Overview
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical traction therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. By gently stretching the spine, this therapy creates negative intradiscal pressure, allowing herniated or bulging discs to retract, improving nutrient and oxygen flow to the affected area.
This FDA-recognized treatment is highly effective for conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic lumbar or cervical pain. Our clinic uses modern motorized decompression tables for precise, controlled treatment.
Treatment Process
Diagnostic Evaluation
Review of imaging (MRI/X-ray), physical examination, and assessment of nerve function to determine if decompression is appropriate for your condition.
Treatment Protocol Design
A customized decompression protocol is created including force levels, angle of pull, duration, and number of sessions based on your specific disc pathology.
Decompression Session
You lie comfortably on the motorized traction table while the device gently stretches and relaxes the spine in cycles. Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes.
Complementary Modalities
Sessions may be combined with heat, cold, or electrical stimulation before or after decompression to enhance results and reduce muscle guarding.
Progressive Rehabilitation
As disc health improves, we integrate core strengthening and flexibility exercises to support the spine and prevent recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, spinal decompression is generally pain-free. Most patients find it comfortable and relaxing. You may feel a gentle stretching sensation in your spine during treatment.
A typical treatment plan involves 15–30 sessions over 4–8 weeks. The exact number depends on the severity of your condition and how well you respond to treatment.
Yes, many patients who were recommended for surgery found relief through spinal decompression therapy. It is a proven non-surgical option for disc-related conditions.
Patients with spinal fractures, spinal tumors, severe osteoporosis, metal implants in the spine, or pregnant women should not undergo spinal decompression. We screen every patient thoroughly.
