More people miss work and social engagements from back pain than almost any other ailment. The pain of muscle strains, ligament spasms, or a compressed or herniated disk, as a result of an accident or the simple wear-and-tear of aging, slows us down, makes us miserable, and causes everyday motions pure torture. As a result, millions pay for risky surgery, expensive corsets, and pain medications with all their side-effects. Because these attempts to find relief are sometimes effective, sufferers look no farther for answers, and more than half end up back in a doctor’s office with the same symptoms or a worsened condition. All anyone with back pain wants is freedom from pain, permanently. Is there such a thing?
I am confident there is. I am introducing the DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy Unit to my practice because I know that combining acupuncture with the Decompression Therapy will bring my patients the relief from pain they seek. The DTS Spinal Decompression Unit consists of segmented bed with extensions that go under the arms, and comfortable straps to hold a patient securely in place as traction is produced by the unit. Traction allows the spine to expand and vertebrae separate, providing relief from pain, allowing healing to occur.
Not only does the DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy Unit work to relieve pain, but along with acupuncture, there is synergistic effect. Patients strengthen their back and surrounding support musculature, ligaments and tendons layers. Acupuncture is therapeutic in releasing healing energy and power into the ligaments, tendons and muscles long traumatized by spasms and lack of use. Once healing is achieved, strong musculature of the back and stomach can better support the spine, so future back problems are much less likely to occur. A strong back means pain relief, as well.
Hospitals use this unit for patients with spinal cord injuries. It is a relaxing experience during which many patients fall asleep because for the first time in ages, the pain is gone. Eight thousand hospitals and physical therapy clinics that use the DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy unit can’t be wrong! Make an appointment; stop in soon so that you will live better, free from pain.
