Spinal decompression traction is a non-surgical, comfortable axial traction for the relief of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain. During this procedure, by cycling through distraction and relaxation phases and by proper positioning, a spinal disc can be isolated and placed under negative pressure, causing a vacuum effect within the disc which results in pain reduction and improved function at the injured site.
