What You Need To Know
The Manual Decompression Program is a non-surgical, seven step program designed to address spinal dysfunctions associated with sciatica, radiculopathy, herniated discs and other conditions of the back, neck and shoulder. Designed to break the pain cycle, strengthen your back and alleviate future pain through a combination of Manual Spinal Decompression using the Inertial Extenzilizer, functional unweighting using Pneuback Equipment, vibration therapy and clinical strengthening, the Manual Decompression Program can help get you on your way to a healthy, more active lifestyle.
Seven Step Program:
Step 1: Assessment of Body Mechanics, Hydration and Nutrition
- Define Your Posture
- Measure postural lean (forward/negative)
- Measure lateral curves
- Measure symmetry
- Complete Exam
- Review Patients HX, Diagnostic exams.
- Take any X-rays necessary and order more diagnostics (if needed).
- Review patients nutritional habits and make necessary suggestions for improvement and optimal healing.
*Review complete findings and determine if patient is a candidate for this type of treatment
Step 2: Manual Spinal Decompression Adjustment using Inertial Extenzilizer
- Decrease adhesions throughout spinal column
- Create negative pressure that creates a vacuum effect to alleviate pressure on affected nerve endings.
- Improve circulation (remove swelling)
- Remove guarding and reduce muscle spasms
Step 3: Pneu-UnWeight Treadmill
- Evaluate & correct gait
- Remove pain
- Improve circulation
- Improve balance
- Muscle recruitment
- Specific activation
Step 4: Back Stretch Chair Flexibility and Range of Motion
Step 5: Pneu-Back Chair with Unweighting
- Eliminate Pain
- Relax back muscles
- Increase range of motion
- Activate core muscles
Step 6: Pro Vibe Plate Exercises
- Special Muscle Recruitment
- Strengthen the core
- Improve balance
- Upper-lower body separation
Step 7: Pneu-Back Chair
- Activate and Strengthen the Spine
- Isolate the large muscles
- Work small spinal muscles
- Improve posture
