Gentle traction that lets the disc heal itself.
Spinal decompression uses a motorized table to apply gentle, cyclical traction to the spine — creating negative pressure inside the disc that draws herniated or bulging material back toward the center and relieves nerve compression. No surgery. No downtime. Many patients find the sessions relaxing.

From Louisiana Tech and Grambling students hunched over laptops, to athletes, to anyone who's taken a hit on I-20 — we see the patterns this part of the state lives with.

Is spinal decompression a surgery?
No. Spinal decompression is a completely non-surgical, non-invasive therapy. You lie on a motorized table while it gently stretches the spine in controlled cycles — no incisions, no anesthesia, no recovery period.
The table is in Monroe — is the drive worth it?
About 35 minutes east on I-20. The decompression table requires specialized equipment that is not available at every clinic in North Louisiana. Most Ruston patients who make that drive are doing so to avoid a surgical consultation — and many succeed. We keep same-day slots so the drive is the only wait.
Does insurance cover spinal decompression?
Coverage varies by plan. Some major insurance plans cover spinal decompression as part of chiropractic care. Auto insurance often covers disc injuries from accident claims. Our staff verifies your benefits before treatment begins so there are no surprises.
