What is spinal decompression therapy?

Illustration of the neck and upper spineSpinal decompression is a form of traction that uses computer-controlled equipment to apply measured stretching forces to the spine. It builds on traditional traction methods, with equipment that allows the clinician to adjust treatment settings.

Discuss your symptoms

If you have one of the following diagnoses or concerns, ask the clinician about suitable care options:
  • Bulging or herniated discs
  • Degenerative disc changes
  • Sciatica or pinched nerves
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Arthritis affecting the spine
  • Restricted spinal movement (hypomobility)

A diagnosis alone does not determine whether decompression is suitable. Discuss the evidence, potential benefits, risks and alternatives with your clinician.

How does spinal decompression work?

Illustration highlighting the lower spine The equipment applies controlled traction to the spine. The force and timing of the traction can be adjusted. Ask your clinician how the treatment is intended to address your symptoms and what outcomes are realistic for your condition. Results vary, and pain relief cannot be guaranteed.
