The Science Behind Decompression Traction

Decompression Traction works by:

  • Creating negative pressure within the spinal discs
  • Promoting retraction of herniated or bulging disc material
  • Increasing space between vertebrae
  • Enhancing nutrient and oxygen flow to the disc area
  • Reducing pressure on spinal nerves

Key Features of Decompression Traction

  • Non-invasive
    Provides an alternative to surgical interventions
  • Targeted treatment
    Focuses on specific spinal segments
  • Customizable
    Parameters can be adjusted for each patient's needs
  • Monitored
    Computer-controlled systems ensure precise application
  • Safe
    Minimal side effects when properly administered

How Does Decompression Traction Work?

The Decompression Traction process at Advanced Medical Clinics typically involves:

  • Patient assessment and positioning on the traction table
  • Application of harnesses or straps to isolate the treatment area
  • Computer-controlled, intermittent traction force application
  • Sessions lasting 20-45 minutes, depending on the condition
  • A series of treatments over several weeks for optimal results

Decompression Traction produces several therapeutic effects:

  • Stretches the spine, creating space between vertebrae
  • Reduces pressure on discs and nerves
  • Allows nutrients to flow back into the disc, promoting healing
  • Reduces pain and inflammation
  • Improves spinal mobility and flexibility

A typical treatment plan may involve 15-20 sessions over 4-6 weeks

Some insurance plans may cover Decompression Traction, but coverage varies

Alternatives to Decompression Traction

  • Physical therapy and exercise programs
  • Manual therapy techniques
  • Medications for pain management
  • Epidural steroid injections
  • Surgery (in severe cases)

Decompression Traction is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and may help patients avoid more invasive procedures.
