Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to change pressure around spinal discs and nerve roots. It is not appropriate for every patient, so the first step is an evaluation to determine whether it fits your condition and goals.

The patient is positioned on a specialized table with supportive padding and straps. The system applies clinician-selected distraction with partial-relaxation cycles while the team monitors comfort and response.
The examination helps determine whether decompression may fit disc-related neck or lower-back discomfort, sciatica-type symptoms, or selected numbness and tingling. Other care or referral may be more appropriate.
