Anyone have experience with spinal decompression?

Posted by ichbindck @ichbindck, Dec 6, 2024

I have tried just about everything with constant back pain from spinal stenosis. A spinal decompression machine is designed to
stretch and lengthen the spine, reversing the effects of natural aging and spine compression. Has anyone tried this and what are results?

I am doing this at a medical facility under direction of a doctor and a physical therapist on a commercial machine. Theory is this non-invasive, non-surgical pain relief therapy gently separates discs, creating negative pressure, which draws in water, oxygen, and nutrients.

@beth4345 only if your neuropathy is caused by pinched nerves, like a sciatica , or something similar. I use decompression, (they should call it ( traction decompression) it will relieve my sciatica and spine troubles, but I don't see a differance in my feet. The only thing that helps me is suupliments (r-lipoic acid mainly)
