How Canadian physician and biomedical engineer Dr. Allan Dyer pioneered the computerized decompression systems still used today. - Why Computerized Decompression Is Superior to Traction:
Discover how modern systems—like the Chattanooga Triton Decompression Unit—allow precise, intermittent traction that gently pumps fluid in and out of discs. - The Science of Disc Hydration:
Understand how decompression creates a natural “suction effect,” promoting nutrient flow, waste removal, and rehydration for damaged discs. - Acute vs. Chronic Disc Problems:
The difference between sudden herniations (the “gooey center” bursting out) and long-term arthritic degeneration—and how both respond to decompression therapy. - What to Expect During a Session:
A step-by-step look at how the decompression table, belts, and intermittent pull cycles work to restore space and relieve pressure in your spine or neck. - How Chiropractic and Decompression Work Together:
Why combining spinal adjustments with decompression therapy corrects alignment, restores motion, and supports long-term healing. - Real-World Results:
From migraines to sciatica, Dr. Maj shares remarkable success stories of patients who finally found relief after years of chronic pain.
Key Takeaway
Spinal decompression isn’t just traction—it’s a precise, computer-guided therapy that uses gentle, rhythmic movement to restore disc height, reduce nerve pressure, and promote healing at the cellular level. Combined with chiropractic care, it offers a powerful, natural alternative to surgery for both acute and chronic disc conditions.
