Spinal Decompression Therapy

A growing population of individuals experiences lower back issues in the United States and globally. Approximately 85% of the adult population in the United States is projected to have back discomfort at some point in their lives. Over 6.5 million individuals daily are confined to bed due to back discomfort. Due to a significant proportion of the population experiencing back pain, around $45 billion is spent annually for its treatment.

Floating Manipulative Therapy

Floating Manipulative Therapy involves lifting and suspending the upper body to reduce pressure on the patient’s lower body. This significantly decreases internal intervertebral disc pressure.

As with William H. Kirkaldy-Willis, M.D.’s “Pressure Elimination Approach,” the Protec therapy is a Floating Lumbar Suspension Therapeutic Exercise Treatment that uses the patient’s own weight as an anchor to create natural traction. A wide range of lumbar, leg, and other joint rehabilitation and therapy options are available in this position.
