Spinal Decompression treatments work by gently stretching the spine to take the pressure off the spinal discs and relieve pressure on the nerves.

How does it change my spine?
Spinal decompression
Works by gently stretching the spine to change the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disc which in turn helps the body heal.
Vibration Therapy
The major barrier to decompress the disc is the tight muscles around the disc. Vibration therapy targets those tight muscles forcing them into a relaxed state thus allowing for better results in a faster time frame.
Gravitational Traction
Elevates the patients feet above their head ( maximum of 30 degrees) with the purpose of intensifying the decompressive force again resulting in more comprehensive stretch to the spine. This is done to patient tolerance , not used on patients with blood pressure issues or patients that can’t tolerate
