## Indications for use
The Model D - Disc Force provides a program of traction type treatments for relief from pain for patients suffering with low back pain and neck pain. Each treatment consists of a physician prescribed treatment period on the Model D - Disc Force and is designed to provide static, intermittent, and cycling distraction forces to relieve pressures on structures that may be causing low back or neck pain. Conditions that may be treated include neck and back pain associated with herniated discs, protruding discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, and sciatica. It achieves these effects through decompression of inter-vertebral discs, that is, unloading due to distraction and positioning.
