The Theory Behind Spinal Decompression

  • forces are applied to the spine
  • spinal elongation where paraspinal muscles are relaxed
  • applied spinal decompressive forces spread apart the bony vertebra of the spine
  • relieves pressure on nerves and intervertebral discs
  • pressure drops within the disc
  • facilitates movement of fluid, carrying nutrients and oxygen inside the disc
  • the reduction in pressure can help draw in herniated disc fluids
