Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is a safe, drug free treatment that works by gently lengthening and releasing the spine.  This motion creates a negative pressure within the disc.  As a result, a vacuum is formed that pulls herniated disc material back into the disc space thus reducing pressure and irritation on the nerves and surrounding soft tissue.  Nutrients, oxygen, and fluids are pulled back into the disc which allows the body to repair the injured tissue.
