Spinal decompression devices use the same basic principle of spinal traction that has been offered by chiropractors, osteopaths, and other appropriately trained health professionals for many years.īoth traction and decompression therapy are applied with the goals of relieving pain and promoting an optimal healing environment for bulging, degenerating, or herniated discs. This article provides an overview of nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy and its role in treatment of lower back pain and neck pain. This procedure is called nonsurgical decompression therapy (as opposed to surgical spinal decompression, such as laminectomy and microdiscectomy). See Spinal Decompressor™ Exercise flyer enclosed for Basic, Intermediate and Advanced exercises.Looking for surgical decompression information? The greatest benefits are achieved during inverted cradling, spinal torsion twists and abdominal exercises with a relaxation (unloading) moment between movements. This neuromuscular balancing, the result of muscles being stretched and elongated while the opposing muscles are actively contracting, creates an increase in balance, coordination and symmetrical muscular and therefore postural development.
Inverted spinal decompression with active motion creates a physiological pump mechanism, which increases circulation and stimulates the brain to reprogram the sensory/motor reflex of the opposing muscles of the spine. This technique has been instrumental in improving athletic performance and specifically the vertical jump of athletes. While inverted, the special saddle seat design of the Spinal Decompressor™ enables the user to contract their adductor (inner thigh) muscles, which activates the lower abdominal muscles, contributing to Spinal Core Stability™. How Can Using the Spinal Decompressor™ Improve My Athletic Performance? Perry believes that active, daily spinal decompression may even help you avoid surgery he however emphasizes that the choice to undergo surgery or not is one that must be discussed with your doctor. Relieving back pain and spinal compression are just a couple of the reasons why active, daily spinal decompression is important and can improve your quality of life. There are basically two types of trauma that can lead to spinal compression macro-trauma, such as an impact injury, and micro-trauma, which is not caused by an injury but instead by gravity plus accumulative bad habits, such as poor posture.Įither type of trauma can result in compression of the spine, causing severe back pain, disc bulge, nerve root/vascular compression and eventually degenerative arthritis. Dr LeRoy Perry advocates active, daily decompression therapy to reverse some of these conditions and relieve chronic and severe back pain. What Causes the Spine to be Compressed, and Can We Fix It Without Surgery?Ī great majority of people suffer from back pain as a result of compression and muscle imbalance resulting from some type of trauma. Active spinal decompression aids our overall body to not only increase circulation and nerve supply but also enhance balance and coordination, which can revitalize the body. By increasing disc space and blood flow we are increasing oxygenation and improving our body’s metabolic processes including detoxification. One major component of the aging process is loss of oxygen to our tissue. The benefits of active spinal decompression are an increase in vertebral disc space, which decreases vascular and nerve pressure. This stretch/strengthening phenomenon creates Spinal Core Stability™, literally strengthening the musculature of the spine in a 360 degree co-ordinate balance. The Spinal Decompressor™ uses gravitational forces with active inverted movement/exercise to stretch both outer spinal muscles (extrinsic) and inner muscles (intrinsic) on the backside of the body while contracting and strengthening the opposing musculature on the front of the body and vice versa.
