Knee Decompression Therapy

How Knee Decompression Works

Knee decompression supports the leg while a device applies controlled traction across the joint. Unlike an exercise where you push against resistance, you rest while the clinician positions the leg and adjusts the pull.

If you are considering traction, mention prior knee surgery, implants and any limits on movement or weight-bearing. During a session you can describe how the position feels and whether the pull is comfortable.

At Bakersfield Knee Center, connect your questions to an ordinary activity. If standing through a work shift is difficult, ask Dr. Collins how you might tell whether treatment is making those hours easier.
