RE: Hot Damn
If you go to Spine-Health or one of the other spine websites you'll find that the new decompression machines are just the updated version of the kind of traction they used to use when they would put you in the hospital years ago. Kind of a return to the older tried and true method of realignment that they used to use. Worked for some, but not for others, like everything else. Smile

This is the machine my chiro was getting, triton... But they make a huge model like this more gagets, and looks more enjoyable.. But basically anyone who has had traction in pt, it remains on the same basis except insted of sitting in a harnes with cables pulling upward you are more relaxed where your muscles can relax as well..

Looks similar to the traction machine used on me in physical therapy.
Traction was done with the purpose of reducting pain not preventing surgery.

RE: Hot Damn
I believe they all work on the same concept, of streaching the body so the disc can maybe go back into place.
