Follow on Google News | Breakthrough Spinal Technology May Revolutionize Treatment of Pinched NervesNew Technology is Now Available in San Diego and Orange County
The DTRAX system utilizes tissue-sparing instruments and implants to “unpinch” a patient’s spinal nerve by decompressing and stabilizing the joints in the spine. This approach is designed to alleviate the pain, tingling and numbness to provide long-term relief from spinal discomfort. “DTRAX offers my patients the possibility of rapid improvement with shorter recovery time than surgery with traditional spinal instrumentation,” The traditional surgery to address a pinched nerve is performed through the front of the neck. While effective it has some drawbacks; patients may have a visible scar and difficulty swallowing. A cervical fusion with DTRAX can be performed from the back of the neck and many patients leave the hospital the same day as surgery. Patients often report immediate improvement and experience a fast recovery. “My goal is to help patients get back to healthy and productive lives quickly,” Petersen noted. “Patients love how a fusion using the DTRAX system resolves their symptoms and how there’s just a tiny scar on the back of the neck. It’s a significant advancement in spinal surgery.” End
