What Is Decompression Therapy?
The mechanical spinal traction method of decompression chiropractic treatment involves gentle stretching of the spine. The treatment method decreases spinal disc pressure while enhancing nerve function and allowing natural disc healing through fluid movement. The decrease in spinal pressure leads to better movement ability and enhanced comfort levels and better overall life quality.

Spinal decompression is a type of mechanical spinal traction that gently stretches the spine. This takes pressure off the spinal discs, reduces pressure on the nerves and other structures in your back, and relief from back pain is achieved. This in turn, helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal. More importantly, the pain reduction allows for a greater range of motion, and drastically enhanced quality of life. Spinal decompression therapy helps relieve pressure along the spine and soothe related pain and discomfort.
