Decompression Traction Therapy
Decompression Traction therapy is the latest new therapeutic device for 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 Accupuncture and just could not get enough relief? Come to Gumberich Family Chiropractic and try out the Decompression Traction System (Triton DTS)
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.
There is some suggestion in the literature that extruded nuclear material may be "drawn in" by the reduction of intradiscal pressures. A temporary reduction in intradiscal pressure can still have a profound effect on the healing process via increased contact with the blood supply and fibroblast migration or healing.
Loss of local muscle control, abnormal posture and alterations in spinal curves are the probable underlying source of most spinal 'compression' and degeneration. Decompression Traction Therapy (done safely within established protcols) 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.
Fees
The fee for up to a 30-minute decompression traction is $60. An examination fee is also required prior to initiation of decompression traction for patients new to Gumberich Family Chiropractic. The exam is $150. Treatment plans of a trial of 12 visits at 3 times a week for 4 weeks are recommended to see how the patient responds. If the patient has not sustained notable improvement with this trial, continued decompression traction is not further recommended. If the patient reports modest or significant improvement, continued therapy is indicated. Recommendations to include core exercise and strengthening instruction with our therapist is recommended but not required. Examination fees and physiotherapy fees are often covered by private insurance companies. Additional physiotherapy modalities are available on site to include electric muscle stimulation, moist heat, cryotherapy, ultrasound, etc.
Indications and Use
Our clinical findings suggest Decompression will create a relatively quick initial response. Patients who will do well tend to feel a sense of relief (which can be direct pain cessation or a centralization of pain and/or reduction to an ache or stiffness) within 12 sessions. Full relief, if attainable through this passive treatment, will usually occur in 12-24 sessions. (Occasionally a 'stubborn' pain syndrome may continue to improve slowly over 24+ sessions though this is not the norm).
Typical frequency is 3 times per week. The extent and seriousness of the symptoms will determine if more than three sessions per week should be utilized. Our experience suggests Decompression is also an excellent supportive or maintenance treatment for those cases where pain relief is marked but prone to exacerbations.
The Triton DTS represents the finest Decompression Traction System available today. Cervical, lumbar, and wrist Decompression Traction can be delivered utilizing the Triton DTS in a controlled and proven method.
The Spinal Decompression Table, in conjunction with additional modalities, effectively relieves the pain and disability resulting from disc injury and degeneration by repairing damaged discs and reversing dystrophic changes in nerves. Spinal Disc Decompression addresses the functional and mechanical aspects of discogenic pain and disease through non-surgical decompression of lumbar intervertebral discs. Studies verify the significant reduction of intradiscal pressures into the negative range, to approximately minus 150 mm/HG, which result in the non-surgical decompression of the disc and nerve root. Conventional traction has never demonstrated a reduction of intradiscal pressure to negative ranges; on the contrary - many traction devices actually increased intradiscal pressure, most likely due to reflex muscle spasm. The Decompression Table is designed to apply distraction tension to the patient’s lumbar spine without eliciting reflex paravertebral muscle contractions.
By significantly reducing intradiscal pressure, Spinal Disc Decompression promotes retraction of the herniation into the disc and facilitates influx of oxygen, proline and other substrates. The promotion of fibro elastic activity stimulates repair and inhibits leakage of irritant sulphates and carboxylates from the nucleus. The most recent trial sought to correlate clinical success with MRI evidence of disc repair in the annulus, nucleus, facetjoint and foramina as a result of treatment and found that reduction of disc herniation ranged between 10% and 90% depending on the number of sessions performed, while annulus patching and healing was evident in all cases.
