A herniated or slipped disc occurs when the soft material in the center of an intervertebral disc extends beyond the normal limits of the disc. Bulging discs swell when the soft material pushes to one side of the disc. Spinal decompression therapy creates negative pressure in the discs through gentle lengthening of the spine, which takes pressure off pinched nerves and can help reposition bulging discs or pull extruded disc material back into place.

3. Bulging Disc
The soft jeliy-like material in the middle of the
disc pushes to one side, forward or backward,
and swelling occurs.

5. Herniated or Slipped Disc
The soft jelly-like material from the nucleus extends
to the outer edge or beyond the normal limits of
the disc.

6. This therapy gently lengthens
and decompresses the spine,
creating negative pressures
within the discs. This reversal of
pressure creates an intradiscal
vacuum that not only takes
pressure off the pinched nerves,
but also helps re-position of
bulging discs and pull extruded
disc material back to a certain
limit.
