Spinal decompression is a non-surgical medical treatment effective for chronic back pain. Spinal decompression therapy is effective for back pain caused by a damaged disc. In the spinal decompression process, with proper distraction and relaxation, the spinal disc is isolated and kept under negative pressure to cause a vacuum effect. The treatment helps to take off the pressure from the damaged disc, causing the disc bulge to shrink back to the normal size. Spinal decompression therapy is reported to have a success rate ranging from 71% - 90 %. Patients can feel reduction in pain, after the first few sessions of the treatment itself. There are fewer chances for side effects with spinal decompression therapy treatment.
