Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression uses controlled traction to gently apply a stretching force through the spine. This therapy is designed to reduce compressive forces, promote spinal mobility, and provide relief for certain types of back and neck discomfort. Spinal decompression may be incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan when appropriate, along with chiropractic care, soft-tissue techniques, and therapeutic exercise.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression uses a specialized treatment table to gently stretch and relax targeted areas of the spine. Treatment is customized based on your condition, comfort, and individual needs.
Personalized to You
Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms and determine whether spinal decompression is appropriate for your condition.
Comfortable, Controlled Treatment
You’ll remain comfortably positioned on the decompression table while gentle, controlled forces are applied to the targeted area of your spine.
Designed to Reduce Pressure
Decompression therapy is intended to reduce pressure on spinal structures and may help relieve symptoms associated with certain disc and joint conditions.
Part of a Complete Treatment Plan
When appropriate, decompression may be combined with chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy, rehabilitation, or other treatments based on your needs.
Could Spinal Decompression work for you?
Spinal decompression may be an option for people experiencing persistent neck or back discomfort, particularly when symptoms may involve the discs, joints, or nerves of the spine.
Every patient is different. Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms, health history, and exam findings to determine whether decompression is appropriate for you and how it may fit into your overall treatment plan.
What conditions benefit from spinal decompression?
Low back or neck pain, sciatica or radiating symptoms, and certain disc-related conditions may be considered for decompression therapy. Your doctor will determine whether your specific condition is appropriate for treatment.
What does spinal decompression feel like?
Treatment uses gentle, controlled pulling forces while you are comfortably positioned on the decompression table. The amount of force and treatment settings are adjusted based on your needs and comfort.
How many sessions do I need?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment schedule. Recommendations depend on your condition, symptoms, response to care, and individual goals. In some cases, decompression may be used alongside other treatments as part of a broader care plan, which can affect the total number of sessions recommended.
Can decompression be used alongside other treatments?
