How Can I Decompress My Spine On My Own?

You can safely decompress your spine at home with a few gentle techniques. Start by lying flat on your back with your knees bent, that reduces pressure on your lower spine. You can also try light yoga poses like “child’s pose,” “cat-cow,” or “knees-to-chest.” If you have access to an inversion table, use it for short sessions at a mild angle, not full inversion. Walking and stretching daily also help maintain space between your vertebrae. But remember, home decompression is for maintenance, professional decompression targets specific discs with much greater precision.
