Spinal Decompression Nonsurgical spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. Thi

This simple lumbar decompression technique helps create space in your lower spine, easing pressure on irritated discs and nerves. It can help relieve symptoms of a herniated disc such as low back pain, sharp radiating pain down the leg, numbness, tingling, and muscle tightness. By gently unloading your lumbar joints, it allows the disc to rehydrate and your nerves to calm down. Do this slowly, focus on your breathing, and let your spine relax as gravity does the work.
