Spinal Decompression
Therapy
Find relief from herniated discs, bulging discs, and sciatica without surgery. Our non-invasive spinal decompression therapy helps your spine heal naturally.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, motorized traction treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed spinal discs and nerves.
This controlled stretching creates negative pressure within the disc, which can help:
- Retract herniated or bulging disc material back into place
- Promote the flow of healing nutrients and oxygen to the disc
- Relieve pressure on pinched nerves causing pain
- Create an optimal healing environment for the disc
Treatment Benefits
Conditions We Treat
Spinal decompression therapy can provide relief for many disc-related conditions
Herniated Discs
When the soft inner material of a disc pushes through the outer layer, causing nerve pressure and pain.
Bulging Discs
When a disc extends beyond its normal boundary, potentially pressing on nearby nerves.
Sciatica
Pain radiating from the lower back down through the leg, often caused by disc problems.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related wear and tear on spinal discs causing chronic pain and stiffness.
Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Facet Syndrome
Pain originating from the small joints in the spine that can refer to other areas.
