Disc Healing Process
and Illustrations
Progressive Stages of Disc Damage
-
The disc goes through a
drying out process called
disc
degeneration that usually
takes several years. The disc becomes brittle, cracks
and tears through the outer ring called the annulus.
-
Next the nucleus pushes through the annulus causing the
disc to bulge.
-
The annulus now tears completely through and a
herniation is produced.

How Decompression Heals the
Disc
|
Reversing the damage with the SpineTREX
®
Decompression
Program. The pressure inside the disc drops from a a positive 25 millimeters mercury to
a negative pressure 150 millimeters mercury producing a
vacuum effect. This negative pressure draws into the
disc water, oxygen, and
nutrients, thereby
re-hydrating the degenerated disc.
Repeated pressure differential
draws the center jelly like substance, the herniated nucleus
back into place. |

Three Dimensional
View of the Disc Retracting from
Decompression
|
The red protrusion is
the herniated nucleus of the disc, pressing on the nerve
that can send abnormal sensations such as pain or
numbness down the leg.
|
 |
You
can see that the red protrusion representing the herniated disc
is retracting due to the vacuum effect produced by the
decompression. |

MRI Demonstrating the Retraction of the
Herniation and Healing of the Disc
|
This patient had a five year history of on
and off back pain until a fall produced a sharp shooting pain
down her right leg. The MRI demonstrated a significant disc
herniation. The radiologist who was unfamiliar with the
SpineTREX
® decompression
program stated he thought her only option was disc surgery.
After
6 weeks of the
SpineTREX
® program she was
pain free. A follow up MRI was taken a few months later and
demonstrated that the disc was healed. |
