The main reason that spinal
decompression is becoming so popular is that it
works, if done with the right equipment
and with the proper knowledge and experience. The
Back Pain Institute of St Louis has utilized spinal
decompression since August 1996 and has treated
over 5,000 patients. We are a pioneer in the various
diagnostic and treatment procedures that have proven
to increase the effectiveness of spinal
decompression and have been incorporated into the
treatment program known as SpineTREX® in facilities across the
country.
There are imitators
with equipment that's unproven and ineffective for
decompressing spinal discs. Some medical equipment
companies sell traction devices claiming
decompression is a natural by product of traction.
There is one study on a traction device that
actually shows that the pressure in the disc
increases rather than decreases, it is the decreased
pressure or vacuum effect that produces the
result. It's just not as simple as
putting someone on a piece of equipment and hope
they get better. There are many considerations that
must be made to produce a successful outcome.
