How does a chiropractor relieve back pain?
Chiropractors utilize various types of motorized traction tables to perform spinal decompression therapy. You lie on the table with a harness around your hips. The upper portion of the table remains stationary and the lower half, to which the harness is attached, moves back and forth to provide traction and relaxation.
This process creates a negative pressure with your spinal disks, pulling any bulging material back in place, and promoting the absorption of healing nutrients.
Spinal decompression and traction are just one of many techniques under the umbrella of chiropractic adjustments used by chiropractors to relieve back pain.
