The vacuum effect created by Advanced Spinal Traction accomplishes two things. From a mechanical standpoint, disc material that has protruded or herniated outside the normal confines of the disc can be decompressed by the vacuum created. Also, this vacuum rehydrates, renutrifies, reoxygenates and stimulates blood supply to the injured disc, which is essential for a correct healing response. This ultimately relieves the pressure on the spinal cord and / or nerve roots and results in pain reduction and restoration of functional losses such as muscle strength loss, reflexes and skin sensation.
The majority of patients who come to the Chicago Spine Institute for help have failed traditional physical therapy, chiropractic and massage therapy and have also tried epidural injection, nerve blocks and nerve ablations. Some of these back and neck pain sufferers not only have failed one but two back surgeries.
Whether it’s from bulging or herniated discs, stenosis, arthritis, or degenerative disc disease, one of the main reasons why these therapies have been ineffective for these patients is the partial or incomplete healing of the disc material off of the spinal cord or nerve roots. The Chattanooga Triton DTS System is able to target the injured disc with its computer, table angles and patient positioning for the greatest outcomes.
