Decompression Therapy

Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal.

Doctors use nonsurgical spinal decompression to treat:

​

• Back pain

• Neck pain

• Radicular pain, which is pain, numbness, or tingling into extremities

• Bulging or herniated discs 

• Degenerative disc / joint disease

• Worn spinal joints (called posterior facet syndrome)

• Injured or diseased spinal nerve roots
