A non-surgical alternative for herniated discs, chronic back pain, and sciatica. Spinal decompression gently relieves the disc pressure driving your pain — without medication or surgery.
What is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression is a type of motorized traction therapy that gently stretches the spine. The goal is to create negative pressure inside the spinal discs — which draws herniated or bulging disc material back into position and allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to flow into the disc.
Unlike surgery, spinal decompression is non-invasive and typically painless. Patients lie on a specially designed table while the machine applies controlled, gentle stretching forces to specific segments of the spine. A typical session lasts 20–30 minutes.
It's most effective for conditions caused by disc compression — herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica from disc herniation, and chronic low back pain that hasn't responded to other conservative treatments.
Conditions treated with decompression
Who is NOT a candidate
We review your health history before recommending any treatment.
Why patients choose decompression
Achieves results similar to surgery for many disc conditions — without the recovery time, risks, or cost of an operation.
Rather than managing symptoms, decompression actually changes the mechanical environment that's causing disc and nerve compression.
Most patients find sessions relaxing. The traction force is controlled and gradual — not a sudden or forceful stretch.
We typically combine decompression with chiropractic adjustments, massage, and rehab exercises for the best outcomes.
What to expect
We'll review your health history, assess your condition, and confirm whether spinal decompression is appropriate for your specific case and disc condition.
We set the decompression table to target the specific spinal segments involved in your condition. The treatment parameters are individualized — not a standard setting.
You'll lie comfortably on the table while the controlled traction is applied. Most patients feel relief — some even find it relaxing.
Decompression is most effective when combined with chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation exercises. We coordinate all of this in your plan.
