Spinal decompression is a gentle, non-surgical therapy that uses computer-guided tension to relieve pressure on targeted spinal discs. This innovative approach can help reduce or eliminate pain related to:
Whether caused by everyday wear and tear, injury, or age, compressed spinal discs can lead to persistent discomfort. Spinal decompression offers a natural, effective way to relieve pain and promote healing.
Why Spinal Decompression Works
It’s well-established that damaged spinal discs rarely heal on their own, as they remain under constant pressure. Spinal Decompression Therapy uses scientifically supported methods to relieve this pressure, promoting healing within the discs. This therapy encourages the flow of essential nutrients, oxygen, and fluids back into the discs, helping to retract bulging or herniated discs, which in turn alleviates nerve pressure and reduces pain.
Creates Space Within the Spine
By gently separating the vertebrae, decompression therapy creates more space between spinal components. This relieves pressure on nerves, allowing the body to relax and reset.
Repositions Bulging Discs
The stretching creates negative pressure inside the disc, helping to draw bulging or herniated material back into its proper position. This reduces inflammation and nerve irritation at the source.
Stimulates Natural Healing
That same vacuum effect also draws oxygen, water, and nutrients into the discs—fueling the body’s natural ability to heal damaged tissue and rehydrate the discs for better function and cushioning.
Our decompression therapy is particularly beneficial for:
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session typically lasts 30 minutes on the decompression table. Patients remain fully clothed, comfortably secured to the table while it electronically adjusts to target specific spinal segments. The therapy gently stretches the targeted area, creating controlled tension to relieve pressure within the affected discs. Many patients find the treatment relaxing, with some even falling asleep during their sessions.
While most people begin to feel symptom relief after 5 to 10 sessions, the full course of treatment generally involves 20-25 sessions. Treatments are ideally performed daily, with breaks over the weekend to allow for optimal recovery.
Once the disc injury has been addressed, patients are given exercises to strengthen the spine and prevent future injury. Research has demonstrated that Spinal Decompression can significantly relieve chronic pain from degenerative discs, bulging or herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and even cases of failed back surgery. Most patients return to their regular activities or recreational pursuits within just a few weeks.
Proven Results Backed by Research
Clinical studies using MRI imaging have shown that spinal decompression therapy can reduce disc herniations by 10% to 90%, depending on the number of sessions completed. Many patients experience significant improvement—even those who have had limited success with surgery or other interventions.
By repairing tears in the disc, restoring hydration, and relieving pressure on inflamed joints, spinal decompression helps people regain mobility and get back to living life with less pain.
The Benefits of Spinal Decompression vs. Surgery
Is It Right for You?
Spinal decompression is a safe, drug-free alternative to surgery and a promising solution for many people struggling with back or neck pain. Research suggests a 93% success rate for symptom relief. Plus, because it’s non-surgical, most patients are able to continue working and staying active throughout treatment.
