HillDT Spinal Decompression Table

The Hill DT Spinal Decompression Table

Patients who suffer from chronic pain associated with bulging, herniated or degenerative discs may benefit from treatment using a Spinal Decompression table.

These types of disc conditions which can manifest as back or neck pain itself as well as associated pain in the arms and legs, may have already been treated by traditional traction methods or even by spinal surgery to limited improvement.

At The Disc Doctor, we use the advanced HillDt Spinal Decompression table that exhibits computerized sensors that constantly measures and monitors the treatment force and muscle resistance during every session.

Here’s how the technique works:

1. Patient Positioning

You’re comfortably strapped to the table using a belt, harness, and additional props like a pillow to maintain correct spinal positioning.

2. Computerised Control

Once in place, one of the table’s eight specialised programs and targeted disc level is activated. The component parts of the table begin to gently manoeuvre creating a precise and repeatable stretching and releasing force on your spinal disc.

3. Sensor Technology

At a rate of over 10,000 pulses per millimetre, the Hill DT tables biofeedback system senses the patient’s approaching threshold and adjusts the pull and release forces accordingly. This ensures a relaxed and smooth spinal decompression treatment that is significantly more comfortable and effective than traction-based pulley systems.

4. Creating Negative Pressure:

As the table distracts the spine, it creates negative intradiscal pressure. This can result in the retraction or repositioning of bulging or herniated disc material, leading to decreased nerve irritation, reduced muscle spasm and pain relief.

5. Promoting Healing

The lower pressure within the disc can facilitate an influx of essential nutrients to the area, promoting further healing even when you’re not on the table.

6. Muscle Guarding Prevention

Unlike manual techniques, the Hill DT table’s seven sensors can detect when your muscles guard against the stretch. The table then releases the tension, ensuring maximum decompression.

Key advantages of the Hill DT table include:

Precise, computerised control of decompression force
Real-time adjustment based on your body’s response
Prevention of muscle guarding for more effective treatment
Ability to store patient profiles and protocols for consistent treatment across sessions
Smooth, comfortable decompression experience

This revolutionary technology sets the Hill DT table apart from other decompression systems, providing a more comfortable, safe, and effective treatment experience.

It allows for a truly personalised approach to spinal decompression therapy, adapting to each patient’s unique needs and responses throughout the treatment process.
