Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that uses gentle, mechanical traction to slowly stretch the spine and relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. It creates a decompression effect that improves blood flow and nutrient exchange to the injured area. It is effective for herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, neuropathy, and pinched nerves. Patients experience gradual cycles of stretch and relaxation — many find it relaxing enough to fall asleep during treatment.
