Animation of Spinal Decompression

Hey,

Doctor Ryan Alter here. I wanted to show you a quick little animation on what spinal decompression for the lower back actually looks like. So spinal decompression is a computerized therapy type table that a patient can lay down on and actually can,

can pull the spine apart,

taking pressure off the joints,

the discs,

the nerves in the lower back.

Okay. So here’s a little animation. You can see here you’re,

you’re going to be laying in a what’s called a supine position face up. And there’s a couple of harnesses. And what’s happening is The table starts to separate

and pull the spine apart and the disc gets pulled apart. Nutrients are pumped in throughout this whole area

and pressure comes up and off those nerves.

It looks like this on the spine. Okay. Our,

our body is under gravity and getting compressed and crushed. And a lot of people wind up with a big problem down here. And when we

We’re able to put you on a decompression. We can pull the spine apart like that

and you can see the space there. The disc gets pumped

and there’s space for the nerve there.

Great treatment that combined with the chiropractic adjustment is one of the best kind of one,

two approaches that physical medicine has to offer. We’re here in Delray beach. The consultation is always free. If you’d like to visit with me,

I’m happy to sit down

and go over exactly what’s going on with you

and put together a plan to help you get the best results possible.
