Abstract

The method of decompression of the human spine by the gravitational force from the upright posture, characterized by fixation of the human upper body in a natural upright position and liberation and lowering of all located under the fixed points body parts by the action of gravity from the sitting posture by using a chair.

Description

Spinal cord decompression is one of the best methods to treat herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, and similar disorders, to relieve back pain, neck pain, joint pain, sciatica pain, and pain in other parts of the body that originate from the nervous system and musculoskeletal system alleviate, relieve.

Traditional non-surgical spinal cord decompression treatments are usually considered uncomfortable, you have to accept very uncomfortable positions, such as on the inversion table, or you are exposed to mechanical traction.

It has been medically proven that the muscles surrounding the spine prevent decompression of the discs when external mechanical forces are applied. This is because the paraspinal muscles are conditioned to counteract abrupt and linear voltage changes; however, they relax when the force is applied in a gentle and gradually increasing manner.

After extensive research I have found that all known treatments are each suitable for a specific user spectrum. However, I have not been able to discover a method that caters to all types of individuals, including people with obesity or obesity, while being suitable for people with special conditions such as heart disease, blood pressure problems, pregnancy, or people of advanced age, and in all cases effectively the existing ones Back problems corrected. In addition, I have found no method that can be applied in a natural upright posture without the use of machinery, without being burdened with extra weights, without a helper, without creating unnecessary further problems, and can often be used - both at home and in the office - and is also cheap. Yes, even the opposite happens: the high treatment costs of the various spinal therapies have reduced the amount of treatment required, used unsuitable methods, and nothing is done and the pain is sustained just to save costs.

Likewise, I have found that the uncertainty and uncertainty of the effect of most back pain treatments is a major reason for health insurance companies not to pay some of these treatments. And this although most back pain patients would prefer a decompression therapy, as this could significantly reduce the level of pain and thus the quality of life could be greatly increased.

It has already been proven that many low-back pain patients undergoing invasive surgery to treat their condition do so firstly unnecessarily, and secondly, in most cases, the success of permanent analgesia is absent.

The prediction impressively shows the importance and the high demand for a non-invasive treatment method from the natural upright posture, safe for everyone. This is the reason for the development of the upright spine decompression method DeCOMPRESSit using gravity.

The natural upright posture represents the most desirable position of any back pain patient in whom the pain should subside. The decompression method presented here is therefore an innovation of all previously known decompression methods, regardless of whether performed manually or supported by technology, since only it allows the intervertebral discs to regenerate both in a stationary and in a sitting posture.

By using gravity as a natural non-linear force to decompress the spine, the body is given the opportunity to influence itself, and relax vertebrae by vertebra. This is because the paraspinal muscles relax because the force is applied in a gentle and gradually increasing manner. As gravity does not have a linear effect, the upright, self-sustained DeCOMPRESSit spine decompression method is the safest way to relax the spine and its supporting muscles.

My own need for a method of treating my spinal injury, drawn up 20 years ago as an active athlete, was my greatest motivation for finding a method that would allow me to lead a healthy and physically active life without invasive surgery. No other alternative therapy, with its limitations and limitations, has allowed me, as a personal and fitness trainer, to exercise my job at full strength and actively shape my life, such as the DeCOMPRESSit method.

The long-term effect of the upright spine decompression method DeCOMPRESSit Using gravity is a permanent natural alignment and relaxation of the spine. This not only minimizes back pain and stiffness, but also increases mobility, increases the communication of all body systems, boosts the immune system, increases energy, and significantly increases the range of motion. The reason for this is the now only possible again constant supply of the intervertebral disc with the necessary nutrient liquid for maintaining their stability and elasticity. Along with this, all other metabolic systems are stimulated, such as hormone production and the degradation of toxins. This method also supports the strengthening and toning of the muscles around the spine, which in turn help to provide more stability and prevent new ailments. Nerve functions are improved again and a significant improvement of the metabolism is achieved.

The short-term effect of the DePRPRESSit upright spinal decompression method using gravity is to provide immediate, significant relief of back pain without causing new or other problems and without damaging any of the body systems, which is not accomplished by any other treatment method.

The method DeCOMPRESSit involves the decompression of the spine only from the upright posture, to achieve the reduction of pressure on the spine, the nonlinear increasing gravitational force is used. This makes targeted decompression of selected spinal areas possible.

In order to achieve the decompression, certain parts of the human upper body are fixed in each of the two types of upright posture, sitting and standing. Only in the fixed position, it is possible that all parts of the body below the fixed points by the gravitational force gently and naturally pulled down. There is no restriction in the duration of the force.

To make this decompression method possible, a chair must have the following features: it has a backrest with fixation devices, a seat consisting of a fixed part and an adjustable movable flap, some adjustable movable holders and handles, some adjustable movable joints, some adjustable movable extensions and an adjustable movable leg rest system. All adjustable moving parts must be adaptable in a way that maximizes support for each individual physique and allows the user to sit in a relaxing position. Further features and advantages of the seat for vertebral column decompression are described below and illustrated in drawings.

Detailed description of the invention

The key message of the present invention is in the theory of the decompression method of the spine alone out of the upright posture out.

The method of decompression of the spine is to reduce the pressure generated by the body weight in a standing or sitting position and to achieve maximum pain relief by passing the distance between the vertebrae from the cervical vertebra C1 "atlas" down to the sacrum increases the same amount of force as it is reduced by the pressure of the body weight in a standing or sitting position. In accordance with this invention, the upper body must be fixed at certain attachment points to decompress gravity in a gentle, gradual manner, rather than in a linear fashion, so that the paraspinal muscles do not resist tension changes. For the brain to give the signal for complete relaxation to the paraspinal muscles, the body must be in a secured, relaxed position.

In this position, all unattached parts under the point of fixation gravitate downward by gravity in a very natural relaxing manner. The unlimited use of this method allows the spine to naturally decompress for a longer period of time than any other method can. The longer the temporal application, the more relax the muscles and thus the spine naturally reaches the maximum decompression of the upright posture by gravity. This is the theory behind the two ways of upright decompression, either through the seat or the state decompression system according to the present invention.

Decompression in the sitting natural upright

Posture:

The upper body must be fixed at certain points in the decompression seat according to the present invention.

Two folded neckrests 211 and 211b that are inside the backrest 1 embedded in the seat and independently adjustable in width, length and height to be adaptable to all body shapes, open outwardly to support and fix the neck position and to hold the head and around the cervical part of the spine to decompress. To the two A strap is used to fix ends of said neck supports under the chin. The position of the neck supports 211 and 211b Can be independently using the receiving cavity 106a and 106b be set.

Two retractable underarm supports 212a and 212b that are inside the backrest 1 embedded in the chair and independently adjustable in width and length to be adaptable to all body shapes, open down to support and secure the torso and to support body weight. The position of the armpit supports 212a and 212b Can be independently using the receiving cavity 105a and 105b be set.

To hold the arms down and thereby contribute to the maximum effect of spinal decompression, the armrest flaps become 213a and 213b that with the height and width independently adjustable underarm support 2a and 2 B through hinges 21a and 21b connected, needed. Through the use of armrest flaps 213a and 213b The elbows and forearms are prevented from moving outward from the body. This completes the fixation of the upper body.

Since this method of decompression has also been invented to meet individual body needs, the adaptability of the decompression seat is determined by the excerpt elements 411 . 412 . 413 . 414 . 415 . 416a and 416b . 417 . 418a and 418b guaranteed. All pull-out elements can be adjusted manually or mechanically.

The extract element 411 Works horizontally to the back of the seat 1 to move forward and backward. The extract element 412 works vertically to the entire back of the seat 1 to move up and down.

The extract element 413 works horizontally to the distance between the joint 512 and the joint 513 to increase and decrease.

The extract element 414 works vertically to the base of the seat 3b to move up and down.

The extract element 415 extends the horizontal seat part 3a in relation to the base seat part 3b ,

The extract elements 416a and 416b independently operate vertically to move the armrests up and down.

The extract element 417 works vertically to the base of the footrest 6 to move up and down.

The extract elements 418a and 418b work independently to the width of the forearm support 2a and 2 B adjust.

All joints of the seat 511 . 512 . 513 . 514 . 515 . 516 and 5001 They are individually adjustable, flexible and flexible, and all are individually fixed in a lockable position to meet all body shapes and body needs. All adjustments can be made both manually and mechanically.

The joint 511 alone is responsible for the backrest 1 move the seat from the vertical and is behind the extension part 411 on the back of the backrest 1 of the seat.

The joint 512 connects the two arms that make up the part 1 and the part 3 hold, and is responsible, the angle between the backrest 1 the seat and the seat 3 of the seat to open and close.

The joint 513 will be right under the seat 3 placed and is responsible for the base of the seat 3 from the horizontal to adjust and the backrest 1 of the seat to move vertically up and down.

The tilting joint 5001 is under the joint 513 and is solely responsible for the unit of seat 3 and backrest 1 to tilt.

The joint 514 is located between the seat part 3b and the gravity flap 3c and only serves the gravity flap 3c open to finalize the final positioning of the upper body and allow maximum release of the spine.

joint 515 is under seat part 3a placed is connected with lower leg support 7 and responsible to support the lower leg around the calves to achieve maximum relaxation of the body.

The joint 516 is between the footrest 6 and the lower leg support 7 arranged and responsible for adjusting the foot position to achieve maximum relaxation of the body.

Seat 3 is in the three parts 3a . 3b and gravity flap 3c divided. part 3b is considered the steady support with the chair leg system 8th connected. part 3a is the front lip of the seat and can horizontally through the adjustable extension element 415 adjusted to be adaptable according to the length of the femur. It must be taken into account that with all adjustments to be made to the chair, the base of the seat 3 never the backrest 1 of the seat disturbs.

footrest 6 is one in the joint 516 free-moving flap, located under the lower leg support 7 is located to support the feet.

The lower leg support 7 is between the seat 3 and the footrest 6 through the joint 515 and the joint 516 movably arranged and can by the extension 417 adjusted to be adaptable according to the length of the lower leg. The main function is to support the legs below the knee joints.

The backrest 1 of the seat includes the parts: the adjustable headrest 101 , the adjustable lumbar cushions 102 , the temperature strip 103 , the neck support 104 , a pair of concealed adjustable underarm braces 212a and 212b , two openings 105a and 105b to the distance between the armpit supports 212a and 212b a pair of concealed adjustable neckrests 211 and 211b , two openings 106a and 106b to independently adjust the distance between the neck supports 211 and 211b adjust.

The paired forearm support 2a and 2 B can through the extension parts 416a and 416b be adjusted up and down and through the extract elements 418a and 418b be adjusted in width.

The chair leg system 8th is located between seat 3 and the floor to keep the decompression seat at a comfortable and adjustable height - on wheels or without wheels. The parts 900a and 900b are small joints around the forearm support 2a and 2 B to adjust and are attached to the lower end of the armrests.

901 is a mounting and contact box between the backrest 1 and the rest of the seat. Here is the linkage of the extension 411 that with the joint 511 connected, attached.

902 is a mounting and contact box between the seat 3 and the chair leg system 8th of the seat. Here is the linkage of the extension 414 that with the joint 513 connected, attached.

Operation of the seated posture method:
The longer the application time, the more the muscles are relaxed and thus a natural type of muscle relaxation is achieved. This knowledge, in accordance with the present invention, has paved the way for upright sitting decompression.

The seat is very easy to use. The user takes place like in any other normal chair. The two neck support flaps are positioned below the user's ears on the lower edge of the skull and rest the head on the headrest. The neck is supported by the neck support. The back is ajar and rests, fully supported by the adjustable backrest, in the seat.

The lower back is supported by the lumbar support. The armpits are placed on the two armpit supports. The two forearm supports are unfolded to keep the arms from moving away from the body, thereby contracting upper body muscles. The forearms are now placed on the armrests. All this, however, only after the adjustment in height, width and inclination of all other moving parts of the seat, all of which serve to ensure optimal adaptation to the respective body shape. So the legs and the feet are in a very comfortable position and height can be placed. After releasing the gravity flap using the appropriate joints according to the current desired degree of decompression, the brain signals the muscles around the spine to relax and relieve tension because the body is in a very safe position. Now the actual decompression of the spine begins naturally. The unlimited use over time has the advantage that the spine is better and more decompressed, according to the theory of the decompression method in the present invention. Thus, the spine is decompressed from the upright sitting position only by gravity.

Getting up from the DeCOMPRESSit seat does not require any special, difficult, or long preparation, it's just as easy as getting up from a regular chair.

This is what distinguishes the DeCOMPRESSit seat as the only natural and safe way for spinal decompression, adaptable to all body types, age groups and special physical conditions. It is also suitable for strongly overweight people to allow the spine decompression in an upright position.

Decompression achieves short-term and long-term results.
