Summary

This study looks at whether a non-surgical treatment called spinal decompression can help people with chronic low back pain. About 42 adults with back pain from disc problems or sciatica will receive the treatment over 12 weeks. Researchers will use MRI scans and movement tests to see if the therapy improves disc health, muscle function, and pain levels.
