Do you have low back or neck pain that won’t go away?
Do you suffer from tingling in your arms or legs?
Do you have a
herniated disc, multiple herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, facet
syndrome?
Is your doctor suggesting surgery, pain management, or physical
therapy?
Our DTS Triton traction system is FDA approved and has
been clinically proven with a very high success rate for the pain and symptoms
associated with herniated and/or bulging discs…even after failed back surgery.
The most recent clinical study of 219 patients has shown that this type of
non-surgical therapy, provided nearly immediate resolution of symptoms for 86%
of the participants, and 84% remained pain-free 90 days after the treatment was
finished. DTS Decompression Therapy is an Alternative to Surgery. You don’t have
to live in debilitating pain. Whether you have lower back pain, a pinched nerve,
sciatica, neck pain, or a variety of symptoms related to damaged or degenerative
discs, as well as syndromes of the lumbar and cervical spine, DTS Therapy may be
for you.

What is DTS Therapy?
DTS Spinal Decompression
Therapy is a leading non-surgical alternative for disc related syndromes of the
lumbar and cervical spine. DTS Therapy uses simple, yet sophisticated equipment
manufactured by the leading rehabilitation equipment manufacturer in the US, The
Chattanooga Group. Chattanooga’s Titron ® DTS Decompressive Traction System is
the most popular decompression system with over 1,200 installations worldwide.
Health Focus Chiropractic is proud to be
one of over 1,000 clinics nationwide to offer safe and effective DTS Therapy
utilizing the Chattanooga DTS system. Clinical advances in traction therapy have
given new hope to millions suffering from the debilitating pain of damaged or
degenerative discs and pinched nerves.
Your Comfort is Our Top
Priority
A patient’s comfort is our top priority, and we want
their visits to be enjoyable and successful. Treatments are short in duration,
most completed in under an hour, and administered while you’re fully clothed.
Most patients undergoing this treatment report improvements and a reduction in
their pain after only a few sessions. DTS Therapy gently stretches the spine,
relieving pressure from the discs, joints and muscular tissues, while enhancing
the body’s natural healing process.
The gentle distractive forces of the
Titron® DTS creates decompression, the unloading due to distraction and proper
positioning, to improve blood flow and important nutrient exchange to the
injured area.

3
Phases of DTS Therapy
DTS Therapy is your answer for
non-surgical relief of lower back pain, sciatica pain relief, pinched nerve,
lower back pain relief, neck pain relief, and more.
PHASE I: The Treatment Begins
DTS Decompression Therapy is
performed on a specially designed table in either a face up or face down
position. Clinical consideration and your comfort are used in deciding which
position will be best for you. We may begin in one position but in later
sessions it may be necessary to change positions. You will remain fully dressed
during the treatment though we recommend wearing loose fitting clothes, and
removal of you belt and objects from your pockets.
You will be
comfortably positioned on the table and fitted with a wrap-around harness. This
restrain is what allows the unloading of the spine and discs by the traction
motor. Your position on the table, the harness, and angle of the gentle
distraction allows for accurate and focused treatment to the affected disc. Once
comfortable on the DTS, the computer controlled traction device is programmed to
deliver a gentle stretching force to the spinal vertebra. This force is
delivered directly to the harness system. The DTS system applies the gentle
force then releases it approximately every minute throughout the session. The
total treatment time is usually less than 18 minutes and often just 10 minutes
initially. Most patients report simply feeling a subtle and gentle stretching at
their lower back or around their hips. Since DTS Therapy is a comfort-based
procedure, patients usually report a sense of relief and relaxation during the
session. Many patients even fall to sleep.
Imbibing the
Discs
The gentle stretching and
relaxing of the spine fosters a phenomenon called “imbibition”. In the simplest
of terms, this is the way a normal disc gets nutrition. This pumping action
promotes nutrition intake into the discs, something often lost in damaged and
degenerative disc conditions. In health discs, imbibition occurs naturally with
daily motions and body positions and accounts for the increase of disc thickness
in the morning and decrease at night. A disc with poor imbibtion, fewer
nutrients and hydration, is more likely to become injured and painful.
Stretching or tractioning the spine in a controlled, comfortable manner can help
re-establish a more normal imbibition. This can re-supply the disc with
nutrients and blood contact that help the disc heal from the inside out. Also
the dramatic decrease of pressure in the disc (decompression) can foster the
drawing in of a bulge and help take pressure off a “pinched” spinal
nerve.
Re establish Structural Support
Although most patients report
dramatic reduction of their pain within as few as five treatments, an injured
spinal disc needs time to heal. This is why we urge you to be regular with your
prescribed treatments and office visits. Research shows to completely heal some
discs a regular program of home exercises, prescribed by your doctor will need
to be followed. Spinal disc structures can take months to heal. Even though your
pain may be gone, you must stay on the treatment plan in order to keep your
spine healthy.
As you become more mobile and more able to return to your
normal lifestyle, your increased activity is what your spine needs most. Now you
will be imbibing the discs naturally, like people their healthy discs. Movement
is life, and your spine depends on the muscle activity to support your spine,
and create fluid movement to and from the discs.
PHASE II: Stabilization of
Structure
Pain Is Under Control:
Rehabilitate the Structures Supporting the Disc
Most patients feel
significant pain reduction in as few as five DTS Therapy treatments. That
however does not mean the healing process is complete, or that your pain won’t
return.
During Phase II of your DTS Therapy treatments, our office will
prescribe a series of rehabilitative measures in order to more fully heal your
discs, and keep the pain from returning. Most low back pain suffers have two
compounding problems that have contributed to their disc injury and limited
their natural healing abilities.
- Decreased Spine Flexibility
- Poor
Muscle Control
A program of focused
rehabilitative exercise, with Biofeedback, may begin during or after your DTS
Therapy course of treatment. Our rehabilitation program involves several
clinically effective yet simple, pain-free activities including Biofeedback.
Biofeedback allows you to monitor and control spinal motion and re-claim proper
spinal movement patterns.
Strengthening the muscles that support the
spine and regaining endurance in them, is also vital for spinal
health.
All the body systems must work in concert for optimum health so
nutritional and lifestyle advice may be given as well as an at-home exercise
program. We can’t over emphasize the importance of the at-home exercises. What
you do at home is integral to the overall success we have. Studies show
consistent stabilization and endurance exercises control back pain and reduce
injury. At what point you start the exercise program is a function of your pain
and overall progress based on our findings.
PHASE III: Support of Muscular
System
During Phase III, we’ll structure an
in-office and home-based exercise program that will help to bring your spine
back to full health. This exercise program may include in-office resistance
training, at home Stabilizer exerciser and resistance training and other “core”
exercises.
Regular and consistent home based exercise is one of the keys
to long-term relief. We have found through experience the simple home-based
exercises we prescribe are most effective. Introduction to the low tech movement
exercises you can do to speed the healing process are one of the most important
parts of the DTS Therapy System.

I know there is so much controversy between chiropractic and medical care, but if it were not for chiropractic I would still be in pain. A car accident left me with constant lower back pain. I tried everything from painkillers to preparing to have surgery. I heard stories from my friends who had surgery and to this day wish they never had it. So I decided to go to a chiropractor before the surgery and I am so thankful that I did. My back pains are gone and I am living my life to the fullest and pain free.
