Spinal Decompression

 

Spinal decompression is a type of traction therapy applied to the spine in an attempt to bring about several theoretical benefits including:

 

• Create a negative intradiscal pressure to promote retraction or repositioning of the herniated or bulging disc material.

 

• Create a lower pressure in the disc that will cause an influx of healing nutrients and other substances into the disc.
