How does Spinal Decompression treatment differ from ordinary spinal traction?

Frequently Asked Questions
Traction can be helpful for reducing, but not reversing pressure within the disc. As a result, traditional traction cannot address the source of most disc problems. DRX True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression creates a negative pressure or suction effect inside the disc. This effect pulls back the herniated or protruding inner disc material toward the center of the disc where it belongs.
