Farmington SpineMED® Decompression
Chronic lower back pain?
Shooting pain down your leg(s)?
Herniated, bulging, slipped, or degenerated discs?
Non-surgical spinal decompression could be the answer you are looking for. We’ve helped hundreds of people who have tried everything else, including surgery, and haven’t received relief from chronic lower back pain and leg pain.
What is SpineMED® Designed to Do?
Damaged intervertebral discs seldom heal as the discs are constantly under pressure.
Decompression, or the reduction of pressure inside the discs, facilitates the transfer of fluids, nutrients and oxygen back inside the disc which promotes the retraction of bulging or herniated discs.
Indications
SpineMED® is a conservative procedure for patients suffering discogenic pain caused by:
- Bulging disc
- Herniated disc
- Degenerative disc disease
- Posterior Facet syndrome
- Sciatica
- Post-surgical patients
- Spinal Stenosis
- Non-specified mechanical low back or neck pain
SpineMED® is designed to help patients with lumbar or cervical disc pathologies and is congruent with other conservative treatment options
Contraindications
The low force requirements associated with SpineMED® limit the contraindications significantly.
The primary contraindications for SpineMED® decompression are:
- Instabilities of the spine, such as recent fractures
- Bilateral pars defects
- Unstable spondylolisthesis (typically grade 2 and above)
- Gross osteoporosis
- Cancers or tumors of the spine
- Surgical hardware fixation in the region of the spine being targeted
- Pregnancy
- Patients under the age of 15
Disc fragmentation, calcification, severe arthritis and any surgical spinal appliances are all relative contraindications. Post surgical patients are NOT contraindicated unless they have surgical hardware fixation in the region of the spine being targeted. In fact, failed back patients may respond well to SpineMED®.
