Decompression is a powerful modality for treating back pain

In cases of severe spinal injury, in which the back pain is excruciating and omnipresent, surgical decompression therapy is used to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

Nonsurgical decompression, on the other hand, is a form of motorized traction that changes the position of the spine to alleviate pressure in the spinal discs.

• Herniated discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Facet joint syndrome
