Spinal Decompression

Who can benefit from Spinal Decompression?

Anyone who has back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a degenerative disc, disc herniation, protruding or bulging disc, spinal stenosis, sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves,numbness,tingling).

Frequency:

The specific treatment plan will be determined by the doctor after your examination. Based on current research and clinical experience, the best results have been achieved utilizing 20 sessions over a 6 week period.

DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy is FDA cleared and has been clinically proven with an outstanding success rate for pain associated with herniated or bulging discs even after failed surgery. It is a non-surgical, traction therapy for the relief of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain. During this procedure, by cycling through distraction and relaxation phases and by proper positioning, a spinal disc can be isolated and placed under negative pressure, causing a vacuum effect within it.

How does this negative pressure affect an injured disc?

During spinal decompression therapy, a negative pressure is created within the disc. Because of that negative pressure, disc material that has protruded or herniated can be pulled back within the normal confines of the disc, and permit healing to occur.

How is Spinal Decompression Therapy different from regular traction?

The award winning Triton DTS computer is the key. It controls the variations in the traction pull allowing for spinal decompression and eliminating muscle guarding that is typical in conventional traction devices. The preprogrammed patterns for ramping up and down the amount of axial distraction allows for higher levels of spinal decompression and disc rehydration.
