This highly advanced system combines technology with technique. The KDT system is the first decompression system to incorporate advanced position concepts which allow mechanically assists disc centralization to occur.
What is Chiropractic Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Chiropractic Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical traction based treatment outcome for herniated or bulging discs in the neck and lower back. Anyone who has back, neck, arm or leg pain may be helped by spinal decompression therapy. Spinal Decompression Therapy reduces disc pressure allowing necessary nutrients to enliven and accelerate disc healing.
In almost all cases, the treatments are completely painless. In fact, with our advanced chiropractic spinal decompression equipment, some patients fall asleep during the chiropractic spinal decompression therapy session.
After a significant amount of research, our office chose what we believe to be the most sophisticated, technologically advanced, state-of-the-art spinal decompression equipment in the world, the Kennedy Decompression Table. We also selected this chiropractic spinal decompression equipment due to its ability to treat discs in both the neck and the low back.
Who can benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Anyone who has back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a damaged disc may be helped by spinal decompression therapy. These conditions include herniated, protruding or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica or even failed surgery.
Do most patients receive therapy and rehabilitative exercises in addition to Spinal Decompression Therapy?
To reduce inflammation and assist the healing process, supporting structures are treated with passive therapies (ice/heat/muscle stimulation), chiropractic adjustments (as indicated) and/or active rehabilitation in order to strengthen the spinal musculature.
