Spinal Decompression

Why spinal disc decompression works:

This FDA-cleared technology relieves pain through a form of traction, with spinal decompression the desired result. DiscForce provides TDC^TM Therapy. TDC Therapy targets specific segments of pathology and thus can isolate treatment to the specific area. The goal of both the technology and the physician is to work with the body's natural healing powers toward enlarging the space between the discs. Decompression releases pressure that builds on the disc and nerves, eventually allowing the herniated and bulging disc to return to its normal position. Decompression is the treatment that is truly most effective for severe cases of herniation, degeneration, arthritis, stenosis and pressure on the nerve root. Of course, there are no guarantees for decompression but there are no guarantees for surgery or any invasive procedure. Dr. Timothy Kremchek, one of the world's leading orthopedic surgeons, recommends DiscForce prior to surgery or injections. With decompression, the cost is significantly less than surgery, and the chance of hospital infection is absent.

What is a disc? What does a disc do?

The disc is a soft cartilaginous material that separates the spinal vertebrae. It consists of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosis, a water-like content. We have discs starting at the third cervical all the way down to the lowest lumbar vertebrae, L5. The disc's center is composed of a jelly-like substance called the nucleus and an outer layer called the annulus. These discs act as shock-absorbers. After we are done growing, usually around 17 in women and 18 years or above in men, these discs can become avascular (meaning they do not receive a good blood supply). One of the reasons that our discs give us so many problems is that they do not heal well without a good blood supply. Discs are naturally avascular, so they need to be challenged. DiscForce and TDC Therapy do this.

When a patient damages or breaks a bone, it often heals quickly and sometimes is stronger than before. But our discs are avascular, so if a disc is injured it continues to degenerate and does not heal properly. Thus, the need for treatment and intervention. One of the amazing benefits of DiscForce and TDC Therapy is the decompression result commonly obtained. This result often heightens the disc space, returning it to normal size and function.
