Spinal Decompression Therapy

Decompression to Address Herniated Discs

The Chattanooga Triton DTS (Dynamic Traction System) is a type of spinal decompression therapy system commonly used by chiropractors to treat various spinal conditions, such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis. It is designed to provide gentle and controlled traction to the spine, relieving pressure on compressed discs and nerves while promoting healing and pain relief.

During a spinal decompression, patients typically experience a gentle, controlled stretching sensation along the spine. Patients often report feeling a sense of relaxation and relief as the decompression therapy works to realign and decompress the spinal column gently.

Features of the Chattanooga Triton DTS

Computerized Traction Control

Allows precise control over traction force, angle, and hold/release times, so treatment can be customized to each patient’s condition and goals.

Patient Comfort and Safety

Padded surfaces and support cushions provide proper positioning, while built-in sensors monitor traction force to prevent injury or discomfort.

Mechanical Traction and Decompression

Gently stretches and elongates the spine, creating negative pressure within the spinal discs to relieve pressure on pinched nerves and reduce inflammation.

Segmental Traction

Allows treatment to be targeted to the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine, providing relief for specific spinal conditions.

Passive and Active Modes

Passive mode allows patients to relax during treatment, while active mode engages core muscles to enhance effectiveness and spinal stability.

Treatment Protocols and Programs

A variety of protocols allow treatment to be customized based on patient age, condition severity, and response to treatment.

Enhanced Versatility

Advanced intermittent and cyclical traction settings allow protocols to be tailored for acute pain relief or long-term recovery.

Comprehensive Spinal Care

Can be used as a standalone therapy or combined with spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and other chiropractic techniques for comprehensive care.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy

Relief from Nerve Pressure

Reduces pressure on pinched nerves, decreasing inflammation and improving circulation to support healing.

Improved Mobility and Function

Patients often experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and less nerve irritation as treatment progresses.

Non-Invasive, Drug-Free Care

An FDA-cleared, non-invasive alternative to surgery or injections, with no downtime required.

Long-Term Healing

Supports natural disc rehydration and healing over a series of treatments, with benefits that build over time.
