Spinal decompression is a gentle, non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure in the spine. It is often used for people dealing with back pain caused by herniated or bulging discs. This therapy helps reduce pain, improve movement and support the body’s natural healing process without surgery or medication.


Spinal decompression uses a specialized table and computer-guided system to stretch and relax the spine in a slow, controlled way. The system is carefully adjusted to match your condition and comfort level. As the spine is gently stretched, space is created between the vertebrae.
This process helps reduce pressure on the discs and nerves. Over time, the disc material can move back into place, easing pain and irritation. When nerve pressure is reduced, symptoms such as back pain, leg pain or sciatica may improve.
Spinal decompression is often used to support relief from:
When disc material presses on nearby nerves, it can cause pain, weakness or numbness in the body.
A bulging disc occurs when the disc pushes outward, placing pressure on nearby nerves and tissues.
Sciatic pain often starts in the lower back and travels down the leg due to nerve irritation.
Ongoing back pain can limit movement and affect daily comfort when the spine is under constant stress.
Compressed nerves in the spine may cause pain, tingling or weakness in different areas of the body.
Each session lasts about twenty minutes. You lie comfortably while the system gently guides your spine through cycles of stretching and relaxation. The process is supervised by trained staff to ensure safety and comfort throughout the session.
Treatment plans vary based on your condition. Many patients receive care several times per week and complete their plan within a few weeks. Progress is monitored and adjusted as your body responds to care.

Spinal decompression offers an alternative to surgery or pain medication. Instead of covering up symptoms, it works to address the cause of the problem. If you are living with ongoing back pain or disc issues, spinal decompression may help restore comfort and improve your quality of life.
