Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal Decompression Therapy with SpineMEDtm

Fountain Valley Chiropractic is please to offer an affordable, non-surgical, non-invasive solution for spinal disc herniation, bulging discs, nerve root impingement, and disc degeneration.   This state-of-the-art technology utilizes effective yet gentle spinal distraction that non-surgically relieves and repairs neck and lower back pain, peripheral numbness, tingling and pain due to intervertebral disc prolapses and herniations.  This treatment is found to be up to 86% effective.

SpineMEDtm spinal decompression is known for it's patient comfort and ease of use.  Within minutes one can be set up and treatment may begin, lasting approximately thirty minutes per session.  Disc decompression therapy with SpineMEDtm is so comfortable, often patients fall asleep during their sessions.  SpineMEDtm spinal decompression therapy gently tractions targetted discs, creating negative pressure in the disc (like a vacuume), drawing in the moisture from the bony endplates of the vertebra, re-centering and re-hydrating the nucleus of the vertebral discs. Depending on the situation, most conditions will require anywhere between 15-30 sessions to reverse the disc involvement and allow for the healing process to set in.  Decompression therapy is targeted to the disc involved by head-rest or pelvic angle.

The doctors at FVC are specially trained in the management of spinal decompression therapy and have had much success with the addition of offering spinal decompression in the office.

The burning pain, numbness, tingling and loss of muscle strength from my degenerated neck disc completely reolved after treatment on the spinal decompression machine.  It saved me from certain spinal neck surgery.  I am thankful to have found such a painless and effective treatment for my degenerated cervical spine.

Last year I was looking at Anterior Cervical fusion (involving three vertebrae), a major surgery, when a friend recommended Dr. Amy Friedman at Fountain Valley Chiropractic. On my first visit, Dr. Amy took a series of x-rays and discussed with me my options that would not require surgery. At the same time while seeing Dr. Amy, I was undergoing a number of doctor visits and pre-surgical evaluations preparing me for cervical fusion. My symptoms involved pain radiating down my left arm into my hand causing numbness. Within a few visits I noticed slight improvement; however, Dr. Amy suggested that I try spinal decompression. She provided me with literature and a DVD to view prior to making a decision. I chose to go forward with a number of sessions involving spinal decompression. Almost immediately I noticed improvement. By my last session I was feeling much improved and came to a decision that I would not have surgery. Two days prior to surgery I notified the surgeon that it was off. Within a very few weeks I was no longer having any pain or numbness in my left arm or hand. My husband, who was quite the skeptic, is now convinced that the treatment provided by Dr. Amy was responsible for my recovery, eliminating any need for surgery.

Sometime during 2000, I started having serious pain in my lower back below the belt line.  I could only walk 75 steps before the pain would be unbearable.  After several trips to the doctor, an MRI, x-rays, therapy and 8 monthly trips to a pain management doctor, I finally resigned myself that I would just have to live with the pain.  Nothing was alleviating the pain I felt.

An aquaintance suggested that I discuss this situation with Dr. Amy at FVChiropractic.  I did and started the decompression treatments.  I felt that nothing else had worked wo what did I have to lose.

The first few treatments did not seem to change the extent of the pain.  Thereafter I started to notice that the degree of the pain was less and less and I could walk approximately 150 steps before the pain would kick in again.

At the end of my treatment I could walk 300 steps wtihout pain and it seems to be getting better and better as time goes by.  I can only attribute this to the care given to me by Dr. Amy, best of all it happened without prescribed or over-the counter medication. 

(To update Bob's case:   He can now walk AS FAR AS HE WANTS without ever having the pain he experienced before spinal decompression.  'I'm a new man since my Spinal Decompression'!  July 2008- 19 months post decompression therapy)

I have been a patient now for over 17 years.  I have suffered 2 car accidents and have been flying as a flight attendant for over 16 years.  Several times a week I push and pull 150 lb. carts up and down the isles.  I deal with bumpy rides as weather is not always in our favor.  My most recent injury was in 2002 when I assisted in a medical emergency on the aircraft and had to recessitate a large woman in her late 60's as she stopped breathing.

I hurt my neck and the pain traveled down my shoulderblades and into my lower back.  I was off work for several months because of my pain and numbness in my arm.  Fountain Valley Chiropractic did a great job through therapy to get me back to work.  I struggled with pain on and off as it depended on how much I was flying, gardening, or just dealing with everyday chores.

When Fountain Valley Chiropractic introduced me to the Spinal Decompression table I have to admit I was a little hesitant.  Although the office was very thorough in explaining how the machine works, my skepticism still haunted me.  As I was a candidate for the procedure I agreed to try.  I figured I had nothing to loose and all to gain.

I went in for treatments everyday for 1 full month and it was painless.  In fact, I fell asleep a couple of times during my treatments.  I am here to tell you that since June of 2006 I have NOT had any pain.  I am full movement of my neck and back, I am working out 3-4 times a week, and I only come in for adjustments now and then.  This treatment in my eyes is a miracle to my everyday life!
