Spinal decompression therapy is a highly effective non-surgical treatment for individuals suffering from back and neck pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. Using advanced traction machines, this therapy gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on compressed discs and nerves.
If you’re experiencing chronic back pain, nerve impingement, or reduced mobility, spinal decompression therapy may be the solution you need.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a specialized form of traction therapy designed to create space between the vertebrae, reducing pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This technique promotes better circulation, encourages disc rehydration, and aids in healing.
It is commonly performed using a traction machine, which applies controlled mechanical force to stretch the spine safely and effectively.
How Does a Traction Machine Work?
A spinal decompression machine uses a motorized traction system to gently pull and release the spine in a controlled manner. This repetitive motion:
✔ Reduces pressure on spinal discs by creating negative pressure (vacuum effect)
✔ Encourages nutrients and oxygen flow to aid disc repair
✔ Relieves nerve compression associated with conditions like sciatica and radiculopathy
✔ Improves flexibility and spinal alignment
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression Therapy
🔹 Herniated or Bulging Discs – Helps reposition and rehydrate the discs
🔹 Sciatica – Relieves nerve pain radiating down the legs
🔹 Degenerative Disc Disease – Slows degeneration by improving disc health
🔹 Spinal Stenosis – Reduces pressure on compressed nerves
🔹 Facet Joint Syndrome – Alleviates stiffness and inflammation in spinal joints
🔹 Chronic Lower Back and Neck Pain – Provides long-term relief without surgery
