BOARDMAN, Ohio -- Advanced Chiropractic and Rehab Inc. has obtained a new Triton DTS Spinal Decompression table for its Hubbard facility. Advanced Chiropractic also has a facility here.
“We plan to use it in conjunction with regular chiropractic care and physical therapy to help our patients with back pain," said Dr. Michael Lyons. "The decompression table can help patients with a variety of conditions, such as herniated, protruding, or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, or radiculopathy (pinched nerve."
The table is a computer controlled device that systematically cycles discs through distraction and relaxation phases, and by proper positioning, can isolate a disc, Lyons explains. This isolation causes a vacuum effect which helps to correct herniated disc material and also increase blood flow, stimulating a healing effect within the body. The research points to the beneficial effects of traction because it can distract joint surfaces, reduce protrusions of nuclear discal material, stretch soft-tissue muscles and mobilize joints. These effects provide many patients with relief from spinal dysfunction, Lyons said.
