Decompression treatment, such as spinal traction, releases pressure on the spine. It can be done manually or with the help of a machine.

Herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, and a variety of other back disorders are treated using spinal traction.

Spinal traction stretches the spine to take pressure off compressed discs. This straightens the spine and improves the body’s ability to heal itself.
People with spinal conditions often benefit from this treatment because of how effective it is in alleviating the pain of wear.
