Spinal Decompression

Motorized traction that creates space where your spine has lost it.

20-40min per session

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a form of motorized traction that eases pressure on discs and nerve roots.

You lie comfortably on a computer-controlled table that applies gentle, cyclical pulling forces to a specific segment of your spine. It’s one of the most reliable non-surgical options for herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic disc-related low-back pain.

How it works

Inside a spinal decompression session.

Precise segmental setup

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

Cyclical traction

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

Rehydrate the disc

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

Consolidate the change

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

Why patients ask for it

What you can expect to feel.

Relieves pressure on inflamed discs and nerve roots
Non-surgical, non-injected alternative for many disc cases
Comfortable enough that many patients fall asleep on the table
Complements adjusting and modalities for compounding results
Fully clothed, no downtime after sessions
Programs adapt to your response as we go

Is it right for you?

Who this helps.

Great for

Herniated or bulging lumbar discs
Classic sciatica with shooting or numb leg symptoms
Cervical disc pain with arm symptoms
Facet-joint syndrome that hasn’t responded to adjusting alone
Degenerative disc disease with stubborn low-back stiffness

Not right when

Spinal fractures or spinal hardware in the treated area
Advanced osteoporosis, tumors, or active infection
Pregnancy

If any of these apply we’ll build a plan around a different modality, and we’ll tell you why.

What to expect

Your first session.

Duration

20-40 min per session

Frequency

2-3 sessions per week in an active protocol

Prep

Wear comfortable clothing, no need to change.

Most patients feel a shift in the first three to five sessions and complete a full protocol in twelve to twenty-four visits over six to twelve weeks. We reassess constantly, if it’s not working we don’t just keep going, we change the plan.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is it safe?

Yes, when a proper exam has ruled out contraindications. The pull is gentle and controlled, not the aggressive traction people sometimes imagine.

Does it feel painful?

Almost never. Most patients describe it as one of the most relaxing parts of their treatment. Several fall asleep on the table.

Can it replace surgery?

For many disc-related cases, yes, we think a well-structured decompression protocol is worth trying before injections or surgery. If it doesn’t work, you haven’t burned any bridges.

How is this different from a chiropractic adjustment?

An adjustment restores motion at a specific joint. Decompression creates space and takes pressure off a disc or nerve. Most patients benefit from both together.
