Phases of Treatment

Our unique treatment protocol is divided into three major phases that are performed simultaneously. All three phases are an integral part of this system to ensure the patient’s recovery is quick and successful. The end result is elimination of pain, and an increased quality of life.

Phase 1: Vertebral Decompression System

Traction therapy has been around for thousands of years and has always been used to treat various chronic conditions. Vertebral decompression is similar, but much more advanced. Vertebral Decompression involves the use of a specially designed table attached to an advanced bio-feedback computer module. During a consultation with a doctor, specific parameters for each patient such as history of condition, weight, and age are factored into prescribing a customized treatment plan, consisting of the number of sessions required, and their frequency. The computerized technology allows the table to pull and decompress the spine by making mechanical changes comfortably. For example, if there is problem at the L4 and L5 region of the lumbar spine, then those two segments would be “pulled” from each other. This distractive force performs decompression of the L4 and L5, allowing increased blood flow to this regions, and in turn allowing the disc and joint(s) to receive nutrition for repair and strengthening.

The overall procedure is calming – In fact, most patients find the treatment relaxing and read magazines or listen to music during treatment. It is imperative that the patient follows the treatment and exercise schedule as prescribed by the consulting specialist.

Phase 2: Oxygen Enhancement (Certain Patients Only)

This second phase of the system offers patients the unique combination of inhaling pure grade oxygen (up to 92%) while undergoing the spinal decompression procedure. Oxygen may provide relief from muscle stiffness caused by the build-up of lactic acid. (Note that this is not oxygen therapy)

Benefits to oxygen treatment include: boosting the immune system, improving memory, enhancing the lymphatic system, and reducing toxins and acidity to help prevent headaches and other ailments. It is beneficial for the entire body. Together with decompression and the breathing of purer oxygen, the patient feels a sense of calming, relief and relaxation.

Phase 3: Neuro-Nutrition*

In the third phase of the system, patients are first given a premium herbal reliever in capsule form. This formulation – traditionally used to strengthen the bones and alleviate aches and pains – is used to reduce spinal pain and for the support and maintenance of skeletal health. Secondly, during the course of the treatment program, the patient is given a nutritional, all-organic “superfood” drink to expedite the healing of joints and discs. The liquid drink provides 64 easily absorbed vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, all of which can work to improve overall biochemical balance and well-being of the affected discs and joints.

The three phases combined create a unique treatment procedure offered at the American Decompression and Pain Centers™. All three stages are integral to the system to ensure that the patient’s recovery is quick, successful and long term. Many patients feel immediate relief from pain, but the goal of the treatment program is to eliminate pain long term, not temporarily, and to restore and improve the patient’s quality of life.
