Detensor-therapy: description, indications, application and reviews

Pain in the back is placed on a hospital bed, regardless of age and lifestyle. Everyone faces this problem at least once. Treatment can last for years or require surgical intervention. Then follows rehabilitation, which also takes time, energy and finances. Even adherents of a healthy lifestyle and fitness can not be sure that they will avoid falling out of the disk, intervertebral hernia or pinching of nerve endings in the spine. Since recently, there has been a method that promises to change the situation and promises a painless solution to many problems with the spine.

Problems of existing methods

Today, there are many techniques, apparatus for leveling the spinal column, reducing the consequences of injuries, relief of pain, but they all function for a limited period of time and do not help everyone. Also, there is another problem: all procedures are not carried out independently, require the participation of medical personnel, medical supervision.

The human factor often becomes a bigger problem than the disease, and the consequences of an unprofessional or inattentive approach can bring additional trauma. Anyway, the ideal way with which you can painlessly solve problems with back pain, no.

Inventor

There are methods by which the condition can be significantly improved, and even get rid of painful pain. One of them is gaining popularity and showing positive results in the struggle for health with safety of use. Detencor therapy is the name of a new method for treating spine diseases.

It was developed by Professor K. Kinlein (Germany), the desire to result was the scientist's own problem. In the 70s, the scientist received numerous fractures of the spine, all the options he tried to mitigate the consequences of injuries did not bring significant results. The situation demanded a solution, and it was found by him. In research and development, the wife of Kinlein took part, as a result, a constructive mattress (mat) was invented that helped to remove pain syndrome, improve the general condition and avoid the accumulation of further complications.

Description

Detensor therapy is an extension of the spine, which occurs with the help of a special device that can be in every home. Mat Detensor is a design consisting of soft fins made of foamed polyurethane. The location of the ribs is inclined, the direction of inclination is different from the one on the mat where the lumbar region is located.

Lying on the mat, the patient does not experience discomfort, the ribs gently, under the influence of weight, begin to move apart, thereby pulling the spine. This method of equalization is more sparing, because it does not cause overstrain of ligaments, muscles, pain syndrome is excluded from application, which often happens with other methods of extension (underwater, mechanical with the help of a loop system, etc.).

Detensor therapy is a technique that allows to reduce pain syndrome after surgical interventions, is useful in curving the spinal column, causes relaxation of muscles along the back, decompression of the intervertebral discs, which leads to a reduction in hernia, removal of pinching of nerve endings.

Operating principle

Detensor therapy involves stretching the intervertebral space in a gentle way, the main acting factor of which is the patient's body weight. During the development of the samples, clinical trials were conducted on patients with different weights. As a result, devices with three degrees of rib stiffness for adults and two for children were developed.

To understand the principle of the method, it is necessary to decipher the very name - detensor-therapy. What it is? In translation from the Latin language de - "withdrawal", "removal", and tensor means "tense". That is, the essence of the method consists in relieving tension, in relaxing muscles and ligaments, which entails a therapeutic effect.

The patient is placed on the mat, the fit of the body occurs along the horizontal moving ribs with a degree of rigidity that does not allow them to form in the horizontal plane. The intervertebral space appears in the lumens of the ribs of the mat, under the action of the weight of the body the ribs come into motion, thereby stretching the spine. The process is of a physiological nature, does not carry tramopopasnyh positions, while the sensations are very pleasant, the body quickly relaxes.

Indications for use

Detensor-therapy indications and contraindications also have, like any method of exposure. This type of exposure will be useful in the following diseases:

• Dystrophic changes in the structure of the spinal column (osteochondrosis of any department).
• Constant tension of the muscles of the back, fatigue, chronic diseases, generating pain in the back.
• Intervertebral hernia (both in exacerbation, and in remission).
• Intervertebral disk prolapse, structural disorders.
• Congenital and acquired curvature of the spine (scoliosis).
• Fractures of the spinal column in any department.
• General muscle tension, clamping, resulting from stress, depression.
• Pathologies in the development of the cervical spine in children.
• Migraines and bronchial asthma.
• Bedsores and prevention of their appearance.
• Diseases of the spine of various etiologies (except for those declared in contraindications).

Contraindications

Detensor therapy is a method with a small number of contraindications. It is completely unacceptable for the following diseases:

• Any tumors (benign, malignant) of the spine, spinal cord in the stage of withering off the membranes.
• Freshly received acute back injuries in any department.

Relative contraindications, in which the detensor-therapy is appointed on the recommendation of a specialist:

• Rheumatic diseases in the stage of exacerbation.
• Some types of scoliosis (alternating, etc.).
• Some congenital pathologies of the spinal column.
• Separate diseases of the cervical spine (spondylolisthesis, etc.).
• With Bechterew's disease, the degree of rigidity of the detensor-mat is chosen.

In connection with the almost complete safety of the method, it has been widely used in specialized institutions - sanatoria, clinics, hospitals. The cosmonaut training center also uses the relaxing and healing qualities that give detensor therapy (the indications were given above). Positive dynamics is observed after 3-4 sessions, each of which lasts an average of 30 minutes.

The result of the method

Detensor therapy complex effects on the entire body. This is due to the improvement of the spine, it often happens that the clamped nerve endings simulate pain in any organ, corrected posture eliminates such phenomena. The human body in the horizontal position is stretched by increasing the interdisk distance to the physiological limits. Cartilage tissue is restored, receives a sufficient amount of moisture, nutrients.

With regular use, the displaced discs occupy the desired position, they are not clamped by the musculature. The intervertebral hernia disappears , releasing the roots of the nerves, the pain syndrome disappears. Soft stretching under its own weight relaxes the musculature, the spine is unloaded and takes the nature-conditioned structure and position, improves the supply of tissues with blood, and as a consequence, regeneration occurs. Prolonged use of the detensor-mat stabilizes the condition and causes a persistent healing effect.

With osteochondrosis

One of the most common diseases of bone tissue is dystrophy, that is, osteochondrosis. Detensor therapy for osteochondrosis is often included in the physiotherapeutic complex of treatment of the disease, as well as in the postoperative rehabilitation period. The use of the method is determined by a mild corrective effect on the vertebral column, relief of pain and improvement in the work of most internal organs.

During the session, patients with osteochondrosis improve lymphatic drainage, microcirculation of fluids in soft tissues, increases the elasticity of the ligaments, relaxes the nerve endings - all this is a positive action that provides detensor therapy. What is it, from the expert's point of view? A safe method that can strengthen the basic treatment and help the patient gain health.

Reviews

In many specialized institutions that deal with musculoskeletal problems, in practice, detensor therapy is used. Reviews of patients with positive evaluation tell about the result after several sessions. They state that the painful sensations that have resulted from osteochondrosis have decreased significantly in some, and some have completely ceased. Patients who suffered from back problems, but did not address this issue to specialists, having experienced a detensor-mat, were satisfied with the recovered health.

Negative responses were left by people who did not feel any effect after the procedure and questioned the appropriateness of this method.
