Spinal Decompression

At LeBlanc Spine Center, over 95% of our patients find that spinal decompression has helped give them relief as well as heal from their spinal disc injuries without surgery. Dr. Scott and Dr. Dana LeBlanc have been treating patients since 2011, and take pride in providing patients in Louisiana a with a non-invasive approach to get rid of their low back and neck pain. Our doctors map out personalized care plans, review x-rays and MRI’s with patients, and track progress throughout treatment, to achieve maximum results.

We have two offices, located in Baton Rouge and Kenner.

Call today and our amazing staff will get you scheduled to see if you are a candidate for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression!

Non-surgical Spinal Decompression is a non-invasive, breakthrough treatment for acute and chronic back and leg pain or neck and arm pain sufferers. Decompression is highly effective in the management of herniated, ruptured, bulging and degenerative discs. It is safe and effective without the normal risks associated with invasive procedures such as injections or surgery. During the procedure a series of distraction and relaxation phases occur at a very specific angle. A spinal disc can be isolated and a negative pressure(vacuum) can be created inside the disc. Our state of the art technology is FDA cleared and is very successful in relieving pain low back and neck pain sufferers, particularly when other treatments have failed.

DTS Spinal Decompression provides relief to severe back and neck pain sufferers by gently reducing the pressure within spinal discs. The bones of the spine are slowly and methodically separated using the state-of-the-art DTS Spinal Decompression Unit. As the vertebrae are separated pressure is slowly reduced within the disc (intradiscal pressure) until a vacuum is formed. This vacuum “sucks” the gelatinous center of the disc back inside thereby reducing the disc bulge or disc herniation. Significant disc bulge reduction removes pressure off the spinal nerves and drastically reduces pain and disability. This “sucking” vacuum also pulls much-needed oxygen, nutrients and fluid into injured and degenerated discs allowing the healing to begin.

The treatment motion is computer controlled to provide gentle and painless decompression of the injured spinal discs. Advanced DTS decompression techniques separate slowly and cycle between brief moments of pulling and relaxing (oscillation). This reduces protective muscle spasm that contributed to the poor success rate of outdated “traction” techniques. The DTS unit also incorporates advanced angulated elongation methods to target specific discs of the spine (for example: L5/S1 at the base of the spine). “Angulated Elongation” refers to the angle at which the healing decompression force is applied. This allows the treatment to rely less on brute force (separating multiple levels with high force) and more on finesse (using less decompressive force to focus on a single spinal segment) to rehabilitate individual spinal discs.

DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy is a pain-free alternative that has shown a very high rate of success at reducing and even eliminating back and neck pain altogether. If you suffer from chronic, debilitating, low back or neck pain, you owe it to yourself to call our office today to make an appointment to see if you’re a candidate for the DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy.

Our office is dedicated to offering the latest, state-of-the-art therapies for treating pain in the low back and neck, sciatica, pinched nerves, and bulging or degenerative disc diseases. We believe DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy to be the most advanced, non-surgical and pain-free alternative.

During spinal decompression therapy a negative pressure(vacuum) is created within the disc. Because of that negative pressure, disc material that has been herniated can be pulled back within the disc and allow healing to occur.

The award winning Triton Computer is the difference. It controls the variations in traction pull allowing for spinal decompression, and eliminating muscle pull or guarding that occurs with traditional traction systems. Studies verify the significant reduction of intradiscal pressures in the negative pressure range, to approximately -150mm/HG, which results in the non-surgical decompression of the disc and nerve root. Traditional traction has never demonstrated reduction of intradiscal pressure to negative ranges; on the contrary-many standard traction devices may actually increase intradiscal pressure due to reflex muscle spasm. The DTS Decompression system is designed to apply traction to the patient's spine without eliciting reflex muscle contractions.

Anyone who in whole or in part has back or neck pain caused by a damaged disc. These conditions include herniated, protruding or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves).

YES! There's plenty of research to back up the claims of Spinal Decompression Therapy and its effectiveness. Here are just a few of the published scientific studies......

• “Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function...No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, surgery).” - American Academy of Pain Management

• “We thus submit that decompression therapy should be considered first, before the patient undergoes a surgical procedure which permanently alters the anatomy and function of the affected lumbar spine segment.” - Journal Of Neuroscience Research

• “86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symptoms.” - Orthopedic Technology Review

• “Vertebral axial (spinal) decompression was successful in 71% of the 778 cases” - Journal of Neurological Research

• “Good to excellent relief in 86% of patients with Herniated discs” - The American Journal of Pain Management

• “Decompression Therapy reported a 76.5% with complete remission and 19.6% with partial remission of pain and disability” - Rio Grande Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery
