The Chattanooga Triton DTS (Dynamic Traction System) is a type of spinal decompression therapy system commonly used by chiropractors to treat various spinal conditions, such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis. It is designed to provide gentle and controlled traction to the spine, relieving pressure on compressed discs and nerves while promoting healing and pain relief.
The Chattanooga Triton DTS features computerized traction control, allowing chiropractors to customize treatment parameters based on each patient's specific condition and treatment goals. The device offers precise control over traction force, angle, and hold/release times, ensuring safe and effective treatment outcomes.
Decompression therapy is designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. The treatment table has padded surfaces and support cushions for proper body positioning and comfort during traction sessions. Additionally, the device has built-in safety features and sensors to monitor traction force and adjust treatment parameters to prevent injury or discomfort.
The equipment uses a sophisticated traction system to deliver mechanical traction and decompression to the spine. The device gently stretches and elongates the spine, creating negative pressure within the spinal discs and promoting herniated or bulging disc material retraction. This decompression relieves pressure on pinched nerves, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation to promote healing.
Spinal decompression technology allows Dr. Caroline von Fluegge-Chen of Balance Atlanta Family Chiropractic in Buckhead to target specific spine segments for traction therapy. By adjusting the angle and position of the traction system, she can focus treatment on the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (mid-back), or lumbar spine (lower back), providing targeted relief for various spinal conditions.
The Chattanooga Triton DTS offers both passive and active modes of traction therapy. In passive mode, patients relax and receive traction treatment, allowing the device to stretch and decompress the spine gently. In active mode, patients can engage their core muscles to enhance the effectiveness of traction and promote spinal stability.
By offering a variety of treatment protocols and programs to address different spinal conditions and patient needs, Dr. Caroline can customize treatment sessions at Balance Atlanta Family Chiropractic based on factors such as patient age, condition severity, and treatment response, ensuring personalized care for each individual.
The Chattanooga Triton DTS provides advanced intermittent and cyclical traction settings, enhancing its versatility for spinal decompression therapy. This feature allows clinicians to tailor treatment protocols to individual patient needs, whether for acute pain relief or long-term recovery.
The Chattanooga Triton DTS can be used as a standalone therapy or combined with other chiropractic techniques and modalities to provide comprehensive care for patients with spinal conditions. The doctor may incorporate spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, soft tissue therapies, and lifestyle recommendations into treatment plans to optimize results and promote long-term spinal health.
During a spinal decompression, patients typically experience a gentle, controlled stretching sensation along the spine. This sensation is characterized by a gradual elongation of the spine, designed to alleviate pressure on the intervertebral discs and surrounding structures. Throughout the treatment, patients often report feeling a sense of relaxation and relief as the decompression therapy works to realign and decompress the spinal column gently. While the sensation may vary from individual to individual, it is commonly described as a mild and soothing stretch accompanied by increased mobility and flexibility.
