Spinal decompression is now available in St. Bonifacius.

If you have been suffering from low back pain, neck pain, or other spinal injuries, and have been told that a lifetime of taking drugs or a risky surgery are you only options, we have new hope for you.

The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction System (“DTS”) is essentially a method of stretching your body to relieve the pressure that builds up in the spine. DTS uses gentle intermittent distractive forces in order to increase spinal mobility and allow decompression by relaxing tense muscles and increasing intervertebral disc spacing and foraminal encroachment. This leads to less irritation of the nerve roots and improvement of circulation in the injured areas.

The DTS may also be used to relieve peripheral symptoms such as numbness, tingling, muscle weakness as well as assist in such conditions as:

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Spinal root impingement

  • Hypomobility

  • Degenerative joint disease

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Facet syndrome

  • Joint pain

  • Discogenic pain

How does it work?
The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction System’s pull-relax patterns create a suctioning effect on the disc, much like pulling a balloon from both ends, and the middle portion narrows as a result. The goal of DTS therapy is to reduce the pressure on the nerve, most commonly from a herniated or protruding disc. DTS therapy also decreases muscle spasms and muscle guarding, and breaks up adhesions, in order to facilitate increased range of motion and decrease pain. In addition, spinal decompression helps improve blood flow and nutrient exchange at the disc, which results in pain relief, improved healing, and slower degeneration. The Triton Decompression Traction System is for cervical and lumbar traction.

Will The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction DTS Therapy treatments hurt?
The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction System treatments are one of the most gentle and comfortable therapies available. The treatments utilize equipment with proven safety and efficacy. Most patients report a mild sense of stretch on their neck, back or hips, and often fall asleep during treatment sessions.

How much will it cost?
This truly depends on how many times you will need to use it. We charge $25 per use or a package of 10 uses can be purchased for $200. It’s common to feel relief from the first few visits but more often use allows the body to heal stronger and more fully.
