Spinal Decompression in Newport Coast, CA

Patients from Newport Coast, including those near Crystal Cove State Park, make the trip about 18 minutes from Newport Coast via CA-73 toll road at Newport Coast Dr for spinal decompression. We would rather you know what we can and cannot fix on visit one than sell you a 20-visit package you do not need.

Spinal Decompression is not a miracle. It helps when the problem is mechanical. If you have a red flag (new bowel or bladder changes, fever with back pain, unexplained weight loss, or weakness that is getting worse), we will not adjust first and ask later. Newport Coast patients get the same screening as everyone else.

How it works

Inside a spinal decompression session.

01

Precise segmental setup

We position the table to target the specific spinal segment causing your symptoms, in the cervical or lumbar spine.

02

Cyclical traction

The table applies a programmed pulling force that eases on and off, avoiding muscle guarding.

03

Rehydrate the disc

Negative pressure draws fluid, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc while relieving nerve compression.

04

Consolidate the change

We pair sessions with adjustments and rehab drills so the segment holds its new position between visits.
