"Restoration of disk height through non-surgical spinal decompression is associated with decreased discogenic low back pain”. Low back pain decreased from 6.2 (sd 2.2) to 1.6 (2.3, p < 0.001) and disc height increased from 7.5 (1.7) mm to 8.8 (1.7) mm (p < 0.001). INCREASE IN DISC HEIGHT AND REDUCTION IN PAIN WERE SIGNIFICANTLY CORRELATED (r = 0.36, p = 0.044).
CONCLUSIONS: Non-surgical spinal decompression was associated with a reduction in pain and an increase in disc height.
