Q: What is spinal decompression traction system?
A: Read More
The Spinal Decompression Traction System (DTS) is a non-surgical therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine and support natural disc healing.
During treatment, you’ll lie comfortably on a specialized decompression bed while the DTS system performs precise, rhythmic movements to unload and elongate the spine.
It works by:
✅ Applying controlled decompression forces to reduce pressure on the spinal discs
✅ Creating negative pressure within the discs, producing a gentle vacuum effect that helps draw bulging or herniated disc material back into place so it can rehydrate and heal
✅ Relieving nerve compression by increasing the space between vertebrae
✅ Using a customized max–min traction cycle based on your body weight, which alternates between pulling, holding, and relaxing to create a pumping effect that improves blood flow, oxygenation, and nutrient delivery to spinal tissues
It’s a safe, painless, and effective approach for disc herniation, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease, helping restore movement and relieve pain without surgery.
Q: Who can benefit from the Spinal Decompression Traction System (DTS)?
A: Read More
The Spinal Decompression Traction System is suitable for people experiencing back or neck pain caused by disc and spinal problems. It can help relieve pressure, reduce pain, and promote natural healing in conditions such as:
✅ Herniated or bulging discs
✅ Degenerative disc diseases – including spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, and spondylolysis
✅ Sciatica – pain, numbness, or tingling radiating from the lower back down the leg
✅ Acute or chronic back and neck pain
✅ Post-surgical recovery (only after healing and specialist clearance)– such as after minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), discectomy, or laminectomy
Q: Why do we use IFC and ice pack therapy after DTS?
After Spinal Decompression Traction (DTS), some patients may experience mild muscle soreness or temporary inflammation due to the unloading and elongation of the spine.
We use Interferential Current (IFC) therapy and ice packs alongside DTS to provide a comprehensive pain relief strategy:
- Ice Pack:
- Cools the affected area, reducing inflammation and swelling.
- Temporarily numbs pain receptors, giving immediate, short-term relief.
- Interferential Current (IFC) Therapy:
- Uses mild electrical currents to stimulate nerves and muscles.
- Helps relax tight muscles, block pain signals, and improve blood flow, providing deeper, longer-lasting relief.
Using them together — DTS to treat the source, IFC to relax muscles, and ice to reduce inflammation — helps your body recover more efficiently, allowing you to move comfortably and safely while benefiting fully from spinal decompression therapy.
