Spinal Decompression

A gentle, non-surgical, drug-free therapy that may help relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves.

Gentle traction for disc-related pain.

Spinal decompression gently and gradually stretches the spine to reduce pressure on the discs and the nerves around them. Easing that pressure may reduce pain, support circulation to the area and help you move more freely, without injections, medication or surgery.

Each session is set up for your specific condition and comfort level. Most patients describe it as a comfortable, gentle stretch, and sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes.

Who may benefit.

Decompression may be worth considering if disc-related pain hasn’t responded to other care, or if you’d like to explore non-surgical options first. It is commonly used for:

Herniated & Bulging Discs
Sciatica
Degenerative Disc Disease
Spinal Stenosis
Chronic Lower Back Pain
Chronic Neck Pain

A clear process from exam to treatment.

Evaluation

A consultation and an orthopedic, neurologic and chiropractic exam help us understand what’s driving your pain. X-rays are taken only if needed.

Findings & Plan

We walk you through what we found and whether decompression is a good fit. If chiropractic care isn’t right for you, there’s no charge and we’ll refer you to a trusted specialist.

Treatment Sessions

You rest comfortably while a controlled, gentle stretch is applied to your spine. Many patients notice changes within a few sessions; a full plan typically runs several weeks.

What decompression is designed to do.

Every patient responds differently. The goal is less pain and better movement, without surgery or medication.

Pain Relief Without Surgery

Reducing pressure on compressed discs and nerves may ease back, neck and radiating leg pain.

Better Mobility

Less pressure and stiffness can make it easier to bend, sit, stand and get through your day.

Support for Spinal Health

Improved circulation to the area may support your body’s natural healing process.

Little to No Downtime

Most patients return to their normal activities right after a session.
