Decompression table

An effective non-drug method of treatment and rehabilitation of spinal diseases, which works on the principle of controlled stretching (decompression). The procedure is aimed at reducing pressure on the intervertebral discs and nerve roots, which is a common cause of pain.

When is a decompression table used?

intervertebral hernias and protrusions
osteochondrosis
radiculitis, radicular syndrome
chronic back and neck pain
nerve root compression
muscle-tonic syndrome

How does a decompression table work?

During the procedure, a gentle and dosed stretching of the spine occurs, which allows:

reduce pressure on the intervertebral discs
reduce nerve compression
improve blood circulation and tissue nutrition
reduce pain and muscle spasm
create conditions for disk recovery

Treatment on a decompression table in a rehabilitation center

The procedure is carried out under the supervision of a specialist and is part of comprehensive rehabilitation:

Individual parameter settings — force, angle and duration of pulling
Combination with physiotherapy — to reduce pain and inflammation
Combination with exercise therapy — to stabilize the result and strengthen muscles
Safe and comfortable mode — without sudden movements and overload

💡 Treatment result — pain reduction, reduced nerve compression, improved spinal mobility and overall well-being.

Questions and answers

What is spinal decompression and traction therapy?

Spinal decompression and traction therapy is a method of controlled stretching that is used to reduce mechanical stress on individual spinal structures when indicated. This approach may be considered for pain, compression, tension, or symptoms of nerve irritation, but only after a preliminary assessment. It is important not to perceive traction as a universal “disc treatment”: the effect depends on the diagnosis, symptoms, procedure regimen, contraindications, and combination with rehabilitation. At KINEZIUM, complaints, mobility, neurological manifestations, previous examinations, and a safe load regimen are assessed before the procedure.

Who needs spinal traction?

Spinal traction may be considered for patients with pain, muscle tension, limited mobility, or symptoms of nerve irritation. For example, in the case of cervical discomfort radiating to the arm or low back pain with a feeling of compression, the specialist first assesses whether traction is indicated. If symptoms are acute, progressive, or accompanied by weakness, traction should not be initiated without medical evaluation.

Situation	When traction may be considered
Neck pain	If there is mobility restriction or symptoms of nerve irritation after evaluation
Backache	When it is necessary to carefully reduce mechanical load according to indications
Radiation to the arm or leg	Only after checking strength, sensation, and neurological symptoms
Muscle tension	As an auxiliary method, if there are no contraindications
Traffic restrictions	When the procedure is combined with exercises and load control
Chronic symptoms	If traction is part of a comprehensive program, not the only method

What is included in the decompression table procedure?

The procedure on the decompression table includes patient preparation, body position adjustment, traction force control, duration of exposure, and post-session recommendations. The specialist clarifies whether there is pain, numbness, weakness, dizziness, previous surgeries, instability, or other limitations. During the procedure, it is important to monitor the sensations: traction should not cause sharp pain, increased numbness, or weakness.

Stage of the procedure	What's happening?	What is this for?
Pre-procedure assessment	Clarifying complaints, examinations, contraindications	To determine if traction is safe
Position on the table	Choose a comfortable position	To reduce unnecessary stress
Force setting	Determine the extraction mode	So that the impact is controlled, not aggressive
Sensation control	The patient reports pain, numbness, discomfort	To change or stop the procedure in time
Recommendations after	Explains activity, limitations, and next steps	So that the procedure fits into the rehabilitation plan

How is cervical spine traction chosen?

Cervical traction is chosen after assessing symptoms, pain location, neck range of motion, sensation, arm strength, headache, dizziness, and possible neurological manifestations. If pain radiates to the arm, it is important to assess for signs of cervical radiculopathy and progressive weakness. The traction regimen should be gentle and controlled: force, angle, and duration are individually adjusted. After the procedure, it is imperative to assess for any changes in pain, numbness, range of motion, or general well-being.

The NCBI Bookshelf article “Cervical Traction” describes cervical traction as a noninvasive procedure for symptomatic relief of various cervical pathologies, but also notes that data on long-term efficacy and safety are limited: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470412/. A PubMed study “Cervical traction therapy with and without neck support” shows that the way the neck is supported can affect the load on the posterior structures of the cervical spine, so technique matters: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28171773/. A PubMed Central review of cervical traction for headache and radiculopathy demonstrates that traction is being studied in conjunction with conventional therapy, rather than as an isolated, universal method: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11515553/. Practical conclusion: traction should be selected carefully and combined with an assessment of neurological safety.

What contraindications are important to consider before traction therapy?

Before traction therapy, it is important to consider acute trauma, spinal instability, severe or progressive neurological symptoms, osteoporosis, tumor or infectious processes, postoperative contraindications, vascular risks, severe dizziness or a sharp deterioration in the condition. If numbness, weakness, pain in the arm or leg increases during or after traction, the procedure should be stopped and a medical evaluation should be performed. Traction should not be used as a “forced traction” without diagnosis.

The NCBI Bookshelf article “Cervical Traction” lists the importance of evaluating indications, contraindications, and technique, as well as the role of the interprofessional team in applying traction: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470412/. MedlinePlus, in its article on acute low back pain, highlights dangerous symptoms that require medical evaluation, including pain after an injury, night pain, fever, pain below the knee, and loss of bladder or bowel control: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/007425.htm. The Mayo Clinic describes the neurological manifestations of cervical spondylosis, including weakness, numbness, and impaired coordination and gait: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cervical-spondylosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20370787. Therefore, traction therapy should only be started after checking the risks.
