THE PETTIBON SPINAL REJUVENATION TABLE

Medical care, physical therapy, and traditional chiropractic have always struggled in an attempt to rehabilitate a compressed/injured disc in the human spine.  To further complicate matters, the true cause of the problem is often overlooked-- a faulty posture.  Although medical imaging studies like MRI can confirm the extent of the problem, they merely show the result of faulty posture patterns.  Standard treatment including medication and surgery only address this effect, not the cause.


Recently neurologists, orthopedists and some chiropractors began to look at decompressing the injured discs with fair results.   Unfortunately, without a rehabilitation protocol that corrected the underlying cause of the problem (faulty posture), patients were doomed to eventually suffer from the same symptoms they started with. 


Medical studies show that patients with low back pain also have neuro-musculoskeletal problems in the cervical and thoracic spine, as well as in the extremities. The Pettibon Institute has determined that to permanently correct the lumbar spine (low back), at least a 60% correction of the lordotic curve in the cervical spine (neck) must be present.   Simply put, if you want to fix a low back problem you have to fix your neck or it won't hold.  


Our Pettibon Spinal Rejuvenation Table (P-SRT) is the result of many years of intensive research and development into disc problems of the human spine.  The P-SRT combined with the Pettibon Spine and Disc Corrective Protocol has been proven to achieve predictable spinal disc correction. We apply a dynamic combination of gentle decompression plus specific rehabilitation exercises to allow us to restore optimal structure and function to the human spine.  


A unique feature of the P-SRT is that it’s the only decompression table that utilizes Whole Body Vibration (WBV).  Extensive research conducted over the last decade proves the efficacy of WBV for quick and effective reduction of muscle spasm, healing of injured tissues, as well as increased strength of postural muscles by up to 25%.  WBV has therapeutic benefits that will accelerate the healing of injured disc tissue as well as enhance spinal correction.   This is the only table available today using Whole Body Vibration and it is patent pending.   Our office has been extensively trained by the Pettibon Institute and we are experts in spinal disc rehabilitation.
