DTS Therapy is an Alternative to Surgery
You
don't have to live in debilitating pain. Whether you have lower back
pain, a pinched nerve, sciatica, neck pain, or a variety of symptoms
related to damaged or degenerative discs, as well as syndromes of the
lumbar and cervical spine, DTS Therapy may be for you.
This
gentle, non-surgical therapy can provide lower back pain relief,
sciatica pain relief, and is a state-of-the-art therapy for neck pain
relief, bulging or degenerative disc disease, and lumbar pain.
The
gentle distractive forces of the DTS therapy create a decompression of
the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to
improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll
experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduates to a
peak over a period of several minutes.
Therapy sessions
typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month,
transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with
most patients feeling pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most
patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.
A complete
program targeting the function of the stabilization muscles is a vital
part of DTS Therapy. Exercise and adjunctive therapies such as heat,
muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold therapy can assist in
rehabilitation of these structures. Our goal is to not only help heal
the disc, but to also enhance muscular control and support of the back
and neck.
Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our office
will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability
of reoccurrence. Clinical results of this type of therapy have been
effective in over 75% of the patients treated and most patients find
long-term relief or effective management of their pain when they
complete the entire program of treatments utilizing the DTS Spinal
Decompression Therapy.
