I only work 4 days per week... No OT

the disc will not go into a negative pressure... that is what decompression therapy does..

I bet if all you operated on was athletic body types that are non-smokers under 50years old you would have really good outcomes. The reality is the people that go to spinal surgery are usually overweight, with poor nutrition, and do not want to do the rehab that is necessary to have a good outcome. Why do you think most people end up with bad disc. Rarely is it a specific occurrence that leads to a bulge or herniation. That is why when MRI's are done they generally have a degenerative component that is seen. The degenerative component takes years to develop, it did not happen overnight. Therefore even though the pain they feel was brought on by the lifting and twisting the problem was underlying for years... hence the straw that broke the camels back. Name a surgeon that only takes people that are fit, with good nutrtion, non-smokers, and have overall good lifestyle. Therefore patient selection excuse goes BYE-BYE. As far as the epidurals... I send people for them before they go see a surgeon. They effective rate is about 25%. Again the real world plays into the outcomes and effectiveness.

Where did you have it done and what was your treatment schedule? Was it decompression or just traction?

Hocus pocus... gee lets take a knife and slice you open, poke around your spinal cord, cut out some disc, put in plates and screws, then hope you are on of the 10% that is not the same or worse after surgery. Epidural are ok but work MAYBE 25% of the time. And no... you dont EVENTUALLY have to be cut on. That is a choice people make. If you cruise the pubmed and look at the long term out come of surgery (greater than one year) most people are the same or worse post surgical.

To a certain extent... They do not provide a consistent outcome, and you have now way of knowing how much traction is being applied.

The funny thing is if you take the DRX apart. It uses the same traction head as mine. I just dont have the big "case" that goes around the unit like the DRX.

I got to buy a new supra http://home.deds.nl/~stygmata/forumspam/jerry_laugh.jpg

That unit is over 100K new. It does work well, but is way too expensive for me to justify that type of a capital investment. The unit I bought does the exact same thing for 10% off the cost.

This is what I bought...triton DTS

I was jwondering if anyone has went through spinal decompression therapy. It is advertised on tv in Columbus. I just bought one of the decompression tables and I am looking for more feedback of others that have been through the program. Thanks
