Dr. Janis Guthy

Dr. Guthy found that there was a real need for non-surgical spinal decompression as a number of her patients were suffering from herniated and protruded discs, spinal stenosis, and degernerative disc disease.Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression has the capability of relieving pressure on the spinal nerves caused by disc herniations, bulges and degenerative disc disease. It is helpful for conditions such as sciatica, facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis. Non-Surgical Spinal decompression therapy is used to treat acute or chronic neck or low back pain associated with neurological symptoms.

Spinal Decompression relieves pressure on the spinal nerves through the use of a mechanical traction device applied through a highly sensitive computer. With Spinal Decompressions Precise Computer controlled tension, the appropriate disc levels are gently and painlessly distracted to achieve a negative pressure within the disc. The negative pressure created in the nucleus pulposus allows compresed discs to be Re-Oxygenated, Re-Hydrated and Re-Nutrified. Spinal Decompression is:

• Painless
• Non-Invasive
• Highly Effective
• No Known Side Effects
• Precise, Computer-Controlled
