Spinal Decompression Therapy

What is spinal decompression?

Computerized spinal decompression, known as LDT or Lumbar Decompression Threapy, relieves back pain by diminishing the pressure on the spinal joints, nerves and discs.

The ability to target specific discs and vertebral levels, along with the individual computerized settings, gives the doctor a wide range of treatment options for acute and chronic pain syndromes

The great thing about the Lordex® procedure is that 97% of the people who suffer from chronic and severe low back pain are potential candidates.

Even though back pain is often difficult to manage, it is encouraging to know that a standard of care has emerged that has the capability to manage even the most severe cases and has been embraced by Spinal Surgeons, Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physical Therapists alike.

“Besides being safe, non-invasive and painless, it allows physicians a place to refer patients that does not involve surgery,” says Tom Dunn, P.T.

"Lumbar Decompression Therapy (LDT) and Strength Restoration Therapy (SRT) are the biggest innovations in spine care and have success reats as high or higher than surgery in many cases,” says Tom Dunn PT, a 30 year physical therapy practitioner.
