Back-On-Trac Spinal Decompression Therapy is one of the most important treatment protocols to reduce or eliminate lower back pain by taking pressure off the neural elements of the spine. Oftentimes on initial consultations with our patients we review their X-ray or MRI report and see compression of the spine and loss of the disc space. Your spine’s purpose is to provide support for your body. The spine is made up of vertebrae (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar), ligaments and disc in between each of the vertebrae to keep it flexible. Your nervous system consist of the spinal cord which travels from the brain down your spine and nerves exit the spine to EVERY part of your body.
