenosis. Furthermore, disc degeneration causes the pliable outer coating of the anulus to become brittle and susceptible to cracks and tears that can lead to disc herniations. Bulging or herniated discs often press on spinal nerves, causing severe pain and radiculopathy.
Damaged intervertebral discs seldom heal because they remain under constant pressure, even while a person is at rest. It is widely accepted that the ideal environment to improve disc pathology is to decompress, or reduce the intradiscal pressures of the damaged disc.
The goal of reducing intradiscal pressure is to enhance the osmotic diffusion of fluids and nutrients across the endplates into the disc, furthering the body’s natural healing abilities. Additionally, reduction of intradiscal pressures may help draw the nucleus pulposus of a herniated disc back into the center, thereby relieving pressure on a compressed nerve root—alleviating the problem and the pain.
About SpineMED® Decompression
SpineMED®’s patented design represents the latest evolution in non-surgical decompression technology.
SpineMED® provides a Non-surgical, Drug-free procedure for:
- bulging and herniated discs
- radiating leg pain
- numbness in the arms
- sciatica
- spinal stenosis
- disc degeneration
Based on years of clinical experience, and feedback from healthcare professionals in the field, the SpineMED® system was designed to overcome the limitations and untoward side-effects found with previous devices.
Cumbersome nylon harnesses, an outdated tower design, and antiquated traction components have been eliminated and replaced with a patented restraint system, exclusive pelvic tilt mechanism and advanced computer controls.
The result is the most technologically advanced non-surgical decompression system for the conservative treatment of lumbar and cervical disc pathologies.
What’s a SpineMED® Session Like?
For
Low Back Pain, the patient is comfortably positioned lying down face
upward, knees bent and resting on the bolster. The Patented Pelvic
Restraints are adjusted to comfortably secure the patient's pelvis. The
upper torso is secured to the fixed section of the table using velcroed
upper restraint. The doctor then keys in session parameters. The
Patented Pelvic Tilt section electronically tilts the pelvis to target
the specific injured spinal segments. Then with precise 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 patented Cervical Restraints are designed to comfortably capture the base of the patient's skull for controlled distraction.
The SpineMED® protocol consists of 20-25 sessions that are 30 minutes each in duration. SpineMED® sessions are typically administered 3-5 times per week over a 4-6 week period. The procedure is performed with the patient fully clothed and has been described as safe, painless and extremely effective. In fact, it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during the procedure. Each session has a cumulative effect, designed to significantly reduce pain and improve function as patients progress through the SpineMED® program.
SpineMED® Decompression continues to show encouraging success rates for patients suffering with lumbar and cervical disc pathologies, both alone and in conjunction with spinal rehabilitation therapies such as Physical Therapy or Chiropractic care.
