Spinal Traction or Decompression
Do you suffer from chronic neck and back pain from an injury, medical condition, or illness? Do you have nagging pain and tension in your neck and/or back from an old injury? Nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy is an effective solution for relieving pressure on the spine, which can alleviate pain and discomfort. By applying gentle, yet forceful, spinal traction using a motorized traction unit, your chiropractor can stretch your spine to remove pressure from the discs in the spine (gel-like, shock-absorbing cushions located between the spinal vertebrae).

What Is Spinal Traction?
Spinal decompression therapy involves the use of a traction unit to stretch the spinal column and supporting soft tissues. Stretching the spine in such a way removes pressure from the spinal discs, alleviating bulging or herniated discs, reducing pressure on the spinal nerves, and encouraging healthy circulation. The gentle distractive forces of the Spinal Decompression create a decompression of the spine with unloading due to distraction and proper positioning, to improve blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. You'll experience several cycles of stretch and relaxation, which graduates to a peak over a period of several minutes.
Why Might I Need Spinal Traction?

They will create a treatment plan for you based on their exam and by talking to you about your symptoms. Spinal decompression is most often recommended in cases where discs are involved, but it can also be effective for other causes of back pain, such as sciatica.
