The
DRS System for disc decompression in the Orlando area offers the most advanced technology available
for
non-surgical treatment of bulging or herniated discs, degenerative
discs, posterior facet syndrome, sciatica, spinal stenosis,
and many post surgical cases. Through clinical trials, the
non surgical decompression of lumbar discs with the DRS System
for disc decompression has proven to be 86% effective in the relief of pain and
disability resulting from disc injury and degeneration, by
facilitating the repairing of damaged discs and nerves.The
DRS System for disc decompression treatment addresses the
mechanical
aspects of discogenic pain through non-surgical
decompression of intervertebral discs, that is, unloading
due to distraction and positioning. Conventional lumbar traction
involves simple mechanical stretch, which, when applied continuously
or intermittently causes reflexive spinal muscle contraction
resulting increase
in intradiscal
pressure.
Contrary
to conventional traction, the DRS System disc decompression treatments apply pressures
on the disc in a proprietary, graduated manner which bypasses
the inherent neurological mechanisms that lead to firing
of stretch receptors in the paravertebral structures. This
decreased resistance to the distractive forces allows a marked
reduction in intradiscal pressures, which promotes healing
of damaged discs. In recent clinical studies,
this painless, non-invasive treatment has been shown to be
86% effective in relieving low back pain and sciatica |
