Question 5

How does knee decompression work?

Accepted Answer

Knee decompression uses gentle mechanical traction to stretch the knee joint. A specialized device applies controlled pulling force to the leg, which helps reduce pressure within the knee. Your therapist will customize the traction intensity and duration based on your condition. This process can alleviate pain, improve mobility, and support the healing of surrounding tissues.

Question 8

How many spinal decompression sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

A single session generally lasts about 30 minutes. The total number of sessions needed varies depending on your condition. Patients with mild symptoms may see improvement in just a few visits, while those with more complex or long-standing issues may benefit from a longer treatment plan.

Question 9

What happens during a spinal decompression session?

Accepted Answer

You’ll lie comfortably on a decompression table, which is connected to a computer-controlled system. The machine gently stretches your spine in cycles of decompression and relaxation. During the decompression phase, tension is applied to create space between the vertebrae. During the rest phase, the tension is released, allowing your spine to relax. A typical session lasts around 30 minutes, and most people require multiple sessions to experience lasting relief.

Question 10

What does spinal decompression therapy feel like?

Accepted Answer

Spinal decompression is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that uses a specialized table to apply controlled stretching to your spine. This helps relieve pressure on the spinal discs—the soft cushions between your vertebrae. You may feel a light, pulling sensation when the device is activated, but any initial pressure typically subsides quickly. Many patients notice improved posture, greater range of motion, and reduced pain after their session.
