Nonsurgical spinal decompression helps relieve back pain by stretching the spine allowing for reduced pressure within the disc while increasing the volume aiding in rehydrating degenerative discs and reducing pressure on the spinal cord from lesions like disc herniations and bulges. The goal of spinal decompression is to take pressure off the spinal discs, which can help take pressure off nerves and vertebrae. Spinal decompression promotes movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluid so that the discs may heal.
