24 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday July 14, 2007 ADVERTORIAL www.oakvillebeaver.com Canadian Decompression And Pain Center N R li New Revolutionary S i l T Spinal Treatment! ! The Canadian Decompression and Pain Center is now introducing the first Neuro-Oxygen Decompression System in Canada. This is a revolutionary, nonsurgical spinal treatment for long term relief of chronic or debilitating low back, neck, arm, wrist, and leg pain. The technology has been preventing surgeries in the US and is now available for the first time here in Ontario. It was previously a hospital based therapy, but is now available privately at The Canadian Decompression and Pain Center to the general public. Traction therapy has been around for thousands of years and has always been used to treat various chronic conditions. Spinal decompression is similar, but much more advanced. It is the cutting edge technology that is being used to treat chronic back and neck conditions nowadays. Spinal decompression therapy involves a specially designed table with an advanced computer module attached to it. After a consultation with one of the doctors, each patient is given a customized treatment plan. Specific parameters are used for each given individual, taking into account the patient's weight, and history of condition. Then, this state of the art technology allows the table to pull and decompress the spine by making mechanical changes comfortably. The end result is that pain is eliminated naturally and more effectively than most treatments available today. The treatment at The Canadian Decompression and Pain Center is the most comprehensive program available on the market as it involves several facets that no other clinic provides. There are many other decompression machines on the market, but the system used here is the first of its kind in Canada. It is very effective, as success rates are as high as 90% depending on the condition. HOW DOES IT WORK? The treatment at The Canadian Decompression and Pain Center is a three-phase system. This includes: Spinal decompression; Oxygen enhancement; and a unique Neuron detoxifying system: Stage 1 g Neuro Decompression System: The distractive forces performed by the table create decompression of the spine, to improve blood flow to the injured area. Again, this is all computerized. The patient's position on the table, the harness, and the angle of the gentle distraction allows for accurate and focused treatment to the affected disc or discs. The traction device is also programmed to deliver gentle stretching of the spine which is called "imbibition". This allows a normal disc to receive nutrition. This therapy uses a distractive force that is carefully applied with biofeedback to overcome the patient's ability to reflexively guard against the force, thereby creating a total relaxation in the spine. Biofeedback allows the doctor to control and monitor spinal motion. The overall result is a very relaxing treatment. In fact, many patients read magazines or listen to music while they are receiving the decompression. Stage 2 g Oxygen enhancement: The second phase to this system is called oxygen enhancement, which offers patients the unique combination of inhaling pure grade oxygen (up to 94%) while being treated on the neuro decompression traction machine. In every patient with chronic lower back pain and/or Therefore, neuro-detoxification is an essential part of the decompression process. The three stages combined, create a unique treatment system which has never been implemented in the past. All three stages are an integral part of this system to ensure the patient's recovery is quick and successful. It is imperative that the patient follow the treatment as explained by the doctor. Patients may feel a difference immediately. The end result is elimination of pain, and an increased quality of life. FAQ's: Are there other machines that can do the same as the neuro-oxygen decompression system? No. There are imitations on the market with bells and whistles, but they are not as effective. The patient must be informed and be aware that the most complete decompression system is the neuro-oxygen decompression system. This system was developed by a team of doctors that include orthopedic surgeons, family physicians, doctors of functional medicine, doctors of orthomolecular medicine and doctors of natural medicine. This is the system that works best, and is unique to The Canadian Decompression and Pain Center. What conditions is this system used for? This system is excellent for any type of neurological condition, or disc and joint problem. Conditions include herniated, bulged or protruding discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica or pinched nerves (radiculopathy), and carpal tunnel syndrome. Neck and low back problems are the most common areas treated. You can call The Canadian Decompression and Pain Center and ask if your condition is treatable. How long does the treatment take? Treatment may last anywhere from two weeks to three months, depending on the condition. Is the treatment affordable? Yes. You can come in for a free consultation and the doctors will determine if you are a candidate. Treatments are usually covered by insurance plans. No patient is ever refused treatment due to financial restraints. Senior discounts are available. How do I determine if I'm a candidate? As mentioned, consultations are always free at the clinic. If you have had an MRI, CT scan, or radiographs of the affected area, those results are helpful. Testing can also be performed on site if you have not had any previously done. There are locations in the east and west ends of the GTA in which you can receive this treatment. An appointment can be made by calling 416-456-6881. Treatments may be fully or partially covered by health plans through work or insurance. Consultations are free. The highly trained staff will take the time to listen to concerns, answer questions and to help people understand they don't have to live with pain. New revolutionary spinal treatment sciatica, there is a decreased function of the cerebellum (part of brain that controls sensory and motor function of muscles). Since the cerebellum controls all of the spinal musculature in the body, the spine is the most oxygen dependant area in the body. This enhances the decompression treatment exponentially. Improper breathing is also a main contributor to stress induced symptoms such as tension, migraines, chronic pain and depression. The oxygen enhancement allows the body to oxygenate the spine, release toxins, and in turn, calm the nervous system. There are many other benefits to oxygen treatment which include: boosting the immune system, improving memory, enhancing the lymphatic system, and reducing toxins and acidity to help prevent headaches and other ailments. It is beneficial for the entire body. Together with decompression and the breathing of purer oxygen, the patient feels a sense of relief and relaxation, and pain diminishes. Stage 3 g Neuro-detoxification: This is the third stage of the neuro-oxygen decompression system. It is the phase of the treatment where the patient will ingest a nutritional detoxification drink before the treatment. This "liquid miracle" contains amino acids that are 80% absorbable. It also contains antioxidants to fight viruses and carcinogens. Other ingredients include chlorophyll which protects your body against toxins, and phycocyanin, which works for healthy joint function. Vitamins such as B2, B6 and 14 others are also an important nutritional factor. Minerals are contained which are used for maintaining bones, muscle, internal organs, skin, and hair. Enzymes used allow for digestion. Essential fatty acids are used to protect your heart and arteries. This is a crucial stage of the system as the patient receives proper nutrients to enhance the healing process in the area of complaint, and to help with overall health related issues the patient may have. Chronic health problems lead to chronic pain.
