Spinal decompression is a proven, non-surgical therapy designed to relieve back and neck pain while supporting the healing of intervertebral discs.
By gently stretching the spine, this treatment creates negative pressure within the discs, helping retract herniated or bulging material and facilitating an optimal environment for healing and nutrient exchange.
Ideal for individuals suffering from sciatica, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, and other spinal conditions, spinal decompression offers a non-invasive path to relief.
Our practice is dedicated to providing this effective therapy as part of a holistic care approach, focused on lasting results and enhancing your quality of life.
Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine using a specialized traction table or motorized device. This controlled stretching creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, which helps in several ways:
Reduces Pressure on Discs – The negative pressure can help retract bulging or herniated disc material, relieving pressure on nearby nerves.
Enhances Nutrient Flow – By reducing compression, the therapy promotes better blood circulation, allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach damaged discs and facilitate healing.
Relieves Nerve Compression – As the spine is decompressed, pinched nerves causing pain, numbness, or tingling (such as in sciatica) experience relief.
Improves Spinal Alignment – Gentle stretching helps realign the spine, improving posture and mobility over time.
This non-invasive therapy is typically performed in a series of sessions and is a safe, effective alternative to surgery for many spinal conditions.

Honestly, for a lot of people, it does.
If you’re dealing with something like a herniated disc, sciatica, or chronic back pain, spinal decompression can make a big difference. The way it works is by gently stretching your spine, which helps to relieve the pressure on your discs and nerves.
That can lead to less pain, better mobility, and even help with healing over time.
It’s not an overnight fix, but we've seen great rsults with our patients. It can really help reduce your pain without having to go through surgery.
Of course, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it might not work for everyone, but if you’re struggling with back issues, it’s definitely worth considering.
Plus, it’s non-invasive, so the risks are pretty low compared to more drastic options like surgery.
Yes, spinal decompression is considered safe, especially when performed by a trained healthcare professional.
It’s a non-invasive treatment, which means there’s no surgery involved, and the risks are typically much lower than with surgical options for back pain. During the therapy, your spine is gently stretched using a specialized table or device, and while you might feel some pressure or a mild pulling sensation, it’s usually not painful.
Most people tolerate the treatment well, and side effects, if any, are usually minor—like temporary muscle soreness or stiffness, similar to what you might feel after a workout.As with any treatment, it’s important to have it done by someone who knows what they’re doing, especially to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific condition.
But overall, spinal decompression is a safe and effective option for many people dealing with back pain or spinal issues. If you’re considering it, it’s always a good idea to consult with your doctor to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
Spinal decompression usually doesn’t hurt.
Most people find it to be a comfortable and even relaxing treatment. During the therapy, your spine is gently stretched, which might cause a bit of pressure or a mild pulling sensation, but it’s not typically painful.
In fact, many people feel relief during the session as the pressure on their discs and nerves is eased.
Some people might experience a little soreness or stiffness afterward, similar to how you might feel after a good stretch or a workout, but this usually goes away pretty quickly. If you ever do feel any discomfort during the treatment, you can always let us know, and we can adjust the settings to make sure you’re comfortable.
Overall, spinal decompression is designed to be a gentle and non-invasive way to relieve back pain, so it’s generally not something you should worry about in terms of pain.
Spinal decompression helps with back and neck pain by addressing the underlying issues that often cause this discomfort, such as herniated discs, bulging discs, and compressed nerves.
Here’s how it works:
Relieves Pressure on Discs: Over time, the discs in your spine can become compressed or damaged, leading to bulging or herniation. Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This helps to retract the bulging or herniated material back into place, relieving pressure on the affected disc and surrounding nerves.
Reduces Nerve Compression: When a disc is out of place or damaged, it can press on nearby nerves, leading to pain, tingling, or numbness in the back, neck, or even down the arms or legs (as in sciatica). By relieving the pressure on these discs, spinal decompression can help reduce nerve compression, which in turn alleviates these symptoms.
Promotes Healing: The gentle stretching involved in spinal decompression also promotes better circulation to the affected areas. This increased blood flow brings oxygen, nutrients, and hydration to the discs and surrounding tissues, which can help repair damage, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing process.
Improves Spinal Alignment: Over time, poor posture, injuries, or degenerative conditions can lead to misalignment of the spine, contributing to chronic pain. Spinal decompression helps to gently realign the spine, which can improve posture, relieve tension, and reduce pain over time.
Overall, spinal decompression is designed to target the root causes of back and neck pain, offering a non-invasive, drug-free option for relief and recovery. By addressing issues like disc compression and nerve impingement, it helps to restore normal function and reduce pain, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.
