Decompression Therapy
Do you suffer with low back pain, neck pain or carpal tunnel? Have you been told you need neck or back surgery?
Decompression Therapy is an effective treatment for these conditions. It is very affordable and less expensive than surgery and utilizes new therapeutic device for treatment of painful nerve compression and disc herniation syndromes.
The Decompression-Reduction-Stabilization therapy is an effective treatment for: Herniated disc, degenerative disc, facet syndrome, sciatica, post-surgical patients, and spinal stenosis.
What can this vacuum effect do?
The vacuum effect accomplishes two things. From a mechanical standpoint, disc material that has protruded or herniated outside the normal confines of the disc can be pulled back within the disc by the vacuum created within the disc. Also, the vacuum within the disc stimulates in growth of blood supply, secondarily stimulating a healing response.
What machine is used for this purpose?
There are a number of spinal decompression machines presently used in the United States. After significant research, Hopkins Clinic for Physical Medicine has chosen to use the Triton DTS Machine manufactured by Chattanooga, Inc., the premier manufacturer of physical therapy machines.
