Hey, everyone is different. I had real bad lower back and neck compression problems. I finally got so bad that my spinal-cord root in my neck got just about ruined and I lost most use of my left arm. At that point, I was in so much pain - my attitude was - fix me or kill me. I got operated on - twice. They screwed up the first time and I almost lost my voice. So, now I have several neck fusions - the "extra" parts salvaged from my hip bone. Never got my lower back worked on - however - to answer your question about decompression therapy. Yes - I did it, sort of unintentionally. I broke both my legs in a tractor accident (real bad, one leg was just about severed). So, for half a year I was using a walker or some combo of crutches. Funny thing was - my back never felt better! Almost felt like a teenager again. That because my back stretched out from all that time on crutches. Now?? Been 10 years, and I'm pulling wrenches and building buildings, and my back is as bad as ever. But, I still feel better when I'm moving. Sitting around is a killer.
