SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

in Panama city, Fl

Spine Care Plus Medical in Panama City, Florida, offers spinal decompression, which is a treatment that decreases the pressure on your spine. This is done using a computer-controlled force to distract the vertebra near the affected disc. Many patients who may have needed surgery have found relief with spinal decompression. Not everyone is eligible for this treatment. We will perform an exam, review your history, and look at reports before deciding. Request an appointment today to see if you qualify.

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

Spinal Decompression is non-surgical, doctor-controlled, hands-on spinal manipulation. Our table permits the effective administration of flexion-distraction and decompression adjustment and manipulation. Evidence-based decompression is appropriate for conditions causing low back and leg pain and neck and arm pain. It also reduces pain attributable to:

disc herniation
a slipped disc
a ruptured disc

facet syndrome
stenosis

spondylolisthesis
other conditions

Benefits of Spinal Decompression

Provides Pain Relief
Promotes healing of spinal disc tissues
Helps restore normal spinal disc and joint alignment

Relieves pressure on spinal nerves
Accelerates effectiveness of other healing approaches

Precision Spinal Decompression is achieved when intra-discal pressure is reduced. This occurs when the patient is captured optimally, spinal segments are targeted directly with minimal force on the torso and no reflex contractions or spasms are triggered. Reducing intra-discal pressure may help draw the nucleus of a herniated disc back into the center.

Traditional Traction and Other Devices – causes the exact opposite result. By capturing the upper torso and not tilting the pelvis, significantly more force is applied throughout the entire torso. This can result in reflex contractions and spasms causing increased pressure on the disc space. Increasing intra-discal pressure can cause a herniated disc to be forced further out from the center.

The SpineMED Difference

Achieving effective decompression depends upon the ability to distract to spine without eliciting reflex muscle contractions or spasms. Designed to Overcome Reflex Contractions.

SpineMED- the TRUE spinal decompression device!

While there are many technologies being marketed as “Decompression Systems”, SpineMED is truly unique and provides several key advantages through its patented technology.

Most devices utilize nylon harnesses and straps to capture the patient and to apply distraction forces to the spine. This application of forces can often trigger reflex muscle contraction, which can then actually cause compression of the discs through reduced intervertebral space. In addition, these devices require very high force, and employ a protocol which require 50% to 75% of patient body weight.

SpineMED’s patented design captures the pelvic crest directly and provides direct transfer of the distraction forces to the spine through the pelvis, rather than through the torso. This efficient mechanism requires only 10% to 15% of patient body weight for lumbar treatment. SpineMED is so gentle that patients do not feel any force during lumbar treatment.
