Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for certain types of chronic neck and back pain. Mechanical Decompression works by slowly and gently stretching the spine, taking pressure off compressed discs and vertebrae. Spinal decompression is one of the most exciting medical treatments developed in many years since it demonstrates good statistical results for long term pain relief.

A spinal decompression therapy system consists of a split table that is programmed by a computer to provide cycling distractive forces along the axis of the cervical and lumbar spine. The intensity of intermittent force is increased gradually to help prevent muscles from contracting in reaction to being stretched. With proper positioning, traction can also be applied to an isolated spinal disc. Spinal decompression therapy is safe when used on properly selected patients and performed by a qualified clinician. Before receiving this treatment, a patient should get properly diagnosed by a qualified physician. An x-ray should be taken to rule out vertebral fractures, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, etc.
