What
causes low back pain?
Low back pain can be caused by a number of factors from injuries to
the effects of aging.The spinal cord is protected by the vertebrae,
which are made of bone. Between each vertebra are soft discs with a
ligamentous outer layer. These discs function as shock absorbers to
protect the vertebra and the spinal cord. Many of the problems that
cause back pain are the result of herniation and degeneration of the
intervertebral disc. Degeneration is a process where wear and tear causes
deterioration of the disc. Herniations, or bulging of the disc are protrusions
from the disc that press on surrounding nerves, causing pain or numbness.
If
I undergo Triton DTS treatment, how long does it take to see results?
Most patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions.
Typically, significant improvement is obtained by the second week of
treatment.
How
long does it take to complete Triton DTS treatment?
Sessions times are between 30-45 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week for approximately
5 to 7 weeks. Though, the number of sessions may vary depending upon
the severity of the condition.
