Overview
The gap between the bones in your spine where the cushioning disc sits.
Detailed Description
The intervertebral space is the region between adjacent vertebrae, occupied by the intervertebral disc, neural structures, and surrounding soft tissues. The height and health of this space are critical for spinal function and nerve integrity.
ELDOA's primary goal is to increase and maintain intervertebral space through active decompression. By creating axial tension through precise positioning, ELDOA positions increase the distance between vertebrae, reducing disc pressure and creating room for neural structures.
Loss of intervertebral space—from disc degeneration, poor posture, or aging—can lead to nerve compression, facet joint overload, and pain. Regular ELDOA practice helps maintain disc height and intervertebral space, potentially slowing degenerative processes.
