2. Spinal decompression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_decompression

   Spinal decompression is the procedure which reduces pressure on the spinal cord. Spinal decompression is the relief of pressure on the spinal cord or on one or more compressed nerve roots passing through or exiting the spinal column. [1] Decompression of the spinal neural elements is a key component in treating spinal radiculopathy, myelopathy ...

3. Spinal adjustment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_adjustment

   Spinal adjustment and chiropractic adjustment are terms used by chiropractors to describe their approaches to spinal manipulation, as well as some osteopaths, who use the term adjustment. Despite anecdotal success, there is no scientific evidence that spinal adjustment is effective against disease.

4. Decompression (surgery) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_(surgery)

   In medicine, decompression refers to the removal or repositioning of any structure compressing any other structure. [citation needed]Common examples include decompressive craniectomy (removal of part of the skull to relieve pressure on the brain), a spinal decompression to relieve pressure on nerve roots, and a nerve decompression for peripheral nerve entrapments.

   BSAC nitrox decompression tables The PADI Nitrox tables are laid out in what has become a common format for no-stop recreational tables. Dive tables or decompression tables are tabulated data, often in the form of printed cards or booklets, that allow divers to determine a decompression schedule for a given dive profile and breathing gas.

6. Decompression practice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_practice

   Basic decompression theory and use of decompression tables is part of the theory component of training for commercial divers, [132] and dive planning based on decompression tables, and the practice and field management of decompression is a significant part of the work of the diving supervisor. [22] [11]

7. History of decompression research and development - Wikipedia

   These tables were based on the 1956 US Navy tables and the no-decompression limits recommended by Bruce Bassett. [40] Changes were also made to the table rules and decompression requirements: [40] Ascent rate of 10 m per minute. A safety stop of 3 to 5 minutes at 3 to 5 metres is recommended where possible for all dives deeper than 9 m.

8. Hyperbaric medicine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_medicine

   Hyperbaric medicine includes hyperbaric oxygen treatment, which is the medical use of oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure to increase the availability of oxygen in the body; [8] and therapeutic recompression, which involves increasing the ambient pressure on a person, usually a diver, to treat decompression sickness or an air embolism by reducing the volume and more rapidly eliminating ...

9. Hyperbaric treatment schedules - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_treatment_schedules

   Table 1A is included in the US Navy Diving Manual Revision 6 and is authorized for use as a last resort when oxygen is not available. This table has been revised by decreasing the ascent rate from 1 minute between stops to 1 fsw per minute since the original was published in 1958. [6] Use: For treatment of pain only decompression sickness. [16]
