Spinal Decompression/Traction

Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. This changes the strength and position of the spine. This change relieves pressure on the discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones of the spine, by creating negative pressure on the disc.

Traction means pulling on a body part. In most cases, traction uses devices such as weights and rollers to repair a displaced bone or joint, such as an ankle. a dislocated shoulder to stretch. The tension helps reposition the joint and keep it still.
