What is Spinal Decompression (Traction)?

Spinal decompression, also known as traction therapy, is a non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine and alleviate pain. This technique gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the spinal discs, promoting the retraction or repositioning of herniated or bulging discs.

At The Joint Physiotherapy, our skilled therapists use state-of-the-art equipment to perform spinal decompression, providing relief for various spinal conditions and enhancing overall spinal health.

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

Spinal decompression works by applying controlled traction to the spine, which creates space between the vertebrae and reduces pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. Here’s an overview of the key components of spinal decompression:

Assessment and Customization

Our therapists conduct a thorough assessment to determine the specific needs of your spine and develop a customized treatment plan.

Traction Application

Using advanced decompression equipment, we apply controlled traction to your spine. The equipment allows for precise adjustments to ensure optimal effectiveness and comfort.

Negative Pressure Creation

The traction creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging the retraction or repositioning of herniated or bulging discs.

Improved Blood Flow and Healing

Spinal decompression enhances blood flow to the affected areas, promoting the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and facilitating the healing process.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression
