Spinal Decompression

A gentle, non-surgical traction therapy for lasting relief from neck and back pain.

How it works

Relieving pressure, restoring healing

Spinal decompression uses our decompression tables to gently stretch the spine, taking pressure off compressed discs and nerves. This creates a negative pressure within the disc that can help retract herniated or bulging disc material and draw in fluids, nutrients, and oxygen needed for healing. It’s a comfortable, non-invasive alternative for patients dealing with neck pain, lower back pain, pain radiating into the arms or legs, and sciatica.

What to expect

Your decompression visit

You’ll lie comfortably on our decompression table while a controlled, gentle pulling force is applied and released in cycles. Most patients find the treatment relaxing, and sessions typically last 15–20 minutes. A treatment plan is built around your specific condition and may be combined with chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, or corrective exercises for the best results.
