Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression – Advanced Disc Relief
Spinal decompression is a state-of-the-art, non-surgical treatment designed to alleviate the pain associated with disc injuries and nerve root compression. At North Hollywood Spine Center, Dr. Singer utilizes FDA-cleared computerized equipment to provide gentle, controlled traction, offering patients in North Hollywood and Los Angeles a powerful alternative to invasive procedures like surgery or injections.
How Spinal Decompression Works:
The treatment involves precise, computer-controlled traction applied to the spine, which gently separates the vertebrae. This action creates a negative intradiscal pressure (or a vacuum effect) within the damaged disc.
Key Mechanisms of Relief:
Disc Retraction: The negative pressure encourages bulging or herniated disc material to retract back into its proper place.
Reduced Nerve Compression: As the disc retracts, pressure is immediately taken off the compressed spinal nerves, reducing radiating pain (sciatica or arm pain).
Enhanced Nutrient Flow: The pressure change promotes the influx of nutrient-rich fluids, oxygen, and necessary healing components into the disc space, stimulating the disc's natural repair process.
Pain Relief: By eliminating the mechanical and chemical source of nerve irritation, pain is significantly reduced, often within the first few sessions.
Conditions Successfully Treated:
Spinal decompression is clinically proven to be effective for chronic conditions that often fail to respond to traditional conservative care:
Herniated Discs & Bulging Discs: The primary indication for non-surgical decompression.
Sciatica (Lumbar Radiculopathy): Pain and numbness caused by compressed nerves in the lower spine.
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD): Slows the degenerative process and improves disc hydration.
Spinal Stenosis: Helps increase the space available for the spinal cord and nerves.
Chronic Low Back and Neck Pain: Especially when disc pathology is a contributing factor.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): Provides a viable non-invasive option for post-surgical patients still experiencing pain.
Dr. Singer’s Integrated Treatment Protocol:
While decompression is highly effective, Dr. Singer's clinical orthopedic approach ensures long-term results by combining the therapy with complementary treatments:
Clinical Evaluation: A comprehensive orthopedic assessment determines if you are a candidate for decompression, ruling out contraindications and ensuring the precise treatment plan.
Decompression Sessions: A series of targeted sessions delivered by the specialized equipment, monitored closely for patient comfort and response.
Chiropractic Adjustments: Expert spinal and joint mobilization is performed to ensure the newly relaxed vertebrae and surrounding joints are properly aligned.
Orthopedic Soft-Tissue Therapy: Specialized manual therapy is applied to release muscle spasms, trigger points, and myofascial tension surrounding the injured area, enhancing the effects of decompression.
Functional Rehabilitation: Corrective exercises are prescribed to strengthen the core muscles that support the spine, preventing future disc damage and maintaining the treatment benefits.
