Are there any situations that are unsafe for decompression?

Specific situations that are not suited for decompression therapy include:

• Patients under 12 years old
• If you had spinal surgery that involved clips, mesh or fusion
• If you have fractures, tumors or infections
• If you have osteoporosis or spondylolisthesis where there’s been a fracture or non-union defect in the spine, where that segment that we want to traction is unstable
