    Spinal Decompression Therapy

    If you’re struggling with chronic back pain, radiating leg pain, or disc issues, spinal decompression may offer the relief you’ve been looking for. This gentle, non-invasive therapy helps reduce pressure on spinal discs, allowing your body to heal and move more freely.

    How do we Help with Spinal Decompression Therapy?

    Spinal decompression is a specialized form of traction therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine. It works by gently stretching the spine in a controlled way, creating negative pressure within the discs. This can help retract bulging or herniated discs, reduce nerve irritation, and improve nutrient flow to the injured area.

    How It Works

    During treatment, you lie on a decompression table while a computerized system applies gentle, targeted traction to specific areas of your spine. The session is comfortable and completely non-surgical, with most patients reporting a sense of relief during or after the visit. Treatment is typically part of a broader care plan alongside chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, or rehab exercises.

    Why It’s Effective

    Spinal decompression reduces the pressure that causes disc bulges, nerve compression, and inflammation — common sources of chronic back and leg pain. By creating space between the vertebrae and encouraging fluid and oxygen back into the disc, decompression supports healing from the inside out.

    Is This Right for You?

    Spinal decompression therapy may be a good fit if you:

    • Have been diagnosed with a disc injury or herniation
    • Experience radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the legs or arms
    • Feel like your spine is compressed or “locked up”
    • Want to avoid surgery or prescription pain medication
    • Are dealing with chronic back pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments
    • Are looking for a non-invasive way to relieve nerve pressure

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Is spinal decompression painful?

      No. The treatment is gentle and most patients find it relaxing. You’ll be fully supported and monitored throughout the session.

    • How many sessions will I need?

      It depends on your condition and how your body responds. Some patients begin to feel relief after a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer course of care.

    • Is spinal decompression the same as inversion therapy?

      No. While both involve traction, spinal decompression is a controlled, targeted medical therapy using a specialized table and computerized system. It’s much more precise and comfortable.

    • Can spinal decompression replace surgery?

      In many cases, yes. It’s a non-surgical alternative that has helped many patients avoid invasive procedures, but we’ll always review your condition carefully to ensure it’s the right fit.
