How is spinal decompression different from traction?
Spinal Decompression is fundamentally different from traction. Traction only stretches the spine and has shown little clinical benefit. Traction can actually damage worn spinal discs. Spinal Decompression is a computerized therapy in which logarithmic forces of negative pressure are applied to the spinal disc, thereby retracting bulging or ruptured disc material. This negative pressure is the key to stopping the pain and allowing the disc to heal.
