How it works
Inside a spinal decompression session.
Precise segmental setup
We position the table to target the specific spinal segment causing your symptoms, in the cervical or lumbar spine.
Cyclical traction
The table applies a programmed pulling force that eases on and off, avoiding muscle guarding.
Rehydrate the disc
Negative pressure draws fluid, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc while relieving nerve compression.
Consolidate the change
We pair sessions with adjustments and rehab drills so the segment holds its new position between visits.
