How Does Spinal Decompression Work? Part II of II

Spinal decompression can trick the body into relaxing. Regular pulling of the spine can trigger sensors in the muscles, and cause them to tighten up. Spinal decompression can bypass the muscle tightening response of the body. This is accomplished by gently pulling on the spine and relaxing the back over a period of time. The spine is able to reposition without tension, or putting itself into an emergency tighten down mode.
