Back pain treatment utilizing spinal decompression has been previously discussed. I was able to find this video that does an excellent job of describing the process for disc herniation, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.
Although the video is essentially an infomercial for a particular brand of table, the information is accurate and should answer your questions about back pain treatment utilizing spinal decompression.
As always, spinal decompression, like all passive forms of back pain treatment, WILL NOT provide long term back pain relief. Active rehabilitation is the only scientifically proven method of rehabilitating back pain. For a more detailed explanation of active rehabilitation go to Erase Your Back Pain.
I welcome your questions and comments and promise to personally answer each one.

Hi Malton. Firstly, I just wanted to let anyone reading know that I tried finding a clinic that had a decompression table in the UK about 6 months ago and couldnt find any. Perhaps the situation is different now but it seems as thought this technology is taking its time to go across the pond. Secondly, I wanted to thank you for the exercises you prescribed as the first weeks treatment program to correct my high and forward pelvis syndrome before correcting my neck. The lower back pain has gone and I am already standing straighter than before. Big thanks!
Malton, Does an inversion table perform the same task?
Hello
Im andres and i been feeling pain along my left leg for about a month, i went to the doc who took me a x ray. which one didnt show anything. yesterday i was so worried becauce i felt the pain in my left leg untill my calf muscle. the pain is like needles . i feel like a nerv is trap or something. anyway after i went to the doc who didnt find anything wrong i went to the chiropractic. i went 4 times and they said that my pain was caused by a twisted nerv. after every visit to the chiropractic the pain was getting hard and hard. I dont know what to do because now i feel the new zealand docs are useless and im scare about what can i have. i want to wait to go back to chile and have a deep look in there. meanwhile i would like you to recomend me some excercises please.
Thank´s for your help
