Decompression Table

Pettibon System introduces the Whole Body Vibration (WBV) tilting table that features whole-body vibration. The WBV table strengthens postural muscles up to 30% and relaxes spastic muscles that may prevent axial distraction of the spine. The table increases muscle tone and strength of spinal musculature; and increases blood flow, balance, and dexterity. The patient can monitor the traction force according to his or her tolerance by raising or lowering the table tilt. Once the Pettibon System predecompression rehab and WBV relaxes the spinal muscles and disks, the patient’s own body weight provides the traction force necessary to allow full and complete axial distraction of the spine, eliminating the need for expensive traction computers.
