What is SpineMED® Decompression?

Spinal-Decpmpression

SpineMED® decompression is a non-surgical spinal decompression therapy that alleviates chronic back pain, specifically related to the cervical and lumbar vertebrae. It’s a highly responsive technology that relieves pressure between spinal vertebrae. For patients who want a conservative approach to treating their back pain or are seeking an alternative to drugs or surgery, SpineMED® could be an effective solution. 

SpineMED® consists of a therapy table with a bolster, a gentle restraint system and a pelvic tilt mechanism. Its patented technology is controlled via computer, and the device can detect and quickly respond to a patient’s muscle spasms during a therapy session, offering pinpoint relief where it’s most needed. Patients can relax, listen to music or even watch a movie during their session while the device gently and effectively removes pressure from affected areas of the spine.

SpineMED® decompression therapy is recommended for individuals over the age of 15, and who experience chronic neck and low back pain. It addresses complaints such as: 

  • Back and neck pain
  • Herniated or bulging discs 
  • Sciatica
  • Posterior facet syndrome
  • Arm numbness or tingling 
  • Pain that radiates down the legs
  • Disc degeneration
  • Spinal stenosis 

At First Stop Chiropractic, our Fenton chiropractors can help you understand the benefits of each treatment and how they can help you recover from a variety of conditions. Book an appointment today for your chiropractic adjustment!

Benefits of SpineMED® for Spinal Decompression

The SpineMED® table targets specific vertebrae through flexion-distraction, a combination gentle stretching and flexing of the spine. This action allows the vertebrae to separate, removing painful pressure from spinal discs, decompressing pinched nerves, and potentially allowing bulging or herniated discs to move back into their proper positions. Flexion-distraction is considered more effective than traditional traction, which involves simply stretching the spine through elongation.

Our team is passionate about spinal health innovation, and we strive to stay ahead of the technological curve. With SpineMED®, we get to bring the very best, state-of-the-art decompression care to our patients. This gentle, effective, and responsive health care device targets specific treatment areas for maximum relief, helping many patients achieve a higher quality of life.

A Relaxing SpineMED® Session

During your treatment, you will find that this gentle, non-invasive technique pairs quality of treatment, along with a higher level of relaxation. There is a television screen for you to catch up on your favorite show or movie, you can listen to music or even take a nap! 

Recovery And Aftercare

After your session, you may resume your normal routine. Continue to be mindful of your back pain over the course of your treatment plan. Avoid activities that could aggravate the pain, such as heavy lifting. 

Every SpineMED® session builds on the one before it, creating a cumulative effect over time. It’s important to complete your treatment plan for the best results. Many patients report pain reduction and improved functionality over the course of their plan.
