What Are The Disadvantages Of Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is generally very safe, but potential disadvantages include mild soreness, temporary stiffness, or muscle fatigue after sessions. These effects are short-lived and part of the body’s adjustment process. In rare cases, people with severe bone weakness or instability may not tolerate traction well, which is why thorough screening is essential. When done correctly, the benefits, less pain, more mobility, and faster healing, far outweigh the minor temporary discomforts.
