Decompression Traction Therapy

     Here at Torkelson Chiropractic, P.A. we have done extensive research into spinal decompression therapy to bring the most advanced spinal care to our patients.

     Decompression therapy is a passive therapy that can be utilized to decrease  your pain. It does not "cure" abnormal posture and alterations of spinal curves however it does relieve lower back  and neck pain by improving disc health thus allowing you to begin a rehabilitative program to correct underlying spinal biomechanical dysfunctions. If you can't perform your daily activities due to pain, how can you expect to begin a rehab regimen. Decompression can often enhance the healing process and offer amazing pain relief.
