Lets take a look at the differences between traction and spinal decompression.

Spinal decompression therapy

is considered more effective than Traction, why because when traction techniques are used, the spine has a natural action to start to move or pull in the opposite direction.

This can often have a lot negative affects and reduces the overall effectiveness that the procedure can have. This is one of the main things that spinal decompression therapy aims to correct, this is because spinal decompression procedures and equipment like the "Spine med" utilize a negitive feed back loop that helps reduce this naturally occurrence, by measuring the tension of the muscels then relaxing when there is tension.

Spinal decompression equipment feedback mechanisms

use strain gauges to monitor and combat the natural process of your body pulling in the opposite direction of traction being applied.

This is the reason that it has proven to be much more effective at applying its therapeutic qualities and having the patient benefit from them.
