Everyone who suffers from pain in the upper back, lower back or the neck, and the reason for the pain is a damage of the intervertebral discs
In our practice the Decompression therapy is conducted with a special, computerized equipment- extensomat, manufactured by a well known company in Holland
Contrary to the mechanism of occurrence of discus hernia, by using the Decompression therapy exactly the opposite decompression is made- freeing from the pressure, withdrawing the piece of the discus by using vacuum effect from the extension itself. By freeing the pressure, the relief from the pain comes fast and also all the symptoms decrease.
It is logical if the nature of the disease is mechanical, the treatment to be mechanical too. In 90% of the patients the surgery is postponed.
The contemporary lifestyle and the advancement of the technology, have contributed in the increase of degenerative diseases of the vertebras which in the past occurred among the population older than 50-60, now they more frequently occur in people that are under the age of 30. The reasons for the pain are multiple, in most cases they are connected with the profession, no matter if it is a sedentary job or intensive physical one.
The symptoms of the back pain often occur as a result of getting old. The discuses degenerate up to various degrees, reducing the space which is intended for the nerves. Because of these reasons it is good to have the Decompression therapy as a preventive, in order to slow down the aging of the discs and the soft tissue apparatus of the spine, saving their function up to the really old age.
It is also a very successful method for treating various deformities of the spinal cord- scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis. The goal is to prevent the progression of the scoliosis and the kyphosis, strengthening the muscles- stabilizers of the spinal cord, extending the shortened muscles, strengthening the paravertebral muscles, maintaining the capacity of the lungs and correction of the posture.
In our practice the Decompression therapy is conducted on specialized, computerized equipment -extensomat, from a well known company from Holland. The therapy is conducted after taking the anamneses and establishing the diagnoses, under continuous professional surveillance of a doctor- physiatrist and physiotherapists, following exact medically confirmed protocol.
The therapy is performed individually for each patient depending on his age, condition, diagnosis, degree of damage of the disc, degree of pain. Usually the treatments are carried out in series of 10-12 treatments, and sometimes when necessary even 15 treatments. Generally it is done every day or with a pause of 1-2 days depending on the type of the disease and the degree of pain.
The dosing is performed gradually, progressively following the previously confirmed protocol and it is absolutely safe and painless. The patient during the procedure does not feel any pain, only sweet, soft stretching. The decompression therapy can be combined with other types of physical therapy.
