Dr. Christopher R. Outten D.C. has been serving the Triangle community for over 13 years and has helped thousands of individuals with relief of their neck and back pain.  Dr. Outten's office is the only office in the area to have the SpineMED Decompression System, the 3rd and newest generation on spinal decompression technology.  SpineMED is a conservative procedure for patients suffering with bulging or herniated dics, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, sciatica, failed back surgery syndrome and non-specified mechanical low back or neck pain.  The SpineMED System is patented technology (patent # 7201729).  The SpineMED System has eliminated the use of cumbersome nylon harnesses and outdated traction components.  The patented pelvic restraint system provides a secure, comfortable and repeatable capture of the skeletal structure, eliminating the variability and inconvienience of pelvic harnesses.  Once the pelvis is captured, the technician can accurately isolate the damaged spinal segment by adjusting the patented pelvic tilting section.  Increased specificity combined with a more efficient capture results in lower force requirements than previous technologies (as little as 60%).  The SpineMED System's ability to achieve results using lower distractive forces greatly increases the scope of patient suitability, particularly with acute patients and the growing geriatric population.  With the elimination of outdated harnesses and direct capture of the pelvis with the patented restraints, SpineMED decompression protocols call for a fraction of the force required with previous devices.  For example, the average protocol for a 200lb patient on SpineMED is 60lbs of force, compared with over 110lbs on older devices.  SpineMED's lower force requirements dramatically increase patient comfort and tolerance while virtually eliminating any risk of exacerbations or other negative side effects.  Extensive computerization and hospital grade components make the SpineMED System the most sophisticated decompression device on the market.  The SpineMED System is designed to isolate and decompress lumbar or cervical discs through distraction and positioning of the spine.  Under distraction the pressure exerted on the discs can be reduced dramatically.  Reduced intradiscal pressure may help draw the gel like nucleous pulposis back into the center of the disc, thereby relieving pressure on a compressed nerve root.  Additionally, reduced pressures may increase the diffusion of fluids and nutrients across the end plates back into the disc, to enhance the body's natural healing abilities.
