Spinal Decompression Therapy involves stretching the spine with the use of a harness, and a traction table. It is mainly used to relieve lower back pain. The machine gently stretches the spine. This movement changes the force and pressure of the spinal discs and creates a negative force (vaccum) between the gel-like cushions present in between these discs. This movement promotes the flow of water, oxygen, and other nutrient-rich fluids between the discs. This helps the spine to heal. This non-surgical procedure is an attempt to heal back pain that tingles down the legs, bulging disks, injured spine, etc. Spinal Decompression Therapy is done on a motorized table. The upper half of the patient’s body remains fixed, while the lower half is moved when the mechanised table is activated by a highly specialized computer.
