Decompression Traction Therapy

Dr. Jeff Wood is Certified by Kennedy Decompression Traction Technique, a leader and expert in Decompression Traction Therapy.

Decompression Traction Therapy (DTT) is a non-traumatic treatment intervention when manipulation is negated due to examination findings. Decompression Traction Therapy is the treatment of choice for disc compression syndromes which current research suggests may contribute to 85% of patient back pain.  This treatment effectively enhances the healing process and has shown to be an effective and amazing pain relief  tool that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle.

• Decompression Traction Therapy is a treatment amenable to virtually any age or morphology.

   

• Unique in our area, our practice uses the Kennedy Technique which focuses on creating three major patient categories:  disc compression, movement disorders and a combination of the two. Each has its own specific criteria, functional examination and treatment parameters.

   

• Decompression Traction Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that may effectively treat disabling low back, neck, radiating leg & arm pain, and headaches.

   

• Decompression Traction Therapy is utilized to effectively relieve pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, and posterior facet syndromes by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning.
