DTS Spinal Decompression

Kernersville Rehab Specialists Aquatic Physical Therapy

Decompressive Traction System (DTS), also known as DTS spinal decompression, is a leading non-surgical alternative for disc related syndromes of the lumbar and cervical spine. It gently stretches your neck, back, and hips to relieve pressure on specific areas of your spine.

DTS spinal decompression provides noticeable relief for many patients, especially those dealing with back problems or spinal muscle control issues. How? It helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal. Over 70% of patients experience pain relief. This success rate is similar to surgical results, minus the side effects and downtime.

The best news... DTS spinal decompression treatments are short in duration, most are completed in less than an hour, and administered while you're fully clothed. The therapist fits you with a harness around your pelvis and another around your trunk. You either lie face down or face up on a computer-controlled table. The therapist will operate the computer, customizing treatment to your specific needs.

Conditions Treated

DTS spinal decompression can provide relief for lower back pain, neck pain, and other conditions, including herniated, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and pinched nerves.

How It Works

DTS spinal decompression targets the spinal discs, facet joints, and other parts of the spine by using controlled traction and body positioning to gently release pressure between vertebrae. This process promotes blood flow to the affected areas, which can be particularly beneficial for patients with chronic disc or back conditions caused by injury or degeneration.
