Targeted Spinal Relief Starts Here
Spinal decompression therapy, also known as non-surgical spinal decompression, is a technique using a device to gently stretch the spine to relieve pressure on the discs and nerves. Decompression opens up the space, allowing the retraction or repositioning of the disc tissue to its intended position. This reduction in pressure improves mobility and function, reduces pain and stiffness and relieves numbness, tingling and sciatica symptoms.
Spinal decompression tables are specialized tables that use computer-controlled traction to gently create negative intradiscal pressure in the spine. The table has two parts which move independently of one another. During setup, a spinal decompression technician chooses a decompression program that is best suited to your needs. The right program will depend on your diagnosis as well as how you have responded to previous treatments.

- Increased back or neck pain first thing in the morning that eases after the first hour or two
