What Is AntiGravity Spinal Decompression?

AntiGravity Spinal Decompression is a clinically advanced, non-invasive therapy designed to relieve spinal pressure while supporting natural healing processes. Unlike temporary treatments or pain medications that only mask symptoms, this therapy addresses the root mechanical causes of spinal discomfort.

Through controlled, multi-directional motion, the therapy gradually elongates the spine, relieving compression on discs, nerves, and surrounding tissues. Over time, this process can help reduce nerve irritation, improve disc hydration, and restore mobility and alignment.

At our clinic, we utilize the Back On Trac system by Ergo-Flex Technologies, a sophisticated, FDA-cleared, upright spinal decompression system trusted globally for treating chronic spinal conditions safely and effectively.

Why Spinal Decompression Matters

The spine is central to your overall health, supporting posture, mobility, and balance. However, everyday activities, repetitive strain, poor posture, injuries, and aging can compress the vertebrae and discs, leading to:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Pinched nerves and sciatica
• Chronic muscle tension and stiffness
• Degenerative disc disease
• Reduced spinal flexibility and mobility

While medications or injections may temporarily relieve pain, they do not address the underlying spinal stress. AntiGravity Spinal Decompression works by creating space between vertebrae, allowing discs to rehydrate, nerves to decompress, and spinal structures to gradually regain their natural alignment. Importantly, spinal decompression is a progressive therapy, meaning results develop over a series of sessions rather than after a single treatment.

How AntiGravity Spinal Decompression Works

AntiGravity Spinal Decompression leverages the Back On Trac system, an upright spinal decompression machine with multiple advanced features designed for precision and patient comfort.

1. Multi-Directional Traction

• Axial (vertical) traction: Gently elongates the spine to reduce pressure on discs.
• Lateral flexion: Side-to-side movement targets specific nerve pathways and disc segments for more precise decompression.
• Controlled angles: Traction is applied at carefully calibrated angles based on the patient’s spinal curvature and condition.

Consequently, each session targets problem areas without overstretching, ensuring both efficacy and safety.

2. Automated Dual-Motor Control

• Dual synchronized motors deliver smooth, consistent traction.
• Pressure sensors continuously monitor force to prevent overextension, guaranteeing safe therapy for all patients.
• As a result, patients experience precise, repeatable decompression without discomfort.

 3. Preset Clinical Protocols

• 21 customizable programs adapt traction angle, speed, and duration for specific spinal conditions.
• Protocols can be personalized based on patient height, weight, and spinal alignment, making therapy highly individualized.
• Moreover, these programs accommodate conditions ranging from herniated discs to degenerative spinal changes.

4. Patient-Friendly Design

• Upright, seated configuration with ergonomic support enhances comfort.
• In addition, the system eliminates the need for belts, straps, or restraints, making sessions easy and stress-free.
• Short session duration: 15–20 minutes, ideal for patients with busy schedules.

5. Optional Comfort Features

• Gentle vibration or heat can be added to relax muscles, improve circulation, and enhance overall comfort during therapy.

Therefore, Back On Trac combines precise traction, automated control, and multi-directional motion to provide safe, effective, and patient-centered spinal decompression.

Conditions Treated with AntiGravity Spinal Decompression

This therapy is clinically effective for:

1: Chronic Back Pain

Chronic back pain often results from disc compression, muscle imbalances, and nerve irritation. AntiGravity Spinal Decompression gently stretches the spine, reducing pressure on painful areas over multiple sessions.

2: Herniated or Bulging Discs

Herniated discs can compress nearby nerves, causing pain, tingling, or numbness. Gradual decompression helps relieve pressure and supports disc rehydration, promoting long-term spinal health.

3: Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing radiating leg pain. Lateral flexion and axial traction can reduce nerve compression, easing discomfort over time.

4: Pinched Nerves

Nerve compression can lead to pain, tingling, or numbness. Decompression creates space around affected nerves, allowing them to function more efficiently.

5: Degenerative Disc Disease

Thinning and worn spinal discs lose flexibility and height. AntiGravity Spinal Decompression supports disc regeneration and alignment, slowing degeneration and improving mobility.

6: Muscle Tension & Spasms

Gentle traction combined with optional vibration relaxes tense muscles, alleviating stiffness and improving spinal flexibility.

7: Postural Imbalance

Prolonged sitting, forward head posture, or uneven weight distribution can lead to misaligned vertebrae. Gradual spinal decompression restores alignment, improving posture and reducing strain. Importantly, this therapy is gradual, and noticeable improvements typically develop after completing the full course of recommended sessions.

8-Session Program with B12 Shots

To optimize results, we combine spinal decompression with 8 B12 injections, one per session.

Benefits of B12 Shots:

• Supports nerve regeneration and function
• Enhances energy and metabolic support
• Promotes red blood cell production
• Aids muscle recovery

As a result, patients receive both mechanical decompression and biological support, improving overall spinal health over the full course.
