What Are Spinal Decompression Tables


Spinal decompression therapy is gaining popularity because it is said to be an efficient method of treatment for severe back pain associated with DDD or degenerative disc diseases, sciatica, herniated disc and other spine and disc diseases. This therapy involves the use of several spine decompression tables to guarantee the best results. Spine therapy will not be possible without proper equipment to work with it.

Decompression tables are designed solely for spinal therapy. They are cannot be used for any other purposes. While inversion tables are cheap alternative to decompress the spine, they are also use for some stretching and fitness exercises. This is not possible with such tables. They are machines professionally operated or computer - controlled and they should not be used by anybody who doesn't really know what the machine is all about and what they are for. Such a table works to create tractions increasing the spaces between the vertebrae and reducing the pressure in the spine muscles thus allowing total spine decompression and relief.

There are many different types of spine therapy tables. They even come in separate designs for specific purposes. The most popular types are the DOC Flexion decompression table, Vax - D able and the DRX9000. These tables will always come with a very expensive price. Whether you go for a brand new one or used table, expect that their prices will not be 10,000 dollars lower. If you think you cannot afford purchasing one of these tables, then maybe a visit to a clinic for spinal therapy is a good idea. However, it may still be expensive, but you could at least try. Each session will cost you more or less $200 depending on the attending physician or chiropractor and you will need 20 sessions or more depending on the extent of the pain and your condition as well.
