This simple lumbar decompression technique helps create space in your lower spine, easing pressure on irritated discs and nerves. It can help relieve symptoms of a herniated disc such as low back pain, sharp radiating pain down the leg, numbness, tingling, and muscle tightness. By gently unloading your lumbar joints, it allows the disc to rehydrate and your nerves to calm down. Do this slowly, focus on your breathing, and let your spine relax as gravity does the work. Consistency is key for long
