What is Decompression Therapy?
The material on this page is the copyrighted property of DTS Marketing, Austin, Texas, used by permission.
Decompression therapy is a non-surgical method of relieving pain and disability by repairing damaged spinal discs and reversing nerve degradation. Following examination by the chiropractor, a computer-controlled device gently distracts (pulls very slightly apart) your spinal discs. This decompression of the discs lets oxygen and blood flow into affected areas to speed up healing and relieve pain. |

Are there medical studies that document the effectiveness of Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Yes!
One Study documented by MRI up to 90% reduction of disc herniations in 10 of 14 cases and other studies reported that the majority of ruptured disc patients achieved "good" to "excellent" results after spinal decompression therapy. |

Several clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of spinal decompression. Click here to review the studies.
Spinal decompression has proven to be effective in the treatment of herniated, protruding, or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica (pain down the leg), facet syndrome, and failed surgery. Spinal decompression is extremely safe, FDA cleared, nonsurgical, and cost affordable.
In addition to the clinical studies, I have included a brief synopsis of over 50 research article abstracts on cervical and lumbar traction, distraction and decompression. Click here to review the additional articles.
Are the treatment results permanent?
This therapy has reported success rates of 86% in treating herniated and degenerative discs with a 4% reoccurrence rate after one year. Typically additional treatments are not required after the completion of the treatment protocol. However, as with any treatment there are always severe cases that involve particular job/lifestyle activities that may require re-evaluations and additional sessions.
