FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your questions answered about spine and neck decompression therapy.

Is spinal decompression safe?

Yes, spinal decompression is considered very safe when performed under the guidance of a trained chiropractor. Our Back On Trac system is FDA-cleared and designed to provide gentle, controlled traction without twisting or high-force movements. Most patients find it relaxing and experience significant relief without pain or discomfort.

How does Back on trac work?

The Back On Trac system provides a modern approach to traditional spinal decompression. Unlike older traction devices, there are no straps, belts, or restraints. Instead, you simply recline comfortably as the table gently stretches and relaxes the spine through a series of safe, automated movements. This process helps relieve pressure on the spinal discs, improve joint mobility, and promote better nervous system communication — a key part of your overall health and function.

What conditions back decompression therapy help with?

Spinal decompression is ideal for conditions such as herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, chronic lower back pain, degenerative disc disease, spinal arthritis, and postural compression. When combined with chiropractic care, it helps restore mobility and reduce inflammation for long-term relief.

What conditions neck decompression therapy help with?

Neck decompression can help reduce tension, improve posture, and relieve pain from conditions like bulging or herniated discs, pinched nerves, whiplash and auto accident injuries, tech neck and postural strain, chronic tension headaches, and more. 

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition and your response to care. Many patients notice improvement after just a few visits, while chronic or long-standing issues may require a series of treatments for the best results. During your evaluation, we’ll create a customized plan based on your needs and goals.

How long does a spinal decompression session take?

A typical spinal decompression session on our Back On Trac system lasts less than 15 minutes, making it considerably shorter than many alternative therapies such as lengthy physical therapy sessions or traction treatments that require setup with belts and restraints. Despite the short duration, the session delivers powerful, targeted relief through controlled traction, gentle movement, and relaxation features. This efficiency allows patients to experience meaningful results without taking large amounts of time out of their day — making it easy to fit care into a busy schedule.
