Spinal decompression - One of the best therapies to reduce damage to lumbar discs. Often this can prevent the need for surgery.
Spinal nerves exit the spine through small openings between the vertebrae (spinal bones). If the openings are wide the nerves function better, but if they get closed off, the nerves get “pinched” and problems will result. Causes of “pinched nerves” are bulged or herniated disks, disc degeneration, and spinal arthritis. If the problem is in the low back, it may cause pain to radiate down the leg. If it is in the neck, pain may radiate down the arm. Often times, people resort to injections and surgery to relieve their pain. In our office we use the DTS system to take pressure off these nerves.
The DTS traction system gently separates the vertebra making room for the “pinched nerves”. Each session adds to the last with most people experiencing a 50 – 100% reduction in symptoms. Traction can be applied to both the neck and the low back.
