Spinal Decompression Therapy
A non-surgical therapy designed to gently reduce pressure on spinal discs and irritated nerves.
Gentle traction for disc and nerve-related pain
Spinal decompression therapy uses controlled traction with specialized equipment to help reduce disc compression, improve movement tolerance, and support recovery in patients with appropriate clinical findings.
What is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression is a table-based therapy that applies gentle, controlled traction to the spine. The goal is to reduce mechanical pressure around irritated discs, joints, and nerves while helping the surrounding tissues relax. This service is not a replacement for a thorough diagnosis. It is recommended only when your history, symptoms, and exam suggest decompression may be an appropriate part of your care plan.

What to expect during your visit
Your visit is structured to help you understand what is happening, what options are available, and how each step supports your goals.
Clinical Screening
We review your symptoms, health history, and exam findings to determine whether decompression is appropriate.
Positioning
You are comfortably positioned on the decompression table based on the area being treated.
Controlled Traction
The table applies a gentle traction pattern designed to reduce pressure while keeping you relaxed.
Supportive Plan
Decompression is paired with guidance, movement strategies, or other therapies when needed.
Our approach to decompression
We use decompression selectively and pair it with a broader care plan. Disc and nerve symptoms often involve mobility, posture, muscle guarding, inflammation, and strength deficits, so decompression may be combined with chiropractic care or rehabilitation to support better long-term function.
Real-world goals care can support
Explore a conservative option for disc-related symptoms
Reduce irritation during painful flare-ups
Support mobility while avoiding aggressive loading
Combine passive relief with active recovery strategies
Common questions about Decompression
Most patients find spinal decompression comfortable and relaxing. If symptoms increase during treatment, the session can be modified or stopped.
Sessions typically last between 15 and 30 minutes depending on your treatment plan.
The number of treatments varies depending on the condition being treated, symptom severity, and how your body responds.

Why decompression may be part of a larger plan
Decompression can help calm mechanical irritation, but long-term improvement often also depends on movement quality, strength, posture, and daily habits. That is why decompression is often paired with active care and education.
