Our Comprehensive Approach

What is Chattanooga DTS spinal decompression? Computer-controlled Chattanooga DTS (Dynamic Traction System) spinal decompression uses precise pull-relax cycles and angle targeting to unload affected lumbar or cervical levels. How does decompression work? This creates negative intradiscal pressure, promotes fluid exchange and nutrient diffusion, and relieves nerve root compression—drawing herniated disc material back toward the center and allowing healing nutrients to enter. What assessment do we use? Before beginning treatment, we conduct a comprehensive movement assessment using 3D gait analysis, EMG testing, and pressure mapping to identify the root causes of disc-related pain and ensure targeted intervention. What complementary therapies do we use? Combined with Redcord Neurac activation for deep spinal stabilizers, EMG-guided motor control, and functional movement retraining, patients achieve durable results and lasting pain relief. Our integrated approach addresses both the disc pathology and the underlying movement patterns that contribute to pain. Clinical Pilates isn't just exercise—it's precision movement retraining for rehabilitation. Unlike traditional Pilates, Clinical Pilates at DakshinRehab Moosapet, Hyderabad combines evidence-based principles with individual assessment to address back pain, post-surgical recovery, and chronic conditions. Our certified instructors use specialized equipment and targeted exercises to restore deep core strength, improve posture, and eliminate pain. Whether you're recovering from ACL surgery or managing chronic back pain, Clinical Pilates rehabilitation accelerates your recovery with lasting results.

1

Assessment & Diagnosis

Comprehensive clinical examination with movement testing, MRI/imaging review, and postural analysis to identify disc pathology, nerve involvement, and biomechanical dysfunctions. We confirm candidacy for spinal decompression and create a personalized treatment plan with clear functional goals.

2

DTS Spinal Decompression

Computer-controlled Chattanooga DTS traction creates negative disc pressure using programmed pull-relax cycles and precise angle targeting. Sessions are gradually progressed over 4-8 weeks (15-20 minutes per session) with real-time monitoring and adjustments based on your response and symptom improvement.

3

Activation & Stabilization

Concurrent Redcord Neurac exercises target deep spinal stabilizers (multifidus, transverse abdominis) to prevent re-injury. EMG biofeedback guides motor control retraining. Manual therapy addresses muscle guarding, joint restrictions, and mobility deficits. Learn proper body mechanics and ergonomics for spine health.

4

Maintenance & Prevention

Gradual return to full activities with progressive loading and a structured home exercise program. Periodic check-ins ensure sustained results. We provide flare-up management strategies, activity pacing techniques, and lifestyle modifications to maintain disc health and prevent future episodes.

01

Phase 1: Pain Relief & Disc Unloading (Weeks 1-2)

Goal: calm nerve irritation, reduce intradiscal pressure, and break muscle guarding. Gentle intermittent traction cycles (60s hold/30s rest) with angle bias toward affected level. Force: lumbar 25-40% body weight, cervical 10-15% body weight. Paired with Redcord low-load deep core breathing, pelvic control, directional-preference mobility, and cryo/IF modalities as needed. Frequency: 2-3x/week.

02

Phase 2: Rehydration, Mobility & Motor Control (Weeks 2-6)

Goal: sustain disc unloading while restoring segmental mobility and neuromuscular control. Progress hold time and force (lumbar 30-50% BW, cervical 15-20% BW), refine angles for targeted levels. Add Redcord Neurac progressions for multifidus/transversus, hip-hinge patterning, gluteal activation. Use EMG biofeedback when indicated. Frequency: 2-3x/week.

03

Phase 3: Stabilization & Functional Strength (Weeks 4-8)

Goal: wean table time while building load tolerance and resilience. Lower decompression frequency (1-2x/week) or shorter sessions as symptoms permit. Add progressive anti-rotation work, carries, posterior-chain loading, step-downs/split squats. Integrate posture and ergonomic drills for work/home. Focus on functional movement patterns.

04

Phase 4: Maintenance & Flare-Up Plan (As Needed)

Goal: maintain results and manage episodic flares early. Transition to home program: mobility + strength schedule, activity pacing, sleep hygiene. Optional periodic booster sessions for high-demand activities or seasonal flares. Long-term: independent self-management with clinic check-ins as needed to prevent recurrences.

Why DTS Decompression + Exercise Works

Disc herniation or bulging compresses spinal nerves, causing back/neck pain, sciatica, arm pain, numbness, and weakness. Chattanooga DTS spinal decompression creates negative intradiscal pressure through computer-controlled traction, drawing herniated material toward the disc center and allowing nutrient-rich fluid to enter. This accelerates healing while relieving nerve compression. However, decompression alone is temporary—lasting relief requires restoring deep stabilizer coordination and global strength. Redcord Neurac's closed-chain, pain-free activation helps switch on inhibited muscles so you keep the gains made on the DTS table. Clinical studies show 70-85% of patients achieve significant pain reduction and improved function with decompression plus exercise.

Example:
Clinical evidence: Patients with lumbar disc herniation treated with DTS decompression plus core stabilization show 75-80% pain reduction and improved disability scores after 6 weeks, with sustained results at 1-year follow-up. Early intervention prevents progression to surgery in most cases.

Spinal decompression is effective for lumbar or cervical disc bulge/herniation, sciatica, arm pain from nerve root irritation, degenerative disc disease, facet joint irritation, and discogenic pain with sitting/bending intolerance. It's particularly beneficial for patients seeking non-surgical options before considering injections or surgery. At DakshinRehab Moosapet, Hyderabad, our spine decompression therapy uses computer-controlled Chattanooga DTS technology combined with Redcord Neurac activation for lasting relief.
No, DTS (Dynamic Traction System) spinal decompression is designed to be gentle and comfortable. You should feel a controlled, therapeutic stretch. The computer-controlled system uses pull-relax cycles and safety stops to prevent discomfort. Angles and forces are adjusted in real-time by your therapist at our Moosapet facility. Many patients even relax or fall asleep during sessions.
Typical treatment plans include 12-20 sessions over 4-8 weeks, scheduled 2-3 times per week initially, then tapered as symptoms improve. Acute cases often improve within 2-6 visits, while chronic cases generally need a full program with progressive loading. Your clinician will adjust the plan based on your response and functional goals.
Side effects are minimal. Some patients experience mild, temporary soreness or fatigue similar to a good stretch or workout. This typically resolves within 24 hours. Significant flare-ups are uncommon. If any discomfort occurs, we modify your treatment parameters immediately. Overall, spinal decompression is very well-tolerated with low risk.
No. Traditional constant traction was often uncomfortable and less precise. Chattanooga DTS spinal decompression uses computer-guided pull-relax cycles, angle targeting, and comfort ramping—far more sophisticated and tolerable. The system automatically adjusts forces and includes safety stops, making it significantly more effective and patient-friendly than old traction methods.
Spinal decompression unloads the disc and nerve, providing immediate relief. However, lasting improvement requires restoring stability and correcting movement patterns. Redcord Neurac activation, core strengthening, and functional exercises ensure the relief you gain on the DTS table carries over to daily activities and prevents recurrence. Evidence shows combined treatment produces superior long-term outcomes.
Many patients achieve lasting improvement with a complete DTS program and home exercises. Results depend on condition severity, chronicity, and adherence to the full treatment protocol. Good sleep hygiene, regular activity breaks, maintaining strength, and proper ergonomics significantly reduce recurrence rates. Periodic booster sessions can help manage episodic flares early.
Yes, absolutely. DTS spinal decompression works for both lumbar and cervical conditions. By unloading the affected lumbar level (for sciatica) or cervical level (for arm pain/radiculopathy), we relieve pressure on the inflamed nerve root while correcting contributing biomechanical factors. Most patients experience significant reduction in radiating pain within the first few weeks of treatment.
