Spinal Decompression Traction

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.

I had the pleasure of being offered a position as a facility director at the same clinic that I had once started as an aide, and 12 years later, I’m just as pleased with the company and their ideals of quality vs. quantity care. Phoenix also provides a generous yearly continuing education package as they are focused on all therapists advancing their skills in the field, and maintaining high standards for their employees. I would highly recommend working for Phoenix to any therapist, new or experienced.

Keeping Our Clinics Safe

Here are some tips on how we can keep each other safe:

  • Handwashing is your best self-defense against the spread of germs. When soap and water are not available and hands are not visibly dirty, use at least a 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Please stay home if you are not feeling well, especially if you have a fever, are coughing or sneezing, or are experiencing shortness of breath. If a patient shows up with symptoms, the clinic team will work with them to reschedule.
  • Be vigilant. If you have traveled to any of the countries where there are outbreaks of the virus, please follow guidance from the CDC website and our Travel Guidelines.

Here are actions we are taking to keep our clinics clean and safe:

  • Equipment will be wiped down after EVERY use with antibacterial wipes/sprays
  • All surfaces that patients or staff may touch including door handles, countertops, seating, pens at sign-in, bathroom and all other common areas will be disinfected regularly
  • Treatment tables will be 6 feet apart
  • Team members will wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, particularly after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing their nose, coughing or sneezin
  • Clinics will have hand sanitizer available at the front desk and in the treatment areas
  • Any Phoenix team members who are ill will be asked to stay home
  • We will maintain social distancing between patients in the clinic
  • Caregivers that are bringing a patient to the clinic should wait in their car or come back when the appointment has ended unless necessary (i.e. minor requiring a guardian or for assistance needs)
  • When possible, we will treat patients in private rooms to increase social distancing
  • Any patients that have underlying health issues (i.e. diabetes, respiratory problems, etc.) will be given the option to be seen during special clinic hours or can opt to be treated in a private room away from other clinicians and patients
  • All patients should be self-screening before entering the clinic. Our PCCs will perform a secondary screening during the check-in process and before patients enter the clinic including a screening questionnaire and temperature check.
