A Non-Invasive Solution for Chronic Back Pain at Pacific Physiotherapy in Guelph, Mississauga, & Hamilton
Our state-of-the-art traction machine employs a gentle stretching motion to administer spinal decompression. It is a viable alternative for chronic back pain treatment without resorting to surgery. This stretching motion effectively alters the force and orientation of the spine.
The transformation induces a counter-pressure within the spinal discs, relieving stress and pressure. This process facilitates improved oxygen and nutrient flow to the discs, promoting their healing.

FAQs Spinal Decompression
What is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment technique that relieves pressure on spinal nerves and reduces symptoms of herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. It involves gentle spine stretching to create negative pressure within the discs, allowing bulging or herniated material to retract and promoting the movement of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the discs.
What conditions can spinal decompression treat?
Spinal decompression treats spinal nerve compression conditions like herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, facet joint syndrome, and sciatica. It alleviates symptoms like back pain, neck pain, radiating arm or leg pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness.
Is spinal decompression safe?
Spinal decompression is safe and well-tolerated when performed by a trained, qualified healthcare professional. It is non-invasive with minimal risks and side effects, but it may not be suitable for patients with spinal fractures, severe osteoporosis, spinal instability, or pregnancy.
