Our Unique 8-Step Care Program:

Developed by Dr. David Bass, the institute uses a select "8-Step" care program (a combination of procedures) that centers around the Articulating ROM Antalgic-Trak®. The 8-Step protocol was designed to deliver reliable and predictable results.*

• 1: Strategic Intake - This is our consultation and examination. It is where we learn about you and where we begin the process of determining how your condition will be treated in our program.

2: Weight Bearing X-ray and MRI Analysis - Because we utilize postural decompression, we'll need to evaluate the alignment relationship between your vertebrae and discs. This valuable information enables us to precisely position the "Antalgic-Track" to fit your spine. No two spines are the same.

3: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the NEW Antalgic-Trak®. Antalgic-Trak is the most advanced "state-of-the-art" non-surgical spinal decompression system in the world. It is used to treat herniated and bulging discs as well as the spinal distortions that can cause them. It also improves vertebral spacing, gliding and the dynamics of spinal movement (range of motion). 

4: Soft Tissue Mobilization Techniques - It is important not to neglect the muscles, tendons, ligaments and circulation of the spine. We utilize a variety of adjunctive therapies that can improve these tissues including massage, acupuncture, mobilizing manipulation and stretching exercises.

5: Nutrition - You are what you eat... as we rebuild and hydrate your injured disc we can improve the outcome with specialized supplements formulated to rebuild the disc cartilage and surrounding tissues.

6: Diathermy Therapy - Short Wave Diathermy produces a wave of electromagnetic energy that can stimulate healing. It has the ability to reach further into the spine than any other electrotherapy. Diathermy heals by improving circulation, reducing muscle spasms and calming irritated nerves. Simply stated, it speeds up tissue metabolism.

7: Stabilization Belting - We utilize special "belting" to separate and stabilize your spine between visits.

8: Exercise Rehabilitation - This is the best proven method of "locking in" your progress and protecting your improvements.

If you've heard about articulating spinal decompression, Dr. Bass invented it. The Antalgic-Trak® Spinal Decompression System is the only "articulating" decompression system in the world. It is an advanced form of spinal therapy that can dramatically reduce the symptoms of spine pain including the symptoms of a herniated discs.
