It changes the pressure inside the disc
Day to day, sitting, standing, going about normal life, gravity keeps your discs under constant positive pressure. They are always being squeezed.
Not simply less pressure. The opposite of pressure: the disc goes from squashed to gently drawn open.
Neurosurgeons measured this directly in 1994, using a pressure sensor inside a patient's disc while they lay on a decompression table. They weren't measuring clinical outcomes, only verifying and confirming the machine physically does what it claims.
Disc herniations got smaller on MRI
A 2022 trial randomly gave people either real spinal decompression or a dummy version, and scanned them before and after. In the group that had the actual treatment:
In the control group, not one herniation shrank by half.
From people who've had spinal decompression with us.
I had pain in my glutes, hip, groin and back. A friend recommended Dane, but I was sceptical, to say the least. I’d tried physio and strengthening exercises, then chiropractic and sports massage, and nothing seemed to ease it.
Dane organised MRI scans of my lower back and hips. They showed a problem with a couple of my discs, so he recommended spinal decompression. To be honest, I had low expectations. The difference has been amazing: my hip pain has eased and my back is so much better. I’m now back running after nearly a year.
The whole team, Dane, Ellie, Lauren and Maria, were great. I can’t recommend Ocean City Chiropractic enough.
Neck’s almost pain free with near full movement this morning. I went for a nap after work yesterday at 5 and woke up at 8 this morning! Can’t thank you enough. And I’ve got nearly all feeling back in my finger.
Each is one person’s experience. Everyone responds differently, which is why we always assess first.
