Decompressing your spine is safe and painless as long as you’re using physician-approved techniques appropriately and correctly. However, it’s always recommended that you see a certified chiropractor for professional manual decompression to ensure the quality of your results and the safety of your practice. To decompress your spine, there are a few different positions that are beneficial. They include moving into a side-lying technique, performing overhead stretches, or using a hanging technique to elongate and gently stretch the spine and its surrounding structures. To ensure that you’re doing this correctly, always consult with a chiropractic professional. Improper positioning can lead to new or worsening injuries.
