Yes!  There are no belts or restraints required.  Many pregnant women are very happy and benefit from Back On Trac which helps relieve their back pain.

Is There Research on Decompression Therapy? 

Multiple studies demonstrate that spinal decompression can reduce pressure inside the spinal disc, improve blood flow to affected areas, which brings more oxygen, water, and nutrients to the tissues and facilitates natural healing. 

Can I combine this with other treatments? 

Yes. Spinal decompression works well with chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage therapy.

Why is it effective? 

It helps relieve pain by reducing pressure on spinal discs and nerves, increases movement of spine joints, strengthens underlying  core spine musculature, and improves circulation to the tissues allowing diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the disc. 

Reducing pain and increasing mobility allows our patients to get their life back and start doing the things they love to do again!
