A blood supply is necessary for all stages of the healing process to deliver specialized cells, chemical messengers that activate cell functions, oxygen, and nutrients. Unfortunately, there is not much blood flow to the spaces between the vertebrae and spinal discs. This is why severe disc damage might cause discomfort for months.

 

Negative pressure generated by spinal decompression therapy enhances blood vessel liberation, facilitating increased blood flow and nutrient delivery to the affected area, thereby expediting healing.

 

This vacuum effect also cleans up disc fluid leaks and draws bulging discs back into their proper position. Even flattened discs can be rehydrated, which can delay the degenerative process. No other therapy produces such a profound physiologic change in the disc space.
