Spinal Decompression – Effective Treatment of Neck and Back Pain
Spinal decompression is a drug-free treatment available for treating a wide array of back disorders. If you are tired of surgical processes, this technique can provide you with complete relief. The treatment requires no complicated or risky surgical process and is totally safe. The method was developed from years of research and is ideal for long term relief from pain.
Until recently, patients with back pain were usually given drugs with possible side-effects, referred to physical therapists, or sent for surgery. The structure of our back is comprised of spinal bones (vertebrae), their joints, discs between vertebras, and the muscles and ligaments which bind all the parts together. The discs which act as a cushion between the vertebrae can get damaged and the gelatinous material inside can leak, leading to herniated disc which is the cause of pain. These types of back pains can be treated with modern decompression techniques including Decompression Therapy System (DTS), VAX-D, ABS systems, DRX-3000, DRX9000, and the Accu-Spina System.
Spinal compression is the common cause for neck and back pain. Spinal decompression causes the expansion of disc herniations, which are the cause for the pressure exerted on nearby spinal nerve roots. Decompression technique works by taking away pressure from damaged discs so that the bulging will shrink back to its original size and thus protect the surrounding discs from getting damaged. The treatment has also proved to be successful in treating spinal stenosis, sciatica, pinched nerve, facet syndrome, low back disc bulge, golf related pain, and degenerative disc disease.
The spinal decompression treatment normally takes about 6-8 weeks. It can be followed by neuromuscular, cardiovascular and diet therapy for even greater results. All treatment methods are affordable and are designed to alleviate all types of back pain. The treatment procedure is effective and results can be seen within the initial weeks of the treatment.

what about spinal decompression on a diabetic with neuropathy?
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is for spinal pain and sciatica resulting from herniated or degenerative discs. Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes, in which nerves are damaged as a result of high blood sugar levels(hyperglycemia). Unfortunately, decompression therapy would not help that. Some patients may have both and to the extent that the discs are the cause of the symptoms they would be helped. Diabetes is not a contraindication for the treatment.

We are looking for someone who can offer spinal decompression therapy near Ithaca, NY and near Rome, NY. My daughter has a herniated disc and we want to try this first. She attends college in Ithaca and planse to spend this summer in Rome, NY.
My daughter has 2 at C4 and C6 Buldging disc. Her doctor has been trying this on her and she seems to be getting worse.
Now see has headaches everyday and after her last session
the left side of her face went numb. Twice she had to have the session stopped because to the pain, and she not one to complain. The doctor wants to keep doing a couply more of these but I’m afraid it might cause permant damage.
I was told I had the perfect condition L5 S1 disc herniation this spinal decompression would cure. I’m a young adult no prior surgery etc. etc. I spent a few thousand dollars and went 3 times per week for 8 weeks. I did NOT have one bit of improvement. This is a rip off. Everyone save your money. It doesn’t work. Epidural injections help. I have had multiple professionals admitting to me now that this spinal decompression does not work for the Back.
I have a bulging disc at L5 S1 and I have been doing the Lordex decompression for 10 sessions and I have improved by 44% and I will be starting my next 10 sessions. What the doctors could not do in 4 months the Lordex did in 5 sessions by relieving alot of the pain and helping me walk better all without pain pills. I recommend decompression.
