Each pick, examined

Disk Dr WG30 Lumbar Decompression Belt
Air-pump traction, doctor-recommended in Korea, and the one my chiropractor pointed me to. Genuinely lifts pressure off the discs. [Check it on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Disk+Dr+WG30+Lumbar+Decompression+Belt&tag=thetestedhub-20)
Vertetrac Spinal Decompression Belt
More mechanical, heavier, but the relief during long flights is real. My travel pick. [Check it on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Vertetrac+Spinal+Decompression+Belt&tag=thetestedhub-20)

Mueller Adjustable Back Brace Decompression Belt
The most affordable belt with real lumbar support. Good for first-timers who don't want to drop. [Check it on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Mueller+Adjustable+Back+Brace+Decompression+Belt&tag=thetestedhub-20)
Saunders Lumbar Hometrac Decompression Belt
This one is a step closer to a real traction table. Setup takes longer but the pull is the most controllable. [Check it on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Saunders+Lumbar+Hometrac+Decompression+Belt&tag=thetestedhub-20)

KKTECT Lumbar Decompression Belt With Air Pump
The budget air-pump option. Not as durable as the Disk Dr but it works and you can replace it every two years and still come out ahead. [Check it on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=KKTECT+Lumbar+Decompression+Belt+With+Air+Pump&tag=thetestedhub-20)
Questions answered
I started at 20 minutes and worked up to 45. Wearing it all day actually weakens the core, which made my pain worse the first month.
No. The belts I recommend complement PT exercises. They are a tool, not a cure.
