Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression at Integrated Medical Center of FL

Severe back pain and related conditions can have a huge impact on quality of life with constant pain and reduced movement. Traditionally, when pain became chronic, people had no other choice than resort to a complicated surgery or be forced to rely on medications, to help alleviate the pain.

At Integrated Medical Center of Florida, we are dedicated to treating our patients with effective, non-invasive care and we are proud to offer Spinal Decompression as a powerful and proven surgery alternative for back pain, sciatica, stenosis, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease and many other back conditions.

Spinal Decompression is also a valuable treatment option for failed surgery or relapses.

Severe lower back pain, sciatica, stenosis and many other conditions are often caused by intervertebral disc issues. These discs work as pumps, compressing under pressure and decompressing when the pressure is relieved. Each time they are also exchanging nutrients which keeps them healthy and functional.

Like a sponge that squeezes out water when compressed and when let go, re-absorbs the water, the intervertebral discs are constantly pumping nutrients back and forth to stay healthy and operative. However, significant injury or repeated trauma can cause swelling and inflammation which obstructs the pumping motion. The disc can no longer decompress and pain and reduced mobility result.

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment that directly affects the discs. It works by slowly and gently stretching the spine, taking pressure off compressed unhealthy discs and pinched spinal nerves. Decompression therapy helps to prime the “pump mechanism” that is characteristic of all healthy intervertebral discs. This allows water and nutrients to consistently return causing natural healing to occur.

Every individual's situation is unique, and of course Spinal Decompression is not a cure-all, but our decompression therapy is highly effective, especially when combined with gentle chiropractic care and other rehabilitative services.
