Decompression therapy
Spinal Decompression
Spinal traction therapy is one of the oldest forms of treatment for disc herniations, sprains, and strains of the neck and low back. We are truly blessed to have a state-of-the-art non-surgical spinal decompression unit at our office in Kingston. This advanced machine applies a precise amount of traction on the spine, effectively releasing compression caused by everyday life. The traction generates negative pressure within the vertebrae, allowing nutrition and fluid to be drawn back into the disc for many of our patients.
Here is a more in-depth explanation that enhances our understanding. Non-surgical spinal decompression was founded on the principles of spinal traction therapy, applying similar methods. However, based on our research and 15 years of clinical experience, we find that straight traction works best for our patient population. The explanation of how it helps retract the disc in this article applies to both methods.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a revolutionary technology primarily used to treat disc injuries in the neck and low back. This treatment option is very safe and employs FDA-cleared equipment to apply distraction forces to spinal structures in a precise and graduated manner. Distraction is balanced by cycles of partial relaxation. This spinal decompression therapy technique has demonstrated the ability to gently separate the vertebrae, creating a vacuum inside the targeted discs, known as the
