| | Decompression |
 | | Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical procedure that effectively treats disabling low back, neck, and radiating leg, and arm pain. | | | Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and renders quick, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle. | | | Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions typically 3 times per week. |

| | All patients underwent MR examination of the spinal cord (0.5-T, surface coil) and were treated with therapeutic hyperbaric recompressions and auxiliary therapy. | | | Further MRI has proved to be useful to make decision on how to structure a prompt hyperbaric treatment and for the follow-up during therapeutic hyperbaric recompressions. | | | Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provided in specially designed pressure chambers is currently the treatment of choice for decompression sickness. |

| | Lumbar decompression back surgery |
| | Decompression is a surgical procedure that is performed to alleviate pain caused by pinched nerves (neural impingement). | | | Sometimes in addition to the decompression procedure a spine fusion surgery is also necessary in order to achieve adequate decompression of a nerve root. | | | In this type of back surgery, a small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disc material from under the nerve root is removed to give the nerve root more space and provide a better healing environment. |

| | Decompression sickness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The physiologist John Haldane studied this problem in the early 20th century, eventually devising the method of staged, gradual decompression, whereby the pressure on the diver is released slowly enough that the nitrogen comes gradually out of solution without leading to DCS. | | | Even when the change in pressure causes no immediate symptoms, rapid pressure change can cause permanent bone injury called dysbaric osteonecrosis (DON) "bone cell death from bad pressure". | | | Decompression sickness can happen in any of the following situations: |

| | With the biotechnological advances of spinal decompression, symptoms were restored by subjective report in 86% of patients previously thought to be surgical candidates and mechanical function was restored in 92% using objective data. | | | With the recent advances in biotechnology, spinal decompression has evolved into a cost-effective nonsurgical treatment for herniated and degenerative spinal disc disease, one of the major causes of back pain. | | | In conclusion, nonsurgical spinal decompression provides a method for physicians to properly apply and direct the decompressive force necessary to effectively treat discogenic disease. |

| | Deep Decompression Stops |

| | The authors attribute this, in part, to the balanced approach to decompression (ie, both medial and lateral walls are decompressed, allowing a balanced release of orbital tissues) and to preservation of the medial strut between the ethmoid cavity and the inferior orbital decompression. | | | Historically, the indications for surgical decompression of the orbit have been to relieve exophthalmos accompanied by corneal exposure and disfigurement and to reduce the increased orbital pressure produced by swelling of extraocular muscles, which can lead to compressive optic neuropathy and visual loss. | | | Therefore, in the present series, among patients undergoing decompression for cosmesis via an endoscopic approach, the incidence of new-onset postoperative diplopia was zero. |

| | On the way up, decompression occurs (in other words, the water pressure drops), and with the change in pressure the extra nitrogen gradually diffuses out of the tissues and is delivered by the bloodstream to the lungs, which expel it from the body. | | | Some substitute the term decompression illness (DCI) for DCS. | | | Decompression sickness (DCS) is a dangerous and occasionally lethal condition caused by nitrogen bubbles that form in the blood and other tissues of scuba divers who surface too quickly. |
