Is delivered utilizing :

A table.

Is a non – surgical conservative treatment is begin with a very gentle progression towards a decompression or might feel like an anti – gravity state for the spine. While the patient lying on the bed with relax and comfortable position, the DTS does the work like stretching and distracting the spinal column.
The treatment is given through a series of mechanical pulls that target a problematic segment in the spine. A separation of 5-7mm in the disc space occurs, creating a negative pressure (non-compressive state) that leads to re-hydration, oxygen, increases the blood supply and nutrients of the disc and finally healing process. This non-surgical lower back and neck treatment is by far the most advanced and painless treatment.
