Amarillo Chiropractor, Amarillo Texas: Amarillo spine and rehabilitation center

Decompression Therapy

Amarillo area patients are avoiding surgery with this new equipment

One of the unique features of Amarillo Spine and Rehabilitation Center is our special equipment used in cases of herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndromes and other situations that used to predict surgery.

We were the first clinic in Amarillo to offer the DTS form of traction with a result of spinal decompression. We now have 3 units in constant operation. Although there are numerous different equipment manufacturers with some machines that look quite elaborate and are quite expensive, we are still satisfied we have the best equipment available today. If we thought there was a better piece of equipment to do the job we would have it. This opinion is based on the 1000’s of spinal decompression cases we have performed, our results and our continuing education in the field of spinal disc disease and injury.

The Problem

Each of us is constantly in a battle. With gravity! A frequent casualty is the soft disc material that separates each spinal bone. Pressure from our weight, trauma from an accident and other causes can increase the pressure on a weakened disc. In extreme cases, the soft pulpy center of the disc can escape. That can be quite painful.

The Solution

First, we have you lie down on our specially-equipped table. Then, ever so slowly, we stretch your spine. And then relax it. Stretch. And relax. Patients tell us this tractioning process is quite pleasant, even relaxing. Because they don’t feel the need to “guard” their spine, each sequence helps the damaged disc receive nourishment, expel cellular waste and enjoy reduced pressure. Then, healing can begin.

Helpful and Effective

Every patient responds differently, but typical visit frequency is in the 3-5 times per week range. Our experience shows that decompression can be helpful in supporting cases prone to frequent relapses.

While not a cure-all, our decompression table is highly effective. It has caught the attention of many medical doctors in the Amarillo area who see its value and are referring their patients before resorting to surgical solutions.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a wonderful adjunct to your chiropractic or physical therapy treatment. Techniques include deep tissue massage, ischemic trigger point therapy, myofascial release, sports massage and of course, relaxation therapy. However, most of the soft tissue work performed is to address a specific muscle problem. The soft tissue therapy helps to speed the healing process.

Physical Therapy

Our on-site licensed physical therapy includes exercise instruction up to full rehabilitation protocols for spines, shoulders, knees, hips and ankles. Combining both chiropractic and physical therapy under one roof helps deliver the quickest results possible. If you’ve had surgery and your surgeon is recommending rehab, remember that you have the right to choose your own physical therapy provider. Just have your doctor refer to our physical therapist, Koby Hooker, P.T.
