Decompression Therapy
- One type of conservative procedure used in the
treatment of low back pain applies flexion and traction
motions to the lumbar spine.
- As the vertebrae in the spine are distracted, a negative
pressure develops in the disc, and sucks back a protrusion.
The present study shows that the decrease in the
intradiscal pressures may provide the opportunity for the
reduction in the disc bulge during the
flexion-decompression procedure.
