What is spinal degeneration?

Spinal degeneration describes age related changes affecting the discs, joints and supporting structures of the spine. These changes may contribute to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.

Can spinal degeneration be treated without surgery?

Many people manage spinal degeneration with conservative care including exercise rehabilitation, manual therapy, postural correction and lifestyle modifications depending on their individual presentation.

How we fix DJD with Decompression

As joints degenerate, they lose fluid and get closer together. Decompression creates space, which encourages the movement of synovial fluid (the joint's natural lubricant) into the facet joints and discs, reducing friction and pain.

Why Spinal Decompression for DJD?

It helps to halt the "downward spiral" of degeneration. By improving the nutrient exchange in the joints, we help keep the remaining cartilage healthy and the spine more mobile.

How long is the treatment Cycle? What should I expect on a typical Spinal Decompression Session ?

Phase 1: The Induction Phase (Weeks 1–2) Frequency: 5 sessions per week (daily, Monday–Friday). Goal: To rapidly reduce acute inflammation and achieve the initial "vacuum" effect to begin retracting herniated or bulging disc material. Results: Research shows that patients often experience a 50% reduction in pain scores within these first two weeks of intensive care. Phase 2: The Healing Phase (Weeks 3–4) Frequency: 3 sessions per week. Goal: To promote "imbibition" (the process of drawing nutrients, oxygen, and water back into the disc). This phase focuses on rehydrating the disc and strengthening the surrounding supportive tissues. Results: Improved mobility and a decrease in referred symptoms (like leg pain or sciatica). Phase 3: The Stabilisation Phase (Weeks 5–8) Frequency: 1–2 sessions per week. Goal: To consolidate the changes. This phase is almost always paired with core stabilization exercises to ensure the spine can maintain the newfound space without the assistance of the decompression table.
