Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a type of motorizes traction that can help relieve back and neck pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine that changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks, 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 in return, helps promote movement of the water, oxygen, and nutrients-rich fluid into the disks so they can heal. Doctors have used nonsurgical spinal decompression in an attempt to treat:

• Back or neck pain or sciatica which is pain, weakness and tingling that extends down the leg
• Bulging or herniated discs or degenerative disk disease
• Worn spinal joints (called posterior facet syndrome)
• Injured or diseased spinal nerve root
