Degenerative Spine
Degenerative disc disease or degenerative spine refers to a breakdown of the normal architecture of the various components of the cervical spine. Spinal decompression therapy can relieve these issues without drugs, injections or surgery! Spinal Decompression or Disc Decompression is a great new technique that is saving people for injections and surgery! This non-invasive, non-surgical technology allows reversal of disc herniations, bulging discs and correction of conditions like facet syndrome, sciatica, degenerative disc disease and more. The general idea is to move the spine axially separating the space between the bones and essentially the upper from the lower part of the body relieving pressure and correcting underlying issues. The treatment lasts about 12 to 20 minutes and is customized to each patient’s needs and run by a protocol that is software driven. It helps in reducing intradiscal pressure; spinal decompression promotes retraction of the herniation into the disc and facilitates influx of oxygen, proline and other substrates. The promotion of fibro elastic activity stimulates repair and inhibits leakage of irritant sulphates and carboxylates from the nucleus. The most recent trial sought to correlate clinical success with MRI evidence of disc repair in the annulus, nucleus, facet joint and foramina as a result of treatment and found that reduction of disc herniation ranged between 10% and 90% depending on the number of sessions performed, while annulus patching and healing was evident in all cases.
