Spinal Decompression/Traction

Balance in Motion Physical Therapy offers a revolutionary non-surgical treatment option called decompression therapy for those suffering from a herniated disc and/or pinched nerve in the back or neck. Decompression therapy is a painless, minimally-invasive treatment for the back or neck that facilitates healing and restores the normal functioning of the spine. With spinal decompression therapy, patients have a safe and comfortable way of treating back and neck pain associated with a number of common conditions.

We use 2 different spinal decompression units based on a patient’s condition.

Treatments can take up to 15 minutes and generally preceded by a combination of manual “hands-on” techniques to assist in pain relief, muscle relaxation and accelerated healing. Patients are also given the option to incorporate basic stretches to improve mobility and enhance their recovery.

Many patients with unrelenting neck or back pain who have not found relief through medication and other treatment options like physical therapy may be eligible for Decompression Therapy. Decompression therapy may also be an excellent option for patients with back and neck pain who have found no relief with other procedures.
