WHAT IS NEGATIVE PRESSURE?
&
WHY IS IT SO CRITICAL IN
SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY?
Mountain View, Missouri (West Plains / Willow Springs / Cabool / Winona / Summersville) ---- Spinal Decompression Doctor, Russell Schierling, presents another blog article on Spinal Decompression Therapy.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
If you look at very much information about Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy, you will notice that the number one goal of the process is to achieve something called "Negative Pressure" inside of the Spinal Disc.  Negative Pressure is critical because it is what allows the jelly center (the Nucleus Pulposus) to be 'sucked' back inside a stretched or torn Annulus (the ligamentous rings that keep the jelly center in place).  What are some of the ways that you can aid this process on your own?

For one, get to and maintain your optimal weight.  When you carry extra weight --- particularly ABDOMINAL FAT ---- there is an incredible amount of mechanical pressure that is exerted on the Spinal Discs.  I am also a big advocate of using an Inversion Table.  Many people get relief from their disc symptoms by using Inversion Therapy.  Just make sure that you do it the right way (HERE).  For severe cases of HERNIATED DISCS, Spinal Decompression Therapy is a logical choice if your goal is to avoid surgery. 

Spinal Decompression Therapy gently pulls on your low back, creating Negative Pressure inside of the Spinal Discs.  Think of Negative Pressure as a vacuum.  As the pressure inside the disc decreases, something has to fill that void.  The herniated portion of the disc is allowed to be pulled back under center.  With the proper amount of time, nutrition, and OTHER FACTORS, the majority of these discs can heal without SURGICAL INTERVENTION.  For more on this topic, you can READ THIS.

While non-surgical treatments like spinal decompression therapy can help some people with herniated discs, they may not work for everyone. Surgery may be the best next option for relieving pain and improving quality of life when other treatments have failed. With our technology today, some surgical procedures are minimally invasive, such as microtube spine surgery.
