Spinal Decompression Alleviates Pressure and Elongates the Spine
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Highly Successful Treatment of Disc Injuries, Back Pain, Sciatica & More
Spinal decompression therapy helps alleviate pain associated with the discs in the spine that are between vertebrae. Spinal decompression involves stretching the spine using traction table technologies with the goal of relieving pain and increasing functionality in the spine.
Due to age, lifestyle, or injury, discs can bulge and become herniated or degenerate. Once this process begins, there is limited range of motion and pain & discomfort may occur in the spine and in the legs. Spinal Decompression is a low-risk treatment and a great alternative to surgery. Decompression therapy is effective in treating difficult conditions like sciatic pain and chronic low back pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Causes Low Back Pain?
Low back pain is commonly caused by disc degeneration, bulging discs, herniated discs, injury, or aging. When spinal discs lose hydration or shift out of place, they can place pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain, stiffness, numbness, or tingling. Spinal Decompression therapy is designed to relieve this pressure and support disc healing.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal Decompression gently stretches the spine using controlled, targeted forces. This creates negative pressure inside the disc, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and reducing nerve compression. Improved circulation helps bring nutrients and oxygen to the disc to support natural healing.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Many patients experience pain relief within the first few sessions. Significant improvement is often seen within the first two weeks, depending on the severity of the condition and consistency of care.
How Long Is Spinal Decompression Treatment?
Each session lasts approximately 30–45 minutes. Treatment plans typically span several weeks and are customized based on the patient’s condition and response to care.
Is Spinal Decompression Safe?
Yes. Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment that is safe and comfortable when performed by trained professionals. Emergency stop controls ensure patient safety at all times.
What Conditions Can Spinal Decompression Help?
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic low back pain
- Sciatica or leg pain
- Persistent pain after back surgery
Who Is a Candidate for Spinal Decompression?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Want to avoid back surgery
- Have chronic disc-related pain
- Have not found relief with medications or therapy
- Are looking for a non-invasive treatment option
A chiropractic evaluation will determine if Spinal Decompression is right for you.
Who Is Not a Candidate?
Spinal Decompression may not be recommended for patients with:
- Pregnancy
- Recent spinal fractures or fusion
- Metal hardware in the spine
- Severe osteoporosis
- Spinal infections or tumors
Is Spinal Decompression Different Than Traction?
Yes. Traditional traction applies constant force, which can cause muscle resistance. Spinal Decompression uses variable, controlled forces to reduce disc pressure more effectively without triggering muscle spasms.
Can Spinal Decompression Help After Back Surgery?
In many cases, yes. Patients with continued pain after surgery may benefit once proper healing has occurred. A consultation is required to determine eligibility.
