Decompression Blog

Traditional treatments for back and spine problems include surgery or chiropractic adjustment. Spinal Decompression Therapy is an alternative FDA-approved treatment option that has shown very good results. It provides gentle decompression of the disc through the use of a decompression table that applies a distraction force to the targeted area of the spine (the compressed disc). A computer controls the distraction force which is applied in between periods of relaxation. This gently elongates the spine, creating a small vacuum between the vertebrae which then helps pull the disc back into shape.
