What results can I expect from an ABS table?
Most
patients are scheduled for approximately 20 sessions lasting 30
minutes. The physician will customize this regimen to meet each
patient's specific needs.
The treatments generally
take place over a 4-5 week period. Often, most patients see relief
as fast as the first 6 treatments.
Pre- and Post- treatment MRIs have shown
a reduction in the size and extent of most patients' herniation(s)
after the decompression treatment.
In
initial clinical studies a majority of patients reported relief of
back pain from decompression therapy.
What is the
difference between the ABS system and traction?
Traction disperses energy from weights between the majority of
spinal segments thus reducing the actual amount of pull necessary to
create negative pressure.
The
ABS System isolates L1 through L5 by its unique air bladder and
angle of distraction. Simple traction does not create high negative
interdiscal pressure. The ABS System focuses on overcoming intrinsic
muscle responses of the spine by relaxing the patient.
