Neck and back pains are the cause of discomfort for many people all around the world. There are dozens of reasons behind these types of pain, from muscle tension and strains to spinal deformity, injuries, and acute conditions such as sciatica or herniated disks. However, poor posture and muscle deterioration due to the prevailing sedentary lifestyle are probably the primary cause for neck and back pain. How can spinal decompression help?

Spinal decompression is a type of traction therapy aimed at stretching the spine to release the pressure of the nerves. It is performed on a special motorized table with the patient lying down in a secured position. Changing the force and the positioning of the spine takes the pressure off spinal discs, nerves, and other surrounding tissues. The treatment session lasts anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the targeted spinal area.

The effects of a single session could lead to a pain decrease and improvement of flexibility and relaxation of the neck and back area. Still, spinal decompression cannot perform miracles on its own, and a change of lifestyle is needed to achieve long-term results.
