I want to explain what these tables do. They are non surgical spinal decompression tables, right? So what happens is, over the course of time, I’m going to put this just in my armpit here, but over the course of time, all that weight, gravity, sitting on that lower back gets smushed, smushed, smushed, smushed, smushed.
I love the analogy of a donut, right? You have the dough there, you have the dough there, a jelly donut that is, and the jelly in between. The jelly is a disc. But as it gets smushed and smushed and smushed, right, that causes pressure on those nerves and even the spinal cord. These spinal decompression tables open that space up.
They open it, open it, open it, relaxing those areas so that your body can heal all the nutrients. It’s called negative pressure. With negative pressure, it allows nutrients to flow back in, when those discs suck back in where they want, rather than being bulged. I’m going to explain to you on this model here.
This is such a great model. But right here, We have a segment here. All right, let’s just picture this in the lower back, neck, anywhere. All of them look very similar. You have nerves that come out, you have the spinal cord down here, and this is the disc. So this is gravity right here. It gets smushed and you can see that bulges everywhere.
But what happens over time, it gets smushed and smushed and smushed and it starts pushing pressure on the nerve. Just if I put your finger in there, that’s going to hurt. Now what happens with a herniation or major disc issue, and this is what these tables are designed for. is you get this bulge and you see that red right there.
Let’s go. Okay. And that can cause sciatic pain, dysfunction, drop foot, anything. So what this table does, I’m gonna show you from the side here. What this table does is it instead of a compressed like this, it really helps open it up there. So it keeps on letting it open, letting nutrients back in the disc, allowing you to be pain free.
Okay. Symptoms go away and function much better. Tell others, okay. Everyone could benefit from the spinal decompression. I am so excited to have these in this office. Thank you. I’m Dr. Scott Graziosa from Life Aligned Chiropractic.
