Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive.  It is a kind of motorized traction that gradually and very gently stretches a person's spine.  This therapy is used to remove pressure from the spinal disks in the back.  When spinal decompression is done properly, the disks can receive oxygen, water, and go on to heal from their current condition.
