 Treating Back Pain without Surgery - Non Operative Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal Decompression Therapy or Vertebral axial decompression is a form of spinal traction that is

widely promoted as an effective and safe treatment of degenerated and herniated lumbar intervertebral

disc.

Spinal traction is not decompression

Spinal decompression is the progressive logarithmic computer application of force that overcomes the

patients muscle contraction, it produce decompression, reduction, and stabilization of the lumbar

spine. Spinal traction or lumbar traction is pulling a patient in opposite directions in the lumbar spine

with a set of cables.

How decompression therapy works

In principle, decompression works by alternately stretching and relaxing the lower spine, thereby

relieving pressure on inter vertebral disc which pressing the sciatic nerve root that cause low back pain

and sciatica.

That lumbar intervertebral disc is always under positive pressure, even at rest. Spinal decompression

therapy lowers that pressure to negative levels by creating a partial vacuum that can retract the disk.

Spinal Decompression Therapy most useful for

Spinal Decompression Therapy is an innovative non operative treatment for chronic lower back pain relief

from
