SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY

This breakthrough technology brings new hope to those suffering from disabling spinal conditions such as disc herniations, disc degeneration, sciatica, and facet syndrome. 

Spinal Decompression Therapy is performed on a specially designed table in either the face up for face down position. You will remain fully dressed during the treatment.  You will be comfortably positioned on the table and fitted with a wrap around belt.  This restraint is what allows the unloading of the spine and discs by the traction motor.

Once comfortable on the DTS, the computer controlled traction device is programmed to deliver a gentle stretching force to the spinal vertebra.  The DTS system applies the gentle force, then releases it approximately every minute throughout the session.  Total treatment time is less than 18 minutes.  Most patients report simply feeling a subtle and gentle stretching at their lower back and hip. 

The gentle stretching and relaxing of the spine fosters a phenomenon called "imbibition".  This is the way the disc gets nutrition.  This pumping action promotes nutrition intake into the discs, something often lost in damaged and degenerative disc conditions.  In healthy discs, imbibition occurs naturally with daily motions and body positions.  A disc with poor imbibition, fewer nutrients and hydration is more likely to become injured and painful. Stretching or tractioning the spine in a controlled and comfortable  manner can help re-establish a more normal imbibition.  This can resupply the disc with nutrients and blood contact that help the disc heal from the inside out. The dramatic decrease of pressure in the disc (decompression) can foster the drawing in of a bulge and help take pressure off a "pinched"spinal nerve.

We are now offering a consultation, evaluation, and treatment for only $1.00.  There is no obligation to start treatment after this initial visit.
