What Is Decompression Traction?
Decompression traction is a specialized table-based therapy that gently stretches the spine in a controlled way to reduce pressure on discs and irritated nerves. By creating a small amount of space between vertebrae, it can improve circulation to the disc and calm inflamed tissues. Sessions are typically about 20 minutes, with settings personalized to your comfort and imaging findings when available.
Who Benefits From Decompression Traction
If the source of your pain fits, this therapy can be a helpful addition to your care plan. After a thorough exam—and imaging when indicated—we’ll discuss whether traction is right for you. It’s commonly used for:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica or radicular arm/leg pain
- Stubborn neck or low back pain
- Facet joint irritation and stiffness
- Antalgic lean or “can’t stand up straight” posture
