Herniated Disks

about
our machines Our machines use state-of-the-art technology to gradually relieve neurocompression often associated with lower back pain. The process has been proven to relieve pain by enlarging disc space, reducing herniation, strengthening outer ligaments to help move herniated areas back into place, and reversing high intradiscal pressures through application of negative pressure. Your treatment begins with a series of daily sessions for two weeks, followed by treatments three times a week as needed. Each session consists of twenty to thirty minute on the machine. Following each therapy session, a cold pack with electrical stimulation is applied to help paravertebral muscles consolidate after treatment. An upper chest harness/shoulder support is used to help distribute the applied forces evenly. Once in place, you are slowly reclined to a horizontal position. The therapist localizes the pain, makes any adjustments, and directs treatment to the proper area. The machines help mobilize the troubled disc segment without inducing further damage to the spine. The DTS computer is the key to making spinal decompression therapy different from regular traction. It controls the variations in the traction allowing for spinal decompression and eliminating muscle guarding and subsequent compression 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.
