Pinnacle Pain Center now offers a new non-surgical treatment of neck and lower back pain called Targeted Traction Therapy using the Accu-SPINA^TM system. We use a special program of stretches and strengthening exercises to reeducate your back or neck muscles and ligaments and then special traction forces are applied. The technology was developed by physicians and scientists and can help the majority of neck and lower back pain sufferers who have failed other therapies like chiropractic, traditional physical therapy, medications, epidural injections, and even surgery. Over the years tests have shown an 86% success rate in relieving back and neck pain. Our staff will evaluate your back or neck condition, and if appropriate, propose an individualized program for your particular problem.

What Is Targeted Traction Therapy?

Targeted Traction Therapy is a scientifically proven non-surgical and non-invasive treatment option for the relief of neck and lower back pain. Traction Therapy encourages disc decompression, a more descriptive phrase for the relief of pressure on back structures. As such it is a revolutionary and effective approach to the treatment of:

• Sciatica
• Bulging Discs
• Herniated Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Posterior Facet Syndrome
• Spinal stenosis
• Acute and Chronic neck and lower back pain
• Spondylosis

Targeted Traction Therapy focuses on specific spinal discs and the applied tension creates a vacuum in the disc. This negative pressure draws blood, water, oxygen and other nutrients into the disc and surrounding tissues, thereby rehabilitating the degenerated discs and associated ligaments. The negative pressures also can create an environment where herniated discs may resolve more quickly. The healing process relieves neck and back pain. Twenty to thirty sessions produce optimum results, and most patients can go on with their normal lives since no surgery or invasive procedures are involved.

Patients receive this therapy under subdued soothing light as heat and vibration envelopes their spine. Relaxing music by headphones allows for a truly comforting healing experience. Many patients fall asleep during their session. Here are some results you can expect:

1. Pain relief, even after just a few sessions
2. Shrinkage of disc herniation
3. Fewer incidents of back pain and debilitation
4. Return to active lifestyle
5. Increased mobilization
6. Quicker return to work
