Traction and non-surgical spinal decompression helps distract specific regions of the spine. This treatment gently separates the vertebrae resulting in disc decompression, reduced nerve root pressure, and less pain.
A specific instrument and table will create a negative pressure inside the involved disc, allowing it to absorb fluid and nutrients in order to facilitate healing and decrease inflammation. This non-surgical procedure is aimed at treating disc bulges, herniations, and degenerative disc disease in the neck and lumbar spine. The treatment is very gentle and you will experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which progresses to a deeper decompression over a period of several minutes.
Spinal decompression and traction is best for pinched nerves, sciatica, shooting radiating pain into the arms or legs, spinal arthritis and degeneration, spinal stenosis, neck or low back pain, or postoperative complications.
