What is DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy?
DTS spinal decompression therapy is a treatment that uses a machine to gently stretch and decompress the spine. You can use this type of therapy to help relieve pain in the lower back and the neck and shoulders. The machine works by applying a gentle force to the spine, which helps to decompress the vertebrae and discs in the spine. This can help reduce pressure on the nerves and improve blood flow and circulation in the spine.
DTS spinal decompression therapy is usually performed over a series of sessions, and most people find that they need to undergo a few sessions before they start to see any significant results. However, many people who have undergone this type of therapy report feeling relief from their pain after just a few sessions.
Conditions Treated by DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy
DTS spinal decompression therapy is most commonly used to treat:
1. Herniated Discs
A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like center of a disc bulges out through a tear in the disc’s outer layer. This can put pressure on the nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling in the affected area. DTS spinal decompression therapy can help relieve the pain associated with a herniated disc by decompressing the disc and taking the pressure off the surrounding nerves.
2. Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is a condition that occurs when the discs in the spine begin to degenerate. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the affected area. DTS spinal decompression therapy can help people with degenerative disc disease by decompressing the discs in the spine and improving blood flow and circulation to the area.
3. Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the legs, becomes compressed. This can lead to pain, numbness, and tingling in the legs. A chiropractor uses DTS spinal decompression therapy to relieve the pain associated with sciatica by decompressing the nerve and improving blood flow and circulation to the area.

Nonsurgical or surgical spinal decompression can reduce the pressure on affected areas and allow you to move with ease. {PREFIX} {FIRSTNAME} {LASTNAME} can tell you how spinal decompression may facilitate your recovery.
What to Expect from Spinal Decompression
Patients may be eligible for nonsurgical or surgical spinal decompression therapy. Non-surgical spinal decompression involves the use of motorized traction to stretch the spine. This gentle procedure reduces pressure on and may induce retraction of herniated and bulging disks. With less pressure on the area, the body may continue with the healing process.
Surgical spinal decompression is used for those with more serious cases. This alternative may be suggested for those with bony growths or ruptured disks. Types of surgical spinal decompression include Corpectomy, Laminotomy and Diskectomy. {PREFIX} {LASTNAME} will clearly explain your surgical options and help you determine which one may work best for you.
The Benefits of Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression can complement a range of other therapies, such as massage therapy or acupuncture. This non-invasive therapy is often included as part of an effective treatment plan offering benefits like:
- Improved oxygen, blood flow and movement of nutrients to an affected area, promoting healing.
- Reduced pressure on injured disks often causing a retraction of bulging or herniated disks.
- Decreased pressure on surrounding nerves and structures.
- Being able to perform daily activities and exercises more easily.
- Reduced pain in the back or neck.
Individuals may require a series of in-office treatments. Each session may last up to 45 minutes. Patients often experience less discomfort, inflammation and muscle tension soon after a session.
Surgical spinal decompression may be suggested depending on specific conditions and response to other therapies. There are inherent risks to any surgery which {PREFIX} {LASTNAME} will explain. A patient may not feel immediate relief after surgery and may have to wait until the healing process is complete to notice a significant difference.
