A disc under constant load stays under load. Sitting, standing, and walking all press it further into the nerve behind it, which is why the pain settles into a pattern instead of fading.
Decompression reverses that pressure directly, and it does so without surgery or medication.
You lie on a motorized table that gently and precisely stretches the spine, creating negative pressure inside the disc itself.
That negative pressure does two things. It draws bulging or herniated disc material back away from the nerve, and it pulls oxygen, water, and nutrients into a disc that has poor blood supply of its own. Pressure comes off the nerve, and the disc gets what it needs to heal.
These are what Dr. Atzmon uses decompression for:
Which of those you have changes the settings, the angle, and the number of sessions, so the exam comes first.
Because the table is only as good as the person setting it. Angle, force, and progression are chosen per patient and adjusted as you respond, and Dr. Atzmon has spent over 30 years reading those responses.
Decompression also rarely works alone. He combines it with adjustments, automated therapeutic stretching, and where the disc needs load taken off between visits, a fitted medical back brace. One plan, one office, one doctor tracking all of it.
