Joint Pain

DCT™ works to improve blood flow and blood circulation to the joints

The joints of the body generally have poor blood circulation to begin with (which causes problems such as arthritis). Because of the need for joints to be able to open and close, or twist and turn arteries and veins can not, by necessity, be abundant in those areas. If they were then every time you bent your knees and hips to sit in a chair the blood flow through your body would get pinched off and stop.

As such the main pathways for blood circulation run through your muscles and send little branches off to feed the joints. This works great, until you throw muscle tension and fascial tension into the picture. If tension builds in a muscle it can begin to squeeze on the arteries and veins that run through it. The best way to visualize this is with a garden hose analogy.

If you happen to be in your back yard watering your garden and your neighbor walked by and decided to step on your garden hose you can imagine that the flow of water would slow down and eventually stop, leaving your plants to starve to death. This is exactly what happens in the body. As tension forms blood circulation slows, and the joints which are already limited in their blood supply starve for lack of oxygen and nutrients which in turn causes degeneration and pain.

By removing tension with DCT™ we can increase blood circulation to the joints. With greater blood circulation there is more synovial fluid produced keeping the joints lubricated and moving freely.
