How Spinal Rejuvenation Works

The spine is made up of many discs which sandwich a cushioning gel. This gel is under constant pressure and can cause the discs to press on nerve roots causing pain and bulging discs. Spinal Rejuvenation helps alleviate that pain by producing a kind of vacuum effect that draws in fuilds and nutrients essential to spinal disc healing.

We can gauge the amount of pressure put on the discs when doing everyday things like lying down, sitting, standing, and lifting. This type of pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Here are some of the measurements of disc pressure:

• lifting (using the knees)- 300 mmmHg
• lifting (incorrectly using the back) - 800 mmmHg
• lying down- 75 mmmHg
• standing- 100mmmHg

You can get your disc pressure lowered as far as 40mmmHg with physical therapy, manipulation of the spine and traction, however only through Spinal Rejuvenation can the pressure become as low as -160mmmHg. That is a negative that greatly helps with repairing the spine. Spinal Rejuvenation lengthens and exerts the spine, which relaxes the spine over an extended period of time and allows the spine to be repositioned without tension.
