Why Spinal Decompression Works

The Spinal Decompression Care System relieves pain by enlarging the disc space and creating an internal environment where the disc can become healthier.  This is accomplished by the patented computer controlled pulling action of the DRS-ABS Decompression Table creating a vacuum like (low pressure) condition within the disc.  This is critical.  The spinal discs have no blood supply of their own and must absorb what they need slowly from the outside, instead of receiving a fresh supply of water, oxygen and nutrients with each heartbeat.  In order for absorption to occur, less pressure must exist inside the disc compared to the outside.  This lowering of internal disc pressure is also supportive in allowing bulging and herniated disc material to be pulled back, or centralized, thus relieving pressure on nerve roots.

Decompression therapy consists of applying cycles of high tension distraction force, offset by cycles of partial relaxation, however negative internal disc pressure is maintained throughout the treatment session.   As a result of this "pumping", a damaged disc can be rehydrated with nutrients and oxygen, allowing for healing to occur.

This is how decompression therapy works.  Pain relief is achieved by improving the health of the damaged discs, not masking the pain or removing parts.  What could be better!
