An option for patients with Laval and North Shore suffering from herniated discs (L4-L5, L5-S1) refractory to traditional manual treatment
APPROVED BY HEALTH CANADA
The SpineMED Disc Decompression System is designed and certified to FDA 510, U.S Patent and Health Canada global medical standards. 3rd generation device.

How to relieve herniated discs with Neurovertebral Decompression

Neurovertebral decompression

It is a Technology Developed By American Orthopedic Surgeons And Used In American, Brazilian, German, Korean And Even Japanese Hospitals!

In some cases, this is a non-invasive alternative to spinal surgery.

Computer controlled and equipped with sensors, the table gently stretches the spine without causing muscle resistance and in a safe manner.

The neurovertebral decompression is one option among others. The assessment determines whether it is right for your situation.

THE TREATMENT

All treatments are administered to the fully clothed patient.

For lumbar treatments, the patient is comfortably seated on the table and the patented pelvic retainer is adjusted to properly stabilize the patient's pelvis. The thorax and pelvis are stabilized by a comfortable system incorporated in the fixed section of the table. The patented tilting section is computer-aided and enables the exertion of low negative forces in the form of microtractions on certain segments of the column, in a very precise and safe manner.

For cervical procedures, the device electronically tilts to the angle required to target certain segments of the cervical vertebrae. The patient is then placed on the table by positioning him in the cervical headrest. The cervical retainer comfortably stabilizes the base of the patient's skull and helps control distraction.

A typical session consists of 15 minutes of warmth, followed by 30 minutes of decompression with the SpineMED system and 15 minutes of therapy with ice.

The process is painless and safe: some patients will even fall asleep during the treatment!

HOW DOES Spinal Decompression WORK?

regeneration of disks

The disc has at its center a gelatinous nucleus (the nucleus) surrounded by a fibrous ring (the annulus).

Discs are not supplied with blood vessels for regeneration. Disc cells are nourished by the diffusion of nutrients and oxygen through the vertebral endplates.

This transfer of nutrients depends on the pressure difference between the inside of the disc, the surrounding vertebrae and blood vessels.

This is why the nutrition and regeneration of the discs occurs while lying down, reducing the pressure inside the discs.

This process loses its effectiveness with age causing increasing wear and tear.

The discs thus lose their ability to heal and regenerate.

HERNIATED DISC

Every day, our discs are prone to injury and degeneration when we use our backs. They compress and twist when we sit, bend or lift.

At the two lower levels of the lumbar discs the compressive forces can be 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per square inch. Repeated injuries weaken and eventually cause an annular tear.

As pressure builds up inside the discs, these tears produce a disc protrusion resembling an old, deformed tire. If all the fibrous layers tear, the gelatinous core spills outwards, causing a herniated disc.

An herniated disc can put pressure on a nerve, causing sciatica or radiculopathy. During normal activities, pressure inside the discs varies between 100mm/HG and 300mm/HG.

UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES MIGHT NEUROVERTEBRAL DECOMPRESSION BE CONSIDERED?

Can neurovertebral decompression and chiropractic help me?

We are very likely to be able to help you if you are suffering from:

Burning pain in the legs or thighs,

Numbness in the hands, feet or limbs,

Stiffness in the neck, mid-back or lower back that even chiropractic care alone cannot alleviate.

By combining the chiropractic care approach and the treatment of neuro-vertebral decompression SPINEMED, we will help you find a better state of health. To determine if this treatment is for you, we will do a thorough physical examination of your spine and nervous system.

By neurological tests, biomechanical examinations and all necessary x-rays we will make a precise diagnosis of your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

WHAT THE EXAM ASSESSES

A chiropractic examination identifies the source of the pain and checks for contraindications before recommending neurovertebral decompression. This content is for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for an evaluation by a healthcare professional.

SpineMED is a non-surgical decompression technology used to treat patients with herniated discs and back pain associated with osteoarthritis. The SpineMED system applies a controlled, intermittent decompression force to the spine, which decompresses the discs and relieves pressure on the nerves. The decompression force is applied using a special vest and a pulley system, allowing the patient to remain comfortable during treatments. SpineMED treatments are generally administered over a period of several weeks or months, and the number of treatments required depends on the severity of the condition being treated. The evaluation will determine whether this approach is appropriate for your situation.

AN OPTION TO CONSIDER

Systemic back and neck pain affect a large portion of the population at one time or another in their lives and can limit daily activities.

Neurovertebral decompression using the SpineMED device is one option among others. The evaluation will determine whether it is appropriate for your situation.

Some questions / answers from our patients about the causes and symptoms...

What contraindication for decompression?

Neurovertebral decompression uses controlled negative pressure to decompress the spine and relieve pain. It may be considered for conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. However, there are certain contraindications to neurovertebral decompression. These include osteoporosis, cancer, and infection. In addition, patients with metal implants or other metallic objects in the spine may not be candidates for this type of treatment. Decompression may also be discouraged for pregnant women or those who have recently undergone surgery. If you are considering neurovertebral decompression, be sure to discuss your entire medical history with your doctor to ensure that it is the right treatment for you.

Is a herniated disc very painful ?

A herniated disc can cause a lot of pain. When the disc decompresses, the internal material can come out and press on the nerves around it. This can cause radiating pain, numbness or weakness in the extremities. In severe cases, it can also cause bladder or bowel dysfunction. If you think you have a herniated disc, it is important to see a doctor immediately. He or she will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend treatment options. Treatment may include pain medication, physical therapy or surgery. Our team will provide you with excellent service to relieve your pain.

What is lumbar arthrodesis ?

Lumbar spinal fusion is a type of decompression surgery that is used to relieve pain in the lower back. The normal-looking procedure involves fusing the bones of the spine, which stabilizes the spine and decompresses the nerves. In most cases, lumbar spine fusion is performed as a minimally invasive surgery, which means that it requires smaller incisions and has a shorter recovery time. In some cases, patients must stay in the hospital for a few days after the procedure, but most people are able to go home within a week. Recovery time varies by individual, but most people report significant pain reduction within a few months.
