Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy and Disc Rehydration™
Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy(SRT)™ is the 21st century solution to chronic back and neck pain utilizing the most newest medical technology available. This new technology allows us to reverse the damaging effects that gravity has on our bodies without leaving Earth. SRT is a painless procedure with unparelleled benefits. This newest technology enables us to provide our patients with the highest quality alternative solution. Numerous conditions are relieved including but not limited to, chronic back pain,spinal disc problems,sciatica,neck pain,scoliosis, spinal stenosis,pinched nerves and even headaches.

Whole Body Vibration
Another unique feature of this SRT table is that, unlike today's decompression tables, it uses Whole Body Vibration(WBV) to relax muscle spasms in the spine and body. Extensive research has been conducted over the last decade providing efficacy of WBV for 1) quick and effective reduction of muscle spasm 2) healing of injured tissues 3) increasing the strength of postural muscles supporting the spine by up to 25%. Using WBV has theraputic benefits that will accelerate the rehabilitation of injured disc tissue as well as enhance spinal correction. No decompression table available today uses WBV and it is patent pending.

Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy(SRT) is a system designed to restore intradiscal height and lordotic curve. Patients who undergo SRT have experienced restoration of normal range of motion and lordotic curve, disc rehydration and increased core strengthening.

Protocols
1. Water/Nutrition
-The body is approximately 73% water.People who are dehydrated and have musculoskeltal problems are at about 55% water. The spinal disc nucleous is 88% water. Degenerative discs are dehyrated and have abnormal function. The doctor must begin with hydration to achieve disc rejuvenation and reduction of musculoskeltal symptoms. Patients must drink half an once of water per pound of body weigth per day. SRT includes the consumption of 1-2 ounces of mineral salt water and 16 ounces of fresh water infused with nutrients formulated to reduce inflamation and allow disc rejuvenation.
2. Muscles-Muscle spasm prevents motion of the spine, which will not allow spinal structural correction.SRT reduces red tissue adhesions and spasms, and begins the remodeling of scar tissue in old spinal injuries, reducing soft-tissue restance to achieve structural change.
3. Discs-Alternating loading and unloading cycles are utilized to soften the hard gelatinous discs. Once SRT is applieded to soften and temporarily remove the elastic energy from the disc, spinal change can occur. The loading and unloading cycles also cause disc rehydration for spinal rejuvenation.
4. Motion-Spinal axial distraction(decompression) is applied only after the soft tissues have been prepared. Decompression is utilized to created motion throughtout the entire spine, all the way down to L5/S1. Spinal structural correction can only be accomplished with full spinal movement.
5. Muscle Balance-body weights are used to retain proprioceptive reflexes of the brain to allow structural and postural correction of the spine. Patients use weights while performing balance and proprioceptive exercises. This achieves structural correction of the spine while strethening the muscles of the spine to hold the new structure. This accerlerates structural correction of the spine.
6. Isometric Exercises-Mucsle supports curves. Muscles support the lordotic curve. Once the correction has been made with the previous five steps, the patient can begin performing isometric exercise to strengthen the muscles that will allow curve correction. As the muscles gain strength, they will be better able to hold the new corrected curves.

SRT is totally safe and confortable for all patients.There are no known side effects of SRT.


DECOMPRESSION THERAPY


Decompression Therapy aka Spinal Decompression Therapy or Chiropractor - Health Care Services Axial Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical, non drug procedure that effectively treats disabling low back, neck, and radiating leg & arm pain. Decompression Therapy effectively relieves pain associated with disc herniation, disc protrusion, disc bulging, degenerative discs, Sciatica and posterior facet syndromes, due to decompression of spinal discs and facet joints, that is unloading due to distraction and positioning. Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle.


Research to develop this procedure was conductd by prominent physicians, engineers and technicians at major teaching hospitals. Decompression Therapy is an effective treatment for patients suffering herniated or degenrative discs, Sciatica as well as posterior facet syndrome which responds well to the distraction. Certain conditions such as fractures, gross osteoporosis, and tumors are non candidates for this treatment.

Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions typically 3 times per week. Each session is approximately 12-15 minutes. After treatment the doctor may do low level laser therapy to help the residual soft tissue such as muscles, tendons and nerve tissue. The doctor may also prescibe exercise designed to help you regain control and strenghthen the co-contractor muscles which are responsible for stabilization.

Decompression Therapy is admininstered to patients fully clothed face down or face up on the table.

Clinical studies suggest Decompression Therapy provides a majority of qualified candidates with initial relief within a few sessions. Maximum benefit is usually achieved within 8-15 sessions. Decompression Thearapy is an FDA approved procedure that is covered by most insurance companies.

Research indicates the disc is responsible for a significant number of Lumbar/Leg pain and Neck/Arm pain syndromes.Compression increases intradiscal pressure leading to annualar compromise and possible extrusion of the nuclear material. Since the disc is avascular structure, it doesn't recieve fresh blood and oxygen with every beat of the heart.It requires "diffusion" created by motion and" decompression" to restore nutrients and enhancing healing.


Cold Laser aka Low Level laser Therapy

Cold Laser for Sports related injuries
In recent time much attention is given to the effects of physical activities and regular exercise for lifelong fitness and quality of life. Sports injuries result from acute trauma or repetitive strain. They can affect soft tissue, such as muscles, ligaments & tendons. cold laser is very effective in the treatment of many common sports related traumas. Routinely used by professional athletes, by their therapists to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, speed up healing, accelerate tissue regeneration, minimize scar tissue formation and shorten recovery time.

Painless Carpal Tunnel Relief-Cold Laser Therapy
The cold laser is non-burning, non-surgical and painless. Most patients that receive this therapy are unable to feel the treatment and are able to return to regular daily activities. Cold lasers are low level lasers capable of going through the skin to cause photobiostimulation to the tissue reducing inflammation, pain and hypersensitivity to nerve damage.

Cold Lasers help Neck pain from Automobile accidents, Shoulder pain, Elbow pain, Back pain, Leg & Knee pain, Tendonitis &sprains/strains.
There are over 2,000 reports and over 100 double blind published studies that show the scientific benefits of cold laser. You can do a search on Cold laser and you will find much information about this amazing therapy.

Low Level Laser Therapy is a process that uses light energy directly applied to the injured tissues which affects incresed cell metabolism in regard to the cell repair sites at the level of the injured tissue.

It does this by a producing PHOTOCHEMICAL MECHANISM. PHOTOS are discrete energy packets of electromagnetic radiation. EG: Visible Red Light and near Infrared radiation. Photons absorbed in the Mitochondria & Cell Membrane. Singlet oxygen is produced, changes in membrane permeability. ATP synthesized, DNA produced.
