What Is Spinal Decompression?
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a form of motorized traction that gently stretches targeted areas of the spine.
During treatment, controlled traction creates changes in pressure within the spine. This may help reduce stress on spinal discs, joints, and surrounding structures while providing a more comfortable environment for movement and recovery.
Spinal decompression does not involve surgery, injections, or incisions.
