Spinal Decompression Traction
at Merrifield

Treat your low back or neck pain without surgery through decompression traction therapy. According to recent surveys, this painless and safe alternative is more than 70 percent effective in relieving low back pain and sciatica.

The Triton® DTS Traction System is designed to relieve pressure on the structures that may be causing low back pain, such as herniated discs or compression fractures. Through state-of-the-art technology, patients are able to maintain their comfort level unlike with most conventional or manual traction methods do not allow.

What makes the Triton® DTS Traction System different is the approach behind the system for providing spinal decompression therapy and lumbar decompression.

Utilizing VAX-D technology, this mechanical traction system utilizes both an electric tension head, table design and QuikWrap™ belting system. All components work together to mimic hands-on therapy for back decompression.

The Triton MP-1 provides a smooth electric gear motor control system that delivers the exact traction force in either intermittent or static mode with gentle progressive steps both at the beginning and end of treatment.  In addition, the Triton MP-1 continually monitors progress and makes adjustments to the weight changes due to tissue stretching or patient relaxation.

With each successive pull, the Triton TRT 550 traction table’s friction-free surface returns to a neutral position through a spring recoil device, thus allowing the control and consistency to be increased.  The size and capabilities of the table assure patients the most comfortable treatment session possible.

In addition, because this treatment method is covered by most insurance plans, out of pocket expenses are minimal.
