01About the technique

What is spinal decompression?

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a therapeutic treatment that gently stretches the spine using a traction table or similar motorized device. The goal is to relieve back and neck pain and create the ideal environment for injured discs to heal.

As the spine is gently stretched, negative pressure forms within the disc. That change can help draw bulging or herniated disc material back toward its proper position, taking pressure off nearby nerves. It also improves the flow of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the disc so it can recover more effectively.

It’s a cornerstone of our practice for patients who want real relief from disc-related pain without the risks and downtime of surgery.
