Vertebral axial decompression therapy is an alternative, conservative and noninvasive procedure of applying axial traction to the spine. Decompression traction is used in the treatment of several conditions including low back or neck pain associated with: disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome and sciatica.

Advantages to Receiving Traction Decompression Therapy

The greatest benefits of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy are that it is a non-invasive, drug-free alternative treatment that has been proven effective with a wide variety of patients. The procedure is relatively painless and usually provides immediate pain relief to those with debilitating back or neck pain. The relief of pressure can also help to naturally heal the discs and nerves found in the spinal column. Spinal decompression not only restores your body’s spinal alignment but it restores overall health to your spine. Being that a correctly aligned, fully stretched and hydrated spine is essential for overall back health, spinal decompression is necessary in order to help return the spine back to or bring it close to its original state before the pain or injury took place.

Whether it is sitting comfortably at work or school, performing your daily rituals and tasks, keeping physically fit and active, or playing with your children or grandchildren, spinal decompression will relieve the chronic pain you feel and get you back to living your life.
