What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction used to relieve back and neck pain. It works by gently stretching the spine, which changes the force and position of the vertebrae and takes pressure off the spinal discs — the gel-like cushions between the bones of your spine.
This stretching creates negative pressure inside the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated discs may retract, relieving pressure on nearby nerves and other structures. The reduced pressure also helps draw water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluid into the discs, supporting their natural healing. It’s a safe, non-invasive alternative to surgery for many causes of spinal pain.
What is Spinal Decompression?
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
