The SpineMED® Therapy
SpineMED Therapy works by using clinically proven principles to non-surgically decompress the spine and reduce pressure in the disc that caused the bulge or herniation. This reduction of pressure inside the disc facilitates the influx of vital fluids and nutrients that are desperately needed for the disc and can also help retract the herniation or bulge, taking pressure off the nerve. This reduction in bulging offers relief from nerve compression which can cause pain in the neck, back, arm and/or leg.
All treatments are administered with the patient fully clothed. For lumbar treatment, the patient is comfortably positioned on the table, and the (patented) pelvic capture is adjusted to comfortably secure the patient’s pelvis. The upper torso is captured by a comfortable securing system incorporated into the fixed section of the table. The Pelvic Tilt section will be electronically tilted, so that specific spinal segments can be targeted. With precise and painless computer controlled tension, the specific disc segment is gently distracted to reduce the pressure inside the disc.
For cervical treatments, the cervical unit is first electronically tilted to the angle required to target specific segments of the cervical spine. The patient is then positioned on the table with their head positioned in the cervical cradle unit. The cervical capture (patented) is positioned to comfortably secure the base of the patient’s skull for controlled movement. A typical daily treatment session consists of 20minutes of SpineMED® Therapy followed by any other rehabilitative care the patient may need. The process is painless and safe, and it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatment.
