Vertebral axial decompression

Vertebral axial decompression is a novel non-invasive medical treatment system. Unlike conventional tractions, using the computerized table, it is possible to increase the intervertebral space by distraction, in a painless way. A negative pressure (vacuum) is created that facilitates the resorption of herniated discs, removing compression to the nerve roots, the impacted joint surfaces are separated and the contractured muscles are stretched. With all this, the pain decreases.

The session lasts between 25 - 30 minutes and is supervised by a physiotherapist. It begins with a distraction force calculated according to the physical conditions of each person and this force will increase in each session, creating a cumulative effect (always respecting the physiological force ranges). The frequency of the sessions will be determined according to the nature of the problem to be treated, although usually between 2 or 3 sessions per week are carried out for a total of 12 sessions in 4 weeks. Treatment is described as safe and painless.

For both the lumbar and cervical procedures, the patient is dressed and lying on the decompression table, ensuring support through different harness systems to guarantee controlled decompression. An advanced computerized system controls the distraction tension, the pause times and the development of the session by displaying them on a graph. Axial decompression can be associated with physiotherapy sessions and / or ozone therapy sessions. It is advisable to carry out a progressive re-training of the muscles at the end of the treatment and to carry out reminder sessions after a few months.
