Spinal Decompression Therapy

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy uses a mechanical traction table to apply controlled pulling and releasing forces to selected areas of the spine. It may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan for certain patients with neck or back pain.

Before treatment, your Max Rehabilitation Center therapist will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and suitability for traction. If appropriate, the therapist will select the position, force, and duration and monitor your response.

Treatment aims to support symptom management and functional improvement. Results vary, and your therapist will explain how traction fits into your overall rehabilitation plan.
