Spinal Decompression Therapy consists of a series of sessions that begins with an evaluation to ensure that the patient is a good candidate for spinal decompression. In each session, the patient lies comfortably on the spinal decompression table. Multiple cycles of decompression and relaxation commence, promoting the diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrient rich fluids into the discs. The patient should begin to experience some pain relief after a few sessions as the water, oxygen, and nutrient rich fluids begin to contribute to the injured discs' healing process. Healing is accomplished by creating negative pressure to ease the disc material into a more optimal location. With degenerated discs, the "no rest" treatment gently stretches the ligaments to provide more room for the nerves.  Many patients sleep during their sessions and even feel taller when they get up.
