What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal Decompression Therapy may be an alternative to spinal injections and spine surgery for patients suffering from back pain.
Nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy was developed after NASA researchers
discovered that astronauts returning from zero-gravity environments reported relief from
their back pain. The anti-gravity effects of outer space literally decompressed the discs,
creating a lasting change to the discs’ innermost tissues and fluids.
With a majority of the population experiencing back pain at least once in their lifetime,
lower back pain is the most common ailment facing health care providers today. In the past, physicians were faced with limited resources for successful treatment. The Eurotech DOC Spinal Decompression Table meets the needs of today’s patient, offering chiropractors the clinical outcome they desire and patients the quality of life they deserve.
With the Euro Doc advanced technology — available at Butler Chiropractic, where Dr.
Matt Butler D.C., has been providing exceptional chiropractic care since 1997 — patients
don’t have to be astronauts to reap the benefits of an anti-gravity environment. While one article reports 86% improvement rates, the application of Euro Doc technology along with chiropractic care can be used to achieve over 90% improvement rates.
Although Dr. Butler recognizes that nonsurgical spinal decompression is not appropriate
for everyone, with a focused clinical history and examination — he is able to identify those patients for whom nonsurgical spinal decompression is appropriate. He will provide them with an understanding of the risks and benefits of considering nonsurgical alternatives, along with the tools and information necessary to make an informed decision before moving forward with his treatment plan.
Spinal Decompression A Non-Surgical Alternative
Back pain is the number one cause of disability in people under 45 and the third leading cause of disability over 45. Spinal Decompression Therapy has been proven effective at relieving the pain & symptoms from many causes of back pain. For some patients, surgery can even be avoided with Spinal Decompression Therapy.
