The traction from spinal decompression therapy will increase the circulation to the damaged disc which allows it to begin the natural healing process. This may also reduce compression of nearby spinal nerve roots.  This type of therapy is often prescribed by a Chiropractor when a patient is suffering from chronic back pain from damaged discs.    Article Table of Contents: - [How to Perform Spinal Decompression Therapy](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/spinal-decompression#How-to-Perform-Spinal-Decompression-Therapy) - [Who can Receive Spinal Decompression Therapy](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/spinal-decompression#Who-can-Receive-Spinal-Decompression-Therapy) - [What to do if you are Suffering from Chronic Back Pain](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/spinal-decompression#What-to-do-if-you-are-Suffering-from-Chronic-Back-Pain) ###### Topics: [spinal decompression](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/topic/spinal-decompression) [All posts](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/all) ### Featured ### Posts by Tag - [chiropractic care (29)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/chiropractic-care) - [back pain (24)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/back-pain) - [TBI (12)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/tbi) - [car accident (10)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/car-accident) - [chiropractor (6)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/chiropractor) - [personal injury (3)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/personal-injury) - [Car accident chiropractor (2)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/car-accident-chiropractor) - [Chiropractic Adjustment (2)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/chiropractic-adjustment) - [Headache (2)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/headache) - [Neck Pain (2)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/neck-pain) - [spinal manipulation (2)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/spinal-manipulation) - [whiplash (2)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/whiplash) - [Legal (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/legal) - [Neck Injuries (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/neck-injuries) - [Whiplash pain (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/whiplash-pain) - [athlete (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/athlete) - [back pain and car accidents (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/back-pain-and-car-accidents) - [car accident injuries (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/car-accident-injuries) - [car accident questions (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/car-accident-questions) - [chronic pain (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/chronic-pain) - [early death (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/early-death) - [effects of chiropractic care (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/effects-of-chiropractic-care) - [jobs (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/jobs) - [manual labor (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/manual-labor) - [musculoskeletal system (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/musculoskeletal-system) - [neck crack (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/neck-crack) - [physical labor (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/physical-labor) - [review (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/review) - [scoliosis (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/scoliosis) - [sick (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/sick) - [spinal decompression (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/spinal-decompression) - [surprising benefits (1)](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/surprising-benefits) [See all](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/blog/tag/spinal-decompression#) ### Sign up for updates ![Ethos logo](https://www.ethoshealthgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ethos%20logo.png?width=179&height=161&name=Ethos%20logo.png) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.flspineandinjury.com/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Service](https://www.flspineandinjury.com/terms-of-service) - [HIPAA Policy](https://www.flspineandinjury.com/hipaa)   Copyright © 2026 Ethos Health Group **
