What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression uses a specialized table to apply gentle, controlled stretching to the spine. That motion creates negative pressure within the discs, which can help retract bulging or herniated disc material and draw water, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc. Over a series of sessions, this supports the body’s natural ability to heal the source of the pain rather than masking the symptoms.
The treatment is comfortable. Most patients simply relax on the table while the system does the work.
Conditions Spinal Decompression May Help
Spinal decompression is often used to address:
Chronic lower back pain
Neck pain
Sciatica and radiating leg pain
Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Pinched nerves
Posture-related disc compression
If you have been told surgery is your only option, or if pain medication has only offered temporary relief, decompression may be worth exploring first.
What to Expect
Care begins with a thorough evaluation, including any imaging needed to understand the source of your pain. From there, our team builds a treatment plan tailored to your spine and your goals.
A typical session lasts around [20 to 30 minutes]. Because decompression supports gradual disc healing, results build over a series of visits rather than a single appointment. Many patients combine decompression with chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies for faster, more complete recovery.
