Many patients searching for spinal decompression in Jacksonville Beach are looking for a non-surgical way to relieve back pain caused by disc issues, nerve irritation, or degenerative changes.
At Twin Waves Chiropractic & Wellness, we use the Back-On-Trac spinal traction system to provide a gentle, seated form of non-surgical spinal traction designed to reduce mechanical stress on the spine and support the body’s natural healing process.
This treatment is comfortable, non-invasive, and does not require injections or surgery.
Non-surgical spinal traction is a gentle therapeutic approach that applies controlled distraction forces to the spine.
The goal is to:
reduce mechanical stress on spinal joints and discs
improve mobility and flexibility
help relieve pressure associated with irritated nerves
Unlike surgical procedures, spinal traction is conservative, non-invasive, and designed to support overall spinal function as part of a broader chiropractic care plan.
Our Back-On-Trac system is a seated spinal traction device that allows patients to relax comfortably during treatment.
One advantage of this system is its ergonomic seated design—there are no restrictive harnesses or uncomfortable positioning requirements. If you can sit in a chair, you can typically use this system.
The chair provides gentle axial distraction and may also be adjusted to allow for different positioning strategies based on your individualized treatment plan.
Patients may experience benefits such as:
relief from pain associated with disc bulges or herniated discs
reduced pressure on irritated spinal nerves
improved spinal mobility and flexibility
improved circulation to surrounding tissues
decreased muscle tension and stiffness
Results vary depending on the individual, condition severity, and overall treatment plan.
Spinal traction may be used as part of care for patients experiencing:
disc bulges or herniations
sciatica or radiating leg pain
degenerative disc disease
chronic low back pain
neck pain
spinal arthritis
facet joint irritation
general spinal stiffness or reduced mobility
During your evaluation, we will determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your condition.
Your visit begins with a consultation and examination to understand your symptoms and health history.
If spinal traction is appropriate for you, you will be comfortably positioned in the Back-On-Trac system. The treatment is gentle and typically involves a seated position while controlled traction is applied to the spine.
Most patients describe the experience as relaxing, and there is no downtime afterward. Many return to normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
Non-surgical spinal traction is often most effective when combined with other conservative therapies.
At Twin Waves Chiropractic & Wellness, it may be used alongside:
chiropractic adjustments
rehabilitation exercises
soft tissue therapy
laser and/or shockwave therapy (when appropriate)
This combined approach allows us to address both symptoms and the underlying causes of dysfunction.
Of course not. While spinal traction is safe for many patients, it is not appropriate in all cases.
Patients with certain conditions such as fractures, infections or severe osteoporosis may not be candidates. A full evaluation is necessary to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.
No. Most patients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing.
This depends on your condition, severity and how your body responds to care. Typical recommendations range from 12 to 24 sessions.
While there are many factors that go into this decision, spinal traction is generally safe for post-surgical spines one year after the surgery. A full evaluation is always performed to ensure patient safety prior to the first treatment.
So if you’re struggling with back or neck pain, non-surgical spinal traction may be a helpful part of your care plan. Give us a call to see if we can help get your life Back On Trac!
