How Does SpineMED Spinal Decompression Work?

There are a number of spinal decompression methods available today, some better than others. Dr. Salvatore researched all of them, and chose for his practice and patients what he feels is the best non-surgical spinal decompression system available anywhere -- the SpineMED system.

All procedures are administered with the patient fully clothed. For lumbar procedures, the patient is comfortably positioned on the table, and the pelvic restraints are 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 pain-free computer controlled tension, the specific disc segment is gently distracted.

For cervical procedures, the cervical unit is first electronically tilted to the angle required to target specific segments of the cervical spine. The patient is then placed on the table with their head positioned in the cervical cradle unit. The cervical restraints are designed to comfortably capture the base of the patient's skull for controlled distraction.

A typical daily session consists of 10-15 minutes of radiant heat therapy, followed by 30 minutes of decompression on the SpineMED table. This is followed by 15 minutes of ice therapy. The process is pain-free and safe, and it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during the procedure.
