ROSS FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC ACCIDENT AND SPINAL DISC CENTER

---

Spinal decompression therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. Unlike basic traction, modern spinal decompression uses sophisticated computerized technology to create a precise stretching force along with varying relaxation phases, effectively creating negative pressure within the discs.

This negative pressure creates a vacuum effect that accomplishes two crucial healing objectives:

1. Relieves Pressure: By gently separating the vertebrae, decompression reduces the compressive forces that cause pain and nerve impingement.  
2. Promotes Healing: The negative pressure draws oxygen, nutrients, and hydration into the discs, promoting natural healing and disc regeneration.  

The treatment works on biomechanical principles specifically designed to target damaged or degenerated discs:

• Intermittent Stretching: The specialized table applies carefully calculated tension followed by relaxation phases, preventing the body’s natural muscle guarding response.  
• Customized Treatment Parameters: Force, angle, and duration are precisely controlled and personalized based on your specific condition, body weight, and treatment progress.  
• Computer-Guided Precision: Advanced algorithms ensure optimal decompression force without triggering muscle spasms that would counteract the treatment.  
• Disc Rehydration: The pumping action of alternating stretch and relaxation helps move fluid and nutrients into dehydrated discs.  

At, Ross Family Chiropractic Accident and Spinal Disc Center our spinal decompression therapy successfully addresses numerous spinal conditions that cause chronic pain and disability:

When the gel-like center of a spinal disc protrudes through the outer layer, it can press on nearby nerves, causing severe pain. Spinal decompression helps by:

• Reducing the size of disc herniations  
• Decreasing pressure on sensitive nerve roots  
• Promoting healing of the disc’s outer fibers  
• Facilitating retraction of displaced disc material  

As discs lose their natural hydration and elasticity with age, painful bone-on-bone contact can occur. Decompression therapy:

• Increases space between vertebrae  
• Enhances nutrient delivery to degenerating discs  
• Improves disc height and function  
• Slows the degenerative process  

This radiating leg pain results from compression of the sciatic nerve. Decompression effectively:

• Relieves pressure on the sciatic nerve  
• Addresses the root cause (often a herniated disc)  
• Reduces inflammation around nerve roots  
• Provides lasting relief from shooting leg pain  

Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress nerves, causing pain and neurological symptoms. Decompression helps by:

• Creating more space in the spinal canal  
• Relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves  
• Improving mobility and reducing pain  
• Enhancing nerve function and circulation  

For those who’ve had unsuccessful back surgery, spinal decompression offers hope by:

• Addressing issues that surgery didn’t resolve  
• Breaking up scar tissue around nerve roots  
• Providing non-invasive relief without additional surgical risks  
• Improving function in previously operated areas  

When spinal joints become inflamed and painful, decompression can:

• Decrease pressure on facet joints  
• Restore proper joint spacing and mechanics  
• Reduce inflammatory processes  
• Improve overall spinal function  

Our patients experience numerous advantages from choosing spinal decompression for their back and neck pain:

Surgery carries significant risks including infection, scarring, failed back syndrome, and lengthy recovery times. Spinal decompression offers:

• No incisions, anesthesia, or surgical complications  
• No painful recovery period  
• No risk of surgical scar tissue formation  
• No irreversible changes to spinal anatomy  

Instead of masking symptoms with potentially addictive pain medications, decompression:

• Addresses the underlying cause of pain  
• Provides natural, lasting relief  
• Eliminates medication side effects and dependency risks  
• Works with your body’s natural healing mechanisms  

Unlike generalized approaches, spinal decompression can be precisely directed to affect specific vertebral segments where problems exist:

• Customized angles and forces for your exact condition  
• Isolated treatment of problematic disc levels  
• Precision that manual techniques can’t achieve  
• Computerized adjustments as your condition improves  

Rather than temporary symptom relief, spinal decompression promotes actual healing:

• Addresses the root cause of disc problems  
• Creates lasting structural improvements  
• Enhances disc nutrition and hydration  
• Provides progressive, cumulative benefits  

Many patients find their decompression sessions to be a pleasant experience:

• No pain during the procedure  
• Gentle, controlled stretching sensation  
• Some patients even fall asleep during treatment  
• No post-treatment soreness  

When you choose Ross Family Chiropractic Accident and Spinal Disc Center for spinal decompression therapy, you’ll experience a comprehensive treatment process designed for optimal results:

Before beginning decompression, we conduct a detailed evaluation to determine if you’re a good candidate:

• Comprehensive health history review  
• Physical examination focusing on your spine  
• Neurological testing to assess nerve involvement  
• Review of previous imaging studies (MRI’s)  
• Discussion of treatment goals and expectations  

Based on our findings, we develop a personalized spinal decompression protocol:

• Specific parameters tailored to your condition  
• Targeted approach for your exact disc level and problem  
• Integration with complementary therapies when beneficial  
• Clear timeline and treatment goals  
• Explanation of expected outcomes  

During your spinal decompression treatments:

• You’ll lie comfortably on our specialized treatment table  
• A harness system is gently secured around your lower or upper body  
• The computer-controlled table administers precise, intermittent stretching  
• Each treatment typically lasts 20-45 minutes  
• Many patients report the sessions as relaxing or even fall asleep  

For optimal results, we often combine decompression with complementary therapies:

• Therapeutic exercises to strengthen supporting muscles  
• Cold therapy to reduce inflammation  
• Electrical stimulation for pain management  
• Chiropractic adjustments to improve overall spinal function  
• Nutritional support for tissue healing  

Throughout your treatment course:

• We track your progress with regular reassessments  
• Treatment parameters are adjusted as you improve  
• Your questions and feedback guide our approach  
• Functional improvements are documented and celebrated  

At Ross Family Chiropractic Accident and Spinal Disc Center we’ve invested in state-of-the-art spinal decompression equipment to provide the most effective treatment possible:

Our advanced systems offer:

• Precise computer control of tension and relaxation phases  
• Customizable treatment protocols for various conditions  
• Sensors that detect and prevent muscle guarding  
• Patient safety features and comfort enhancements  
• Documentation capabilities for tracking progress  

Our decompression tables are designed for optimal comfort and effectiveness:

• Ergonomic design for proper positioning  
• Split-table design to eliminate friction during treatment  
• Adjustable positioning for targeting specific spinal regions

• Maximum patient comfort during extended sessions  

A standard spinal decompression protocol includes:

• 20-25 sessions over a 5-8 week period  
• Treatment 3-5 times weekly initially, tapering as you improve  
• Sessions lasting approximately 30-45 minutes  
• Occasional maintenance treatments for some conditions  

While each patient’s response is unique, a typical progression includes:

• Initial relief: Many patients report some pain reduction within 2-3 sessions  
• Substantial improvement: Noticeable functional gains by 10-15 treatments  
• Lasting results: Maximum improvement typically achieved after completing the full protocol  
• Stabilization: Continued exercises and occasional maintenance to sustain benefits
