We regularly get unsolicited calls, letters and emails from patients who have tried and love our DDS Decompression Belts.  Here are some comments from recent users:

I have lost 3” in height in the last decade due to degenerating discs, and I was in constant pain.  I took pain medications everyday to just get through the day. I purchased my first DDS brace and I have to say I loved it from the first day.  It is remarkably comfortable and inconspicuous under clothing.  I am able to attain a more correct posture pain free (shoulders back, chest out, straight spine… etc) for the first time in a long time!  I am now able to do my favorite activity again – hike the rocky mountains with my dogs!      Love love love your product.

Before getting my DDS brace I could hardly walk-drive; I was only able to walk with a walker and cane and on oxytocin hydrophodien regularly.  The DDS Decompression Brace has allowed me to do things I couldn’t do 2 years ago.  Since then my Pain meds were cut in half. Thanks again for the relief the DDS brace has given me.

I’ve had my brace since NOV. 24, 2012 and my DDS lumbar support belt has truly been a blessing.  Since I’ve been wearing it I have not had to get cortisone injections to relieve the pain in my back thigh/leg. I can really see the difference when I don’t wear it daily from now on.  The brace supports greatly with prolonged sitting / standing.  Ordering it was one of best decision I’ve made.  When we travel to Eastman Georgia approx a 13 drive it gives me all the comforting support.   Thank you for this great product.

This belt has made my life 100% easier. Before this belt I could not even bend to put my pants on.  Since I started using my DDS belt things got easier. One word for this belt “Awesome.” It’s just great.   I never leave home without it and if I am going away this is the just thing I am packing.  Thanks to my dear Doctor Leyton and the great hands who made this belt.   Thanks DDS, Inc.

Stretch.  Stretching is important because sometimes the pain comes from the muscles themselves. As we get older, our muscles tend to stiffen up more. When a stiff muscle is suddenly asked to work, it can cause pain. If the muscle is gently stretched, it becomes more ready to work. Stretch gently, without bouncing. If you are not used to stretching, start by holding a stretch for a short time. Gradually build up to roughly 30-second stretches.

Strengthening.  The muscles of the upper legs also need to be strong and flexible. When they are weak and tight, they can strain the supporting structures of the back.   Your abdominal and buttock muscles are equally important. Together, these muscles help maintain an upright posture and support the back during walking, standing and sitting.

Mind your posture.  Good posture allows for the least amount of strain to be placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities.  Your spine is strong and stable when you practice healthy posture. But when you slouch, your muscles and ligaments struggle to keep you balanced causing back pain.

Weight Control.  Additional weight puts a strain on your back and can cause back pain.  Keep within 10 lbs. of your ideal weight for a healthier back.

Quit Smoking.  Smokers are more prone to back pain than nonsmokers because nicotine restricts the flow of blood to the discs that cushion your vertebrae. 

If you're currently experiencing low back pain and you're in too much discomfort to even stretch or do strengthening exercises we urge you to look in to our Decompression Belt.  The DDS Spinal-Air Lumbar Decompression Belt can provide the pain relief you need in order to return to your daily activities.  Our Decompression Belt is flexible when fully inflated and does NOT promote muscle atrophy.  Many use the Brace in conjunction with their physical therapy, yoga and Chiropractor visits. 

The DDS Spinal Air Lumbar Decompression Belt is an effective, noninvasive and simple-to-use solution for those seeking treatment for low back pain.  Our Lumbar Braces are ambulatory, they have a 100% soft cotton lining, they are all machine washable and they can be worn discreetly under clothing.

There have been numerous studies conducted including case reports, clinical trials and MRI's proving the efficacy of our Lumbar Decompression Belts, drastically improving those with low back pain.

Our Decompression Belts are Medicare approved and are covered by most private insurances as well.  

The function of the DDS 500 is scientific, precise and very simple. Spinal traction is being created as the brace is being inflated. The vertical air cell expansion mechanism decreases the axial loading while increasing the intervertebral disc space by anchoring up underneath the rib cage pushing upwards, and down against the pelvic girdle pushing downwards. This action gently stretches the torso vertically, diverting the weight bearing forces away from the discs and reducing the pressure within the lumbar spine region, significantly reducing pain levels while assisting active-rehabilitation. The DDS 500 is the perfect solution for patients who cannot tolerate the discomfort of a rigid body jacket yet require similar support. It is especially valuable for pre and post surgery, providing with equal stability as a stiff body jacket. As the patient progresses and requires less support, the detachable rigid panels can be removed to create a semi-rigid support with one or no support panels. It easily converts to a soft LSO and provides greater flexibility.
