Spinal Decompression Therapy at Milwaukie Wellness Center | Summer 2008 Newsletter

Our mission at the Milwaukie Wellness Center is to enrich the lives of our patients and students by providing effective pain relief and enhanced innate vitality. As such we are committed to finding and offering the latest and most effective therapies for treating back pain. In that light I am excited to introduce a new modality, DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy. .

Spinal Decompression Therapy uses a gentle intermittent traction table that treats neck or back pain associated with sciatica, pinched nerves, bulging or degenerative discs.

It is our belief that combining massage therapy, yoga classes, and chiropractic care with DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy will provide effective non-surgical and drug free alternative treatment for chronic or acute neck or back pain.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

When a disc is "decompressed" negative pressure is created within the disc which allows for the reintroduction of water, oxygen and nutrients into the disc. This heals the disc from the inside out. Decreased pressure within a damaged disc allows the disc to rehydrate which restores the normal height to the disc and reduces any nerve irritation associated with a damaged disc.

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a pain free alternative to surgery that has shown a very high rate of success at reducing and even eliminating back and neck pain. If you suffer from chronic or acute low back or neck pain you owe it to yourself to call our office today to to see if you’re a candidate for DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy.
