What Is Spinal Decompression? A Non-Surgical Treatment Explained
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that uses a specialized table to gently stretch the spine. At Spinal Connection Rehab & Wellness Center in North Miami Beach, it may be recommended for certain spinal conditions after an evaluation.
How spinal decompression works
A motorized table applies gentle, controlled traction to the spine. The goal is to reduce pressure on spinal structures. It is a non-surgical approach, and candidacy depends on your specific condition and history.
