The basics

What Is a SpineMED® Spinal Decompression Treatment?

SpineMED® spinal decompression is an advanced, non-surgical therapy designed to gently relieve pressure on the discs and nerves of the spine. It works by precisely targeting specific vertebral segments, creating a negative pressure within the disc space that helps draw bulging or herniated disc material back into place and promotes the flow of oxygen, water, and essential nutrients for natural healing.

The difference

Precision Rather Than Guesswork

Unlike older traction-based systems, SpineMED® Spinal Decompression uses a computer-controlled, fully automated platform that isolates and decompresses the exact spinal level needing treatment, without engaging surrounding muscles or causing discomfort. This patented design eliminates guesswork and ensures highly accurate, consistent results for each patient.

SpineMED® Spinal Decompression

  • Uses advanced sensor technology to continuously monitor and adjust tension for optimal decompression.
  • Provides a gentle, targeted approach that reduces muscle guarding and enhances treatment effectiveness.
  • Offers a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to surgery for chronic back and neck pain.
  • Is clinically proven to relieve symptoms associated with herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and radicular neuropathy: pain or numbness caused by nerve root compression.

Know the difference

Bulging Discs and Herniated Discs Are Not the Same Thing

Both involve the soft, shock-absorbing disc that sits between two vertebrae, and both can press on a nerve root and send pain down an arm or a leg. The difference is whether the outer wall of the disc is still intact.

Still contained

Bulging Disc

The disc flattens and spreads outward past its normal edge, a bit like a tyre that is low on air, but the tough outer wall stays intact and nothing leaks out. The bulge usually involves a wide section of the disc and comes on gradually with age and wear.

  • Outer wall intact, nothing escapes
  • Often affects a broad part of the disc
  • Builds slowly, and may cause no symptoms at all
  • Symptoms tend to be a dull ache or stiffness

Wall torn

Herniated Disc

The outer wall cracks and some of the soft inner material pushes through, the way jam escapes a doughnut that has been squeezed. It is usually a smaller, more concentrated spot, and the escaped material can irritate the nerve chemically as well as by pressing on it.

  • Outer wall torn, inner material pushes out
  • Usually one focused spot rather than a wide bulge
  • Can start suddenly, sometimes after a lift or a twist
  • More likely to cause sharp, radiating pain, numbness or weakness

SpineMED® Spinal Decompression is used for both. By creating negative pressure inside the disc space, it aims to draw the displaced material back toward the centre and let oxygen, water and nutrients return to the disc. Which one you have, and whether decompression is appropriate for it, depends on your imaging and your examination.

In their words

Relief After Years of Back and Nerve Pain

I’m so fortunate to have found the Neuropathy & Healing Center. I have been in pain for about 30 years and nothing worked where I couldn’t walk anymore and now I can walk better thanks to the SpineMED and myofascial therapy. The neuropathy, pain and numbness in my legs are getting less and I can bend my neck better now. I can turn it and I can stand and balance better.

I noticed after just 3 treatments when she laser the bottom of my foot, I flinched. Before it was dead there with no reaction whatsoever, but in the middle of the foot there is feeling already. It’s been 8 years since I’ve had feeling there. I cannot believe this treatment wouldn’t be adopted and embraced by the medical field. When the laser hit the bottom of my foot I kind of reacted so there is something happening. I mean if this is working, it’s life changing.

You know when you can get up out of a chair and walk it’s huge, it’s your life back. After I had sciatica, I could not walk from my house to my mailbox. I couldn’t stand up long enough to brush my teeth and now I can walk three times a day. I couldn’t have done this without Dr. Broome. I didn’t even know it was possible.
