Experience Lasting Relief from Herniated Discs and Sciatica With Gentle Spinal Decompression…
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine, particularly in the discs and nerves. This treatment is commonly used to address conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and other forms of chronic back pain.
The therapy works by gently stretching the spine using a specialized traction table or similar device. This stretching creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, which can help retract bulging or herniated discs, taking pressure off the surrounding nerves and promoting the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs. This process can facilitate the healing of damaged discs, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain.
Spinal decompression is typically performed over a series of sessions, and each session usually lasts between 20 to 45 minutes. It is considered a safe and effective treatment option for individuals seeking relief from back pain without the need for surgery.
The Triton DTS (Decompression Traction System) is a state-of-the-art spinal decompression therapy device. It utilizes precise, computer-controlled technology to gently stretch and decompress your spine. This process helps to alleviate pressure on your spinal discs and nerves, promoting healing and reducing pain.
Therapy sessions typically last less than 20-40 minutes.
A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization ligaments, tendons and muscles is a vital part of Spinal Decompression. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in rehabilitation of these structures.
