Non-surgical Triton® DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy as performed in our office is a modern high-tech form of generally painless traction, also known as distraction. It is a reasonably successful non-surgical alternative procedure for relieving neck, arm, wrist, knee, low back and leg pain. It is an effective treatment for:

Herniated (ruptured) or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Sciatica
Failed spinal surgery
Facet syndrome
Some Knee Conditions
Sports Injuries
Wrist 'Carpal Tunnel' Syndrome (Repetitive Strain Injuries)

Triton® DTS Spinal Decompression traction is very successful in relieving the pain associated with disc bulging and herniation, degenerative discs and posterior facet syndromes due to compression of spinal discs, facet joints and nerve roots. Spinal disc decompression utilizes traction and positioning to help alleviate many symptoms and promote healing of the damaged tissues.

When combined with the high technology of safe and painless Low Level Laser Therapy - LLLT (also known as 'cold' laser therapy), there is an approximate direct effective 40% accelerated enhancement to the healing process rendering quicker, effective and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return sooner to a more active lifestyle.

Research to develop the Triton® DTS Spinal Decompression procedure was conducted by prominent physicians, engineers and technicians at major teaching hospitals.

Do you have a herniated disc, multiple herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, knee problems, wrist 'carpal tunnel' or repetitive strain injuries (RSI)? Is your doctor suggesting surgery, pain management with drugs, or physical therapy? Then 'Laser Enhanced Triton® DTS Spinal Decompression' (LESD) therapy may be the answer in helping to correct and improve your health, well-being and lifestyle!

Call us now at (416) 633-3000 for a courtesy, no obligation, brief consultation
to determine if you are a candidate for our Laser Enhanced Triton® DTS
Spinal Decompression Therapy (LESD) program.

Our Triton® DTS spinal traction system is Health Canada and USA - FDA licensed and approved, and, has been clinically proven with a very high success rate for the pain and symptoms associated with herniated and/or bulging discs…even after failed back surgery.

Research indicates that the disc is responsible for a significant number of lumbar/leg pain and neck/arm pain syndromes. Compression increases internal disc pressure leading to possible protrusion, herniation and bulging of disc material.

Triton® DTS spinal traction therapy in conjunction with the additional treatment modalities provided in our clinic can, in most cases, effectively relieve the pain and disability resulting from disc injury and degeneration, aiding in the healing of damaged discs and reversing dystrophic changes in nerves. Triton® DTS spinal traction treats the functional and mechanical aspects of disc pain through non-surgical traction (decompression) of spinal discs. Combined with laser, the healing process is accelerated and enhanced!

Clinical studies verify the significant reduction of internal disc pressures which result in the non-surgical traction of the disc and nerve root. Older, conventional traction has never demonstrated a reduction of this internal disc pressure; on the contrary – many older traction devices actually increased internal disc pressure, most likely due to reflex muscle spasm.

Our new computer controlled Triton® DTS spinal traction equipment is designed to apply distraction and decompression to the patient’s spine and discs without producing reflex paravertebral muscle contractions.

By significantly reducing internal disc pressure, the Triton® DTS spinal decompression promotes retraction of the herniation back into the disc and advances the intake of fluids, oxygen and other substances necessary for healing the disc. This activity stimulates repair and inhibits leakage of materials from the nucleus of the disc.

The most recent research trial sought to correlate clinical success with MRI evidence of disc repair as a result of such treatment, found that reduction of disc herniation ranged between 10% and 90% depending on the number of sessions performed, while disc annulus healing was evident in all cases.

The most recent clinical study of 219 patients has shown that this type of non-surgical therapy, provided nearly immediate resolution of symptoms for approximately 86% of the participants, and 84% remained pain-free 90 days after the treatment was finished.
