Disc DecompressionFor more information, see our Disc Decompression Video or Virtual Decompression Interactive Flash Movie: Herniated and degenerated discs are common causes of lower back pain. The Disc Decompression Table is designed to treat these types of conditions. Damaged inter-vertebral discs heal poorly, as the discs are constantly under pressure. The Disc Decompression Table is designed to reduce pressure on vital structures of the lumbar spine and spinal nerves, reducing the pressure inside the discs.
The Disc Decompression Table is designed to comfortably and accurately increase intersegmental disc space, providing non-surgical decompression of lumbar discs. The object of decompression is to reduce the pressure inside the disc and facilitate the transfer of fluids, nutrients and oxygen back inside the disc (decompression, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning). Reduction of intradiscal pressure - the pressure inside the disc, can result in the retraction of bulging discs, and welcome relief of nerve pressure. The pain from tears in the disc annulus can be relieved, and sufficient fluids and nutrients can be introduced into the nucleus to reduce the pain from disc degeneration. Rehydration of the disc nucleus can restore disc height, relieving the pressure on inflamed facet joints. The Disc Decompression Table and targeted spinal exercises are not just aimed at treating symptoms but are designed to alleviate the underlying problems that cause low back pain and facilitate the natural healing of the discs.

During normal activities, the pressure inside the lumbar discs typically ranges between 100 mm/HG to 300 mm/HG.
