Spinal Decompression Therapy

Using our D.T.S. table is a safe and effective treatment for low back and neck pain without the risks associated with surgery, anesthesia, infection, injections, or prescription medication. Decompression therapy is rapidly gaining popularity due to the exceptional results in treating pain without surgery. Prior to beginning treatments, Dr. Hartley will evaluate you to determine if you are a candidate for Spinal Decompression Therapy, as there are certain conditions for which this therapy would be contraindicated.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is an effective treatment for: Herniated disc, Degenerative disc, Facet syndrome, Sciatica, Post-surgical patients, Spinal Stenosis.

This method of treatment uses a therapeutic table that is connected to a computer, to electronically stretch and decompress your spinal structures. The process is fully automated and administered by a computer which is monitored by a technician. It is not uncommon to experience a significant reduction in pain early in your treatments.

 Spinal Decompression Therapy(D.T.S.) is safe. It is comfortable. It is effective. It is affordable.



Spinal Decompression Therapy works by restoring proper function to an injured disc. This is done by producing a controlled, mechanical traction on the spine using our  DTS Decompression Table. During the pull phase, injured discs are gently stretched apart, producing a suction force inside the disc. This draws disc buldges and herniations back into the center of the disc along with oxygen, water, nutrients, and other healing substances. The end result is a strong, healthy, properly functioning disc in about 84% of the patients. Spinal Decompression Therapy is a lot like disc rehabilitation. Not only does decompression minimize disc bulges and herniations, but it also restores the proper nutrient supply to the disc. This allows the disc to regain its proper motion, and essentially proper nutrient supply. If the decompression is successful, the disc remains healthy even after the treatment is finished.
