Decompression Therapy

Whether you are dealing with a herniated disc, chronic sciatica, or severe lower back stiffness, spinal decompression gently relieves deep disc pressure to calm pinched nerves and restore your daily mobility.

What is Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy uses a state-of-the-art traction machine to gently stretch your spine in precise, controlled cycles. By creating a subtle vacuum effect inside your spinal discs, it relieves pressure on pinched nerves and draws oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids directly into damaged tissue. 

It works as an advanced add-on alongside your chiropractic adjustments to address the root cause of chronic back and neck pain while promoting natural disc repair.

How Decompression Fits Into Your Care

Spinal decompression therapy is available as an advanced add-on service for our existing chiropractic patients. It integrates directly into your custom care plan to relieve nerve pressure, hydrate spinal discs, and restore mobility alongside your routine adjustments.

1

Pairs with your adjustments

Gentle traction opens up tight spinal joints and relieves pressure on nerves, allowing your chiropractic adjustments to hold longer and restore ease of movement.

2

Promotes disc hydration & repair

Controlled decompression cycles create negative pressure inside damaged spinal discs, pulling oxygen, water, and essential nutrients inward to support natural healing.

3

Targeted by your chiropractor

Because decompression is integrated into your ongoing care plan, our doctors customize machine angles and tension levels to target your specific disc or nerve pain.

Most Common Decompression Questions

Have questions about how spinal decompression relieves deep disc pressure? Explore our most common FAQs below to learn how decompoerssion therapy creates space for pinched nerves and helps your spine heal naturally.

Does spinal decompression therapy hurt?
No, spinal decompression is gentle and relaxing. Most patients feel a light, soothing stretch along their spine, and many even fall asleep during their treatment sessions.
How does decompression help herniated or bulging discs?
By applying precise, computer-guided traction, decompression creates negative pressure inside your spinal discs. This helps draw bulging tissue back into place while pulling oxygen and nutrient-rich fluids in to speed up natural disc healing.
How long does a spinal decompression session take?
Each decompression session typically lasts around 15 to 30 minutes, making it easy to integrate alongside your routine chiropractic adjustments or targeted soft-tissue care.
Is decompression paired with chiropractic care?
Yes! Opening up compressed spinal spaces allows gentle chiropractic adjustments to realign joints more effectively, while relieving active nerve pressure so your spinal corrections hold longer.
What conditions benefit most from spinal decompression?
Decompression is ideal for bulging or herniated discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, degenerative disc disease, and chronic lower back or neck stiffness that hasn't responded well to basic stretching.
Do I need an evaluation before starting decompression?
Yes. We perform a thorough spinal and neurological assessment prior to treatment to ensure non-surgical decompression is safe, appropriate, and tailored specifically to your spinal health.
