Spinal Decompression Traction Therapy
Do you suffer with low back pain, neck pain or carpal tunnel?
Have you been told you need neck or back surgery?Decompression Traction Therapy is an effective treatment for these conditions. It is very affordable and less expensive than surgery.
Decompression Traction Therapy is the hottest 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
- Spinal Stenosis
Do you have a herniated disc, multiple herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, or any other type of spinal problem? Is your doctor suggesting surgery, Pain Management, or Physical Therapy? Have you tried Chiropractic and just could not get enough relief? Come to De Canha Physical Therapy and try out the Decompression Traction System.
Research indicates the disc is responsible for a significant number of lumbar/leg pain and neck/arm pain syndromes. Compression increases intradiscal pressure leading to annular compromise and possible extrusion of nuclear material.
Since the disc is an avascular structure, it doesn’t receive fresh blood and oxygen with every beat of the heart. It requires “diffusion” created by motion and ‘Decompression’ to restore nutrients and enhance healing.
Decompression is defined as reduction in pressure (intradiscal). Recumbent positions (both prone and supine) decrease intradiscal pressures in comparison to standing and sitting. However focused, axial mechanical+Y translation traction, (creating ‘Decompression’ i.e. unloading due to distraction and positioning) has been shown to reduce disc pressure and enhance the healing response even further.
Loss of local muscle control, abnormal posture and alterations in spinal curves are the probable underlying source of most spinal ‘compression’ and degeneration. Therefore a “passive” therapy has little effect in truly fixing the underlying problem.
However, that being said, Decompression Traction Therapy (done safely within established protocols and a clear understanding of it’s limitations) can often effectively enhance the healing process and render quick, effective and often amazing pain relief in a properly selected patient population (many who have previously failed other treatments).
Additionally it may also be very useful in determining the overall prognosis of passive care and expediting the phase-in of rehab protocols.
