ABSTRACT
A herniated disc is the most common cause of back pain. Novel spinal decompression technology enables treatment without the active involvement of the patient, which can be advantageous, especially in the treatment of elderly patients.
Questionnaires of thirty-eight adult patients diagnosed with lumbar or cervical disc herniation treated with a spinal decompression treatment program comprising 6 therapy sessions were reviewed. Oswestry low back pain questionnaire or Neck disability questionnaire and Numeric Pain Rating Scale obtained before the first and after the last treatment was assessed.
Significant improvement by 26% and 31% in the disability index and by 48% and 53% in pain perception was reported for disc herniation at the lumbar and cervical levels, respectively. While a significant correlation between patients’ age and Oswestry Disability Index obtained before and after the spinal decompression treatment program was observed, there was no significant association between age and the magnitude of therapy outcomes.
Spinal decompression therapy demonstrated a significant impact in patients with herniated discs at both lumbar and cervical levels. No significant association between patients’ age and therapy outcomes was observed, predisposing this approach to becoming a universal tool in the treatment of back pain regardless of patients’ age, herniated disc location, or movement limitations.

A herniated disc is the most common cause of back pain.
Experts from various medical fields as neurology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, rehabilitation and physiotherapy gathered at a recent meeting to exchange ideas....
Pain, sensory abnormalities, muscle weakness and movement limitation are typical symptoms of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.
