What Decompression Therapy Does
Decompression therapy helps relieve pressure on the spine and discs through gentle stretching. This therapy creates space between the vertebrae, allowing nutrients, oxygen, and fluids to flow into the discs, promoting healing. Effective for back pain, sciatica, and various spinal conditions, decompression therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
How Decompression Therapy Works
Decompression therapy works by gently stretching the spine, reducing pressure on spinal discs, nerve roots, and surrounding tissues. Negative pressure forms in the affected area, which:
- Restores the natural curvature of the spine.
- Relieves nerve compression.
- Encourages hydration of spinal discs.
- Promotes healing and reduces inflammation.
- This process involves specialized equipment like mechanical traction systems, which gradually and precisely stretch the spine.
