How Spinal Decompression Works

Spinal decompression is a highly effective, non-surgical solution for many types of pain and discomfort. Spinal decompression is especially effective in treating pain caused by disc herniation (or bulging disc), degenerative discs, and posterior facet syndromes. Spinal decompression works by gently taking pressure off of the spinal discs, creating a negative force (suction into the disc) that pulls water, oxygen, and other nutrients back into the disc. By reversing the forces of gravity, spinal decompression reverses the damage to the discs by providing the nutrients required for healing and long-term pain.
