Spinal Decompression Therapy Perth
How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?
Spinal Decompression Therapy offers a safe, non-invasive, and medication-free solution for individuals enduring chronic neck and back discomfort stemming from disc issues and other spinal ailments.
​
During a spinal decompression therapy session, the spine is gently elongated and released using repetitive motions facilitated by the cutting-edge HillDT Spinal Decompression table.
As the table pulls and releases, a negative pressure change is created within the intervertebral disc, surrounding soft tissue and spinal joints. The reduction of pressure inside the disc (decompression) allows the disc bulge or herniation and the nutrients to be pulled back into the disc.
​
Rehydration of the disc and surrounding structures creates a physiological change which decreases pain levels and assists the body’s natural healing process. Patients typically experience significant improvement within 25-30 treatments.
​
Research shows that continued improvement is seen up to 4 years following the Spinal Decompression Therapy program.
Spinal Decompression Therapy Serves to;
​
-
Increase blood flow, improving nutrition to the disc to aid in healing and reduce inflammation
-
Decrease intradiscal pressure
-
Promote the regression of disc herniation^
-
Reduce neurocompression
Pressure on Nerves Cause Pain
When a bulging or herniated disc shifts out of place, it can exert pressure on adjacent nerves. This compression hampers the transmission of messages between the nerves, central nervous system, and brain, culminating in chronic pain. Without relief from compression, damaged discs struggle to heal, perpetuating patients' suffering and accompanying symptoms.
Spinal Decompression Therapy Creates a Negative Pressure
Spinal Decompression Therapy effectively increases the space between vertebrae, allowing bulging or herniated discs to return to their central position within the spine. This action alleviates pressure on nerves and surrounding soft tissues.
​
By counteracting axial load or spinal compression, this therapy promotes enhanced circulation. This, in turn, facilitates the delivery of nutrients, oxygen, and fluids to the affected disc, thereby triggering the body's natural healing response.
When combined with the proper technique, axial spinal decompression therapy can stretch the spine to open disc spaces and IVFs.

^ Success Rates: If the MRI indicates 0-3mm disc protrusion 95%, 3-5mm 90%, 5-7mm 80%, over 7mm 25% decompression therapy will resolve the herniation
