Computer-Assisted Treatment and variable geometry spinal decompression TM

What kinds of medical conditions can be treated with spinal decompression ?

The spinal decompression is a treatment for various spinal problems, including :

  • disc herniation;
  • sciatica;
  • lumbar sprain;
  • chronic back problems;
  • neck pain;
  • joint problems;
  • chronic headaches or migraine.

The exclusive articulating features of VARIABLE GEOMETRY spinal decompression provide a gentle, soothing and effective treatment that patients appreciate.

Why should you choose variable geometry spinal decompression instead of other decompression ?

VARIABLE GEOMETRY spinal decompression's specialized articulation features allow the spine to be positioned in the most advantageous posture for treatment. This is why it has become the treatment of choice for a growing number of doctors in the United-States. Offered at Dr. Robidoux's clinic, articulating non-surgical spinal decompression provides significant advantages.

In the Province of Quebec only linear decompression was available and used by health care professionals, but this is no longer the case anymore. We are pleased to introduce you to the VARIABLE GEOMETRY spinal decompression, the first spinal decompression system than can restore spinal "range-of-motion" (the recorded measurement of how far our joints can move).

Why is it so innovative? Unlike linear decompression where the patient is treated in a neutral straight posture that cannot be varied or changed, with articulating decompression patients can be placed in the position that is best suited to their condition. It is multi-directional, multi-postural, unlimited therapy.

Why is variable geometry spinal decompression a therapy breakthrough for back problems ?

One of the most common causes of back problems is a narrowing of the disc space between two vertebrae. MRI studies* reveal that decompression can improve vertebral spacing and disc hydration (moisture). With VARIABLE GEOMETRY spinal decompression it is possible to treat back problems with non-surgical and non-invasive approach.
