Yes. When compared to other forms of treatment for severe neck and lower back conditions which are invasive, such as epidural injections and/or spinal surgery, non-surgical spinal decompression has an impressive safety profile. Non-surgical spinal decompression is non-invasive; therefore there is no risk of infection. Since there is no removal of any tissue, there is no risk of permanent damage to tissues surrounding the spine causing formation of scar tissue (the “bad guy” in many spinal problems). Non-surgical spinal decompression has an FDA 510 K license and all decompression machines have the same FDA approved uses including dynamic stretching of the spine using protocols of positioning, force, and cycling.
