Does Lying On Your Back Decompress Your Spine?

Yes, lying on your back can help decompress your spine, especially if you support it properly. Placing a pillow under your knees reduces lower back pressure and encourages the spine to relax into its natural alignment. This position allows gravity to ease tension on the discs and muscles. It’s a simple, effective way to relieve pressure after a long day of sitting or standing. Combine this with gentle stretching or walking, and you’ll help keep your spine flexible and balanced between chiropractic visits.
