Does non surgical decompression work for ddd? please, need some answers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disc degeneration: Yes. Traction for the neck or back can relieve pressure on pinched nerves and realign the spine. Traction is used as an adjunct to other nonoperative measures to relieve the pain. Traction is usually performed 10-15 minutes in the morning and in the evening. If traction makes the pain worse then stop and seek medical evaluation with a spine specialist.
