SPINAL DECOMPRESSION RESEARCH

1. “The spinal discs are avascular, meaning they don’t have an independent blood supply. So they cannot heal on their own, they require compression and decompression (pumping action found in normal motion of healthy discs) to allow oxygen and nutrients into the disc, which promote healing.” View Research

McNally DS, Adams MA. Internal Intervertebral Disc Mechanics as Revealed by Stress Profilometry. Spine 1992; 17:66-73.

2. “Abnormal stresses (e.g. decreased disc height, herniation, etc.) through the discs prevent exchange of oxygen and nutrients which causes metabolic breakdown of the disc. This breakdown leads to further breakdown of the disc.” View Research

Handa, et al. Effects of hydrostatic pressure on matrix synthesis and matrix metalloproteinase production in the human lumbar intervertebral disc. Spine 1997; 22:1085-91.

3. “Prolonged stresses through the spinal discs inhibit healing of the disc, and leads to prolonged degeneration of the disc.” View Research

Liu et al. Nitric Oxide Mediates the Change of Proteoglycan Synthesis in the Human Lumbar Intervertebral Disc in Response to Hydrostatic Pressure. Spine 2001; 26(2):134-41.

4. “70% to 83% of spinal surgeries are FAILURES… meaning the patient has the same pain or worse pain afterward.” View Research

Dvorak, J. Gauchat M., and Valach L. The Outcome of Surgery for Lumbar Disc Herniation. A 4-7 Years Follow-up with Emphasis on Somatic Aspects. Spine, Volume 13., No 12., 1988, 1418-1427.

5. “The pumping action of Spinal Decompression forces metabolic waste out of the disc and allows water and nutrients back into the discs which promote healing.” View Research

Kraemer J, Kolditz D, Gowin R. Water and Electrolyte Content of Human Intervertebral Discs Under Variable Load. Spine 1985; 10:69-71.

6. “Spinal Decompression has been shown to be 86% EFFECTIVE with significant disc degeneration, with no side effects.” View Research

Gionis. Thomas, MD, JD, MBA, FICA, FRCS et al. The outcome of a clinical study evaluating the effect of nonsurgical intervention on symptoms of spine patients with herniated and degenerative disc disease is presented. Spinal Decompression, Orthopedic Technological Review, November/December 2003; Volume 5, Number 6: Pages cover, 36-39.
