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.
Although traction therapy has been around for thousands of years, Decompressive Traction is relatively new. Advances in equipment and procedures have dramatically improved effectiveness. The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction System is the most comprehensive program available, allowing the safe delivery of this previously hospital-based therapy in our office. Continual improvements in the delivery system and regular updates in protocol keep the The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction System is the forefront of non-invasive disc therapy. Each year over 50,000 patients are treated with DTS Therapy and that number is growing.
The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction System is a comprehensive program of the newest traction techniques and targeted “core” stabilization exercises. In addition, we use chiropractic adjunctive treatments that have proven effectiveness in back care. It is this multi-faceted approach that makes the overall treatment so effective. Additionally, discs have been shown to be a predominate site of pain, so treating it as directly as possible makes sense. The blending of focused traction to the site, rehabilitation to the supporting structures, and spinal alignment correction with appropriate spinal manipulation, makes the treatment unique. DTS affects the disc as directly as possible without surgery.
Although it is difficult to predict the future, our experience is that most patients do find long-term relief or effective management of their pain when they complete the entire program of treatments using The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction. Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our clinic will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence. As with any comprehensive rehabilitation program your continued home care exercises and discretion in some daily activities is key to long-term relief.
Our office visits vary as to the extent of care needed. However, we promise to only do those procedures necessary for your fullest recovery. You always have the choice as to the extent of care. Our staff will review all costs, payment options, and insurance coverage up front. We want to help, and believe finances shouldn’t stand in the way of you and good health.
Though each patient is different, and no doctor can guarantee success, the clinical results of this type of therapy have been effective in over 85% of patients treated. Common problems to many back conditions are damaged discs and poor spinal muscle control. Our treatment program addresses both of these core problems. The Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction DTS creates a controlled unloading of the vertebra to decrease disc pressure thus increasing blood and nutrient exchange.
It depends on the complexity and extent of the rehabilitation needed; however, we typically treat 1 to 3 times a week for 5 to 20 visits, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond. The treatment is administered over a reasonable time frame and your response is continually evaluated. Further treatments may be necessary, or a reduced frequency may be recommended at that time. The rehabilitative phase may include additional Chattanooga Triton Decompression Traction System (“DTS”) treatments, with spinal adjustments to enhance the results.
ESWT is a safe, effective and non- surgical technology utilizing high-energy, short wavelength sound waves, called shockwaves, to treat tendons, bone and periosteum (the pain sensitive membrane on bone). Healing effects include bone and tendon regeneration, increased blood vessel growth and a chemically induced decrease in pain and sensitivity of the pain receptors.Research proves ESWT is extremely effective for most near to bone tendonitis and more so than most of the alternatives. I.e. Plantar fascitis (90% Improvement), Tennis Elbow (77% Improvement), Calcific Tendonitis of the shoulder (91% Improvement).
Very safe! ESWT has no long term effects or damages. Some short term discomfort is felt during the treatment and some people will experience mild bruising, tingling or numbness over the area of the treatment.
Chattanooga explains how the pulses are created by compressed air, which is then converted into acoustic energy.“The acoustic pulses then spread into the underlying tissue, treating a larger area than the focused shockwave shown…,” it says.
Further, “the pathological association between pain and muscle tone and vascular tone is broken as a result of shock wave therapy and the strong stimuli it produces, thus enabling natural movement patterns to be remembered and recalled.”
This area then becomes perfect for healing and repair, including increasing circulation of blood and reduction of chronic inflammation.
Pain reduction: the pulses intercept the ordinary neurones that would transmit signals of pain. Increased metabolism: right down to the cellular level the waves can reach, causing them to release pain. Revascularisation: the repeated shockwaves promotes tissue healing and regeneration by increasing the blood flow.
