How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works
Spinal decompression therapy uses a motorized traction table to gently stretch your spine. This movement creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and relieve nerve compression. The improved circulation brings nutrients and oxygen back to the spine, promoting natural healing.
At Texas Back Relief, we customize each session based on your pain level and spinal condition. It’s a comfortable and controlled process supervised by our experienced team.
