Many of the lower back problems I encounter in my physical therapy clinic are related to pressure.

Pressure on the discs in your back can lead to disc bulge and disc degeneration.

Pressure on your bones and joints can lead to arthritis.

Pressure on the nerves in your lower back can lead to nerve pain and sciatica.

One of the best ways to alleviate lower back pain and sciatic nerve symptoms is to take pressure off the structure that’s causing the pain. One of the best ways to do that is with traction or decompression.

WHAT IS DECOMPRESSION?

Lumbar decompression (or low back decompression) is a technique used by physical therapists and chiropractors to take pressure off the lower back and promote healing in the lumbar spine.

If you can take the vertebrae below and “pull it” away from the vertebrae above, you will create a negative pressure in that area that can alleviate a lot of pain/symptoms.

This technique is known as “decompression”, “disc decompression”, or “traction”, and can work wonders for your lower back pain.
