That relieves a lot of the discomfort you feel along your spine. Enhanced blood flow from this treatment also offers benefits.

Your chiropractor uses a decompression table to perform the stretches. Some tables apply to cable and pulley systems, while others are structured for built-in traction. A computer program manages the traction levels, while your chiropractor oversees the therapy.
