Why Spinal Decompression Therapy?

 

Developed by a team of physicians and engineers and researched to be highly effective by Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center and Mayo Clinic among others. The treatments are very relaxing, highly successful and feel great at the same time.

There is no downtime, no side effects, no drugs, no injections, and no surgeries with this procedure. The treatment works by slowly distracting the pressure off the spinal discs by carefully pulling the pressure off the spinal vertebrae (bones). This allows the pressure to be released on the disc which then will pull the disc off the spinal nerves as the disc bulges and herniations reduce in size. While this is occurring, the discs are now able to once again get water, oxygen, and nutrients to aid in the healing and the inflammation and pain can subside as well.

Dr. Boelk’s office has revolutionized the treatment of low back pain. His office has performed over 100,000 spinal decompression visits and helped thousands of patients both locally, nationwide, and around the world get pain-free.

- Not at all. There are 3 computers on each Spinal Decompression Machine. One of the computers sole job is to ensure that the muscles in the spine are relaxed. It accomplishes this with a positive feedback loop system. 13 Times a second, the system monitors the muscles to make sure they are not attempting to tighten up. If they do attempt to tighten, the computer recognizes this and adjusts the pressure and pull to lower until the muscles are once again relaxed and then it can increase the pull once again. This way we can always keep the disc in a negative pressure state which is not possible with inversion or traction machines.

With true spinal decompression, we can get water, oxygen and nutrients into the disc itself while flushing out swelling and inflammation which is adding to the pain. With traction and inversion tables the spinal muscles are unable to fully relax and thus they stay somewhat activated which then prevents the discs from getting into a negative pressure and healing properly and getting rid of the pain as much as possible.

Most patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, significant improvement is obtained by the second week of treatment.

Patients usually remain on the system for 20-30 minutes at a time. This may take place 3-4 visits per week for the first 2 weeks and then decrease in frequency from there. However, all treatment plans are customized to each patients’ specific needs.

In order to determine if you qualify for spinal decompression, Dr. Boelk will need to examine your case first. He will review with you the specific criteria based upon your individual situation.
