Dr. Jensen is a strong proponent of spinal decompression therapy and employs two different methods as a means of treating disorders of the disc. The first is the current gold standard for conservative disc management, spinal decompression therapy.

Spinal decompression therapy is a form of traction therapy applied to the spine with the intent of repositioning disc material to its normal centralized location. This traction or decompression mechanism reduces pressure inside the disc pulling material back to the center, not unlike fluid being pulled through a straw.

This lower pressure also produces a hydrostatic effect causing an influx of nutrients from surrounding tissues. Given the significant lack of blood flow to the disc, this infusion helps accelerate healing in the area.
