Traction and inversion tables can help but don’t get to the root of the problem like Spinal Decompression Therapy tables. Most back pain sufferers have a process that develops over time. Trauma to the muscles, vertebrae or discs occurs either by small microtraumas or actual injuries producing joint stiffness. The joint stiffness leads to disc dehydration which is termed degenerative disc disease causing the disc to crack and then tears can develop producing bulges or herniations.

Answer:No, Decompression Therapy is a decompression procedure and produces a vacuum like effect within the disc, while traction does not. Traction only stretches muscles. Answer:No, in fact most people notice a reduction of pain during treatment. Some even sleep during treatment.

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.

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a proven safe and effective means to treat severe and chronic cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) conditions. The program consists of FDA-registered non-surgical Spinal Decompression equipment focusing on discal and arthritic conditions affecting the spine.
