Experience relief with spinal decompression treatment
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, traction-based therapy designed to relieve pain and promote healing in the spine. This treatment is particularly effective for individuals suffering from chronic back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and other spinal conditions. By gently stretching the spine, spinal decompression therapy helps alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, facilitating a return to normal spinal function.
How does spinal decompression work?
During a spinal decompression session, the patient lies comfortably on a specialized table. The table is equipped with a computer-controlled traction device that gently and precisely stretches the spine. This stretching creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging the retraction of herniated or bulging discs and improving the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the affected areas. This process promotes healing and reduces pain and inflammation.
Key benefits of spinal decompression:
-
By alleviating pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, spinal decompression can significantly reduce pain and discomfort.
-
Patients often experience improved mobility and flexibility following spinal decompression therapy.
-
The negative pressure created during treatment encourages nutrient and oxygen flow to the discs, promoting natural healing processes.
-
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, drug-free treatment option, making it a safer alternative for many patients.
-
This therapy is effective for managing chronic conditions such as sciatica, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and more.
What conditions can spinal decompression treat?
Spinal decompression is beneficial for a variety of spinal conditions, including:
-
By creating negative pressure, spinal decompression helps reabsorb herniated or bulging discs.
-
This treatment can alleviate pain and improve function in patients with degenerative disc disease.
-

Many patients with chronic pain find significant relief through spinal decompression therapy.
What to expect during a spinal decompression session
Initial consultation
Before beginning spinal decompression therapy, you will have an initial consultation with one of our experienced physical therapists. During this consultation, your medical history will be reviewed, and a thorough physical examination will be conducted to determine if spinal decompression is the right treatment for you.
Treatment sessions
Each spinal decompression session typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. During the session, you will lie on the decompression table, and the traction device will be carefully adjusted to target the specific areas of your spine that need treatment. The process is gentle and controlled, ensuring your comfort throughout the session.
Post-treatment care
After your session, you may be given specific exercises or stretches to enhance the benefits of the treatment and promote long-term spinal health. Your physical therapist will work with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Is spinal decompression right for you?
Spinal decompression therapy is suitable for many patients suffering from spinal conditions, but it is not appropriate for everyone. It is important to consult with a qualified physical therapist to determine if this treatment is right for you.
