West Chester Pain Management 
Spinal Decompression
Yes we do that too!
But we won't charge you thousands of dollars out of pocket like other offices will. We simply bill your insurance. This expands the number of patients that we can serve and helps you to keep from writing a $75-150 check for the same service that your insurance will cover.
Spinal decompression therapy is FDA cleared and has been clinically proven with an 86% success rate for pain associated with herniated, bulging or degenerative discs... even after failed surgery. It is a non-surgical, traction therapy for the relief of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain. During this procedure, by cycling through distraction and relaxation phases and by proper positioning, a spinal disc can be isolated and placed under negative pressure, causing a vacuum effect within it.
What machine is used for this purpose?
There are a number of spinal decompression machines presently used in the United States. After significant research, West Chester Pain Management has chosen to use the Triton DTS machine.
How is Spinal Decompression Therapy Different from Regular Traction
The DTS computer is the key. It controls the variations in the traction allowing for spinal decompression and eliminating muscle guarding and subsequent compression that is typical in conventional traction devices. The preprogrammed patterns for ramping up and down the amount of axial distraction allows for higher levels of spinal decompression and disc rehydration.
Who can benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Anyone who has back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a damaged disc may be helped by spinal decompression therapy. These conditions include: degenerative, herniated, protruding or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves).
Are there conditions where Spinal Decompression Therapy is not indicated?
Spinal decompression therapy is usually not recommended for pregnant women in some cases, or patients who have severe osteoporosis, severe obesity or severe nerve damage. However, every patient is evaluated on an individual basis.
