What is non-surgical spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression uses a computer-controlled table to apply and release traction in cycles. The cycling stops the surrounding muscles guarding against the stretch, which lets pressure fall at a targeted disc. That drop in pressure can relieve the compression behind a herniated disc, sciatica or a pinched nerve.
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical and non-invasive chiropractic treatment that can help alleviate pain and other symptoms associated with herniated discs, sciatica, and other conditions by gently stretching the spine and reducing pressure on affected nerves. At our chiropractic practice, we offer safe and effective spinal decompression therapy to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness.
During a spinal decompression session, our experienced chiropractors will use a specialized traction table to gently stretch the spine and reduce pressure on affected nerves. This can help improve spinal alignment, reduce pain, and restore optimal function to the body.
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive and drug-free approach to treating spinal conditions. It is safe for patients of all ages and can be customized to meet the unique needs and preferences of each patient. At our practice, we take the time to get to know each patient and develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to their individual needs and goals.
In addition to providing spinal decompression therapy, our practice offers a range of complementary therapies to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness. From chiropractic adjustments to myofascial release, therapeutic exercises, and more, we are committed to providing comprehensive care that addresses the root cause of our patients’ conditions.

Common questions
Is spinal decompression the same as surgery?
No. Nothing is cut and no anesthetic is used. You stay fully clothed on a table for the session and drive yourself home afterwards. It is one of the treatments people try in order to avoid surgery.
How many decompression sessions will I need?
A course rather than a single visit, usually spread across several weeks, because improvement tends to build gradually. We reassess as it goes rather than selling a fixed package up front.
Does spinal decompression hurt?
It should not. Most patients describe a stretch through the lower back and find it comfortable. Some soreness in the first few sessions is normal as the surrounding muscles adapt.
