Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on compressed spinal discs and nerves. It gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure inside the discs, which helps pull herniated or bulging disc material back into place and promotes the flow of nutrients, oxygen, and fluids into the affected area.

Spinal Decompression treatments are commonly used for:

- Herniated or bulging discs

- Degenerative disc disease

- Sciatica

- Spinal stenosis

- Chronic lower back or neck pain

- Facet joint syndrome

Yes, spinal decompression therapy is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified provider on the right candidates. It's non-invasive, drug-free, and has a low risk profile compared to surgical alternatives.

A typical session includes:

• A health assessment and discussion of symptoms

• Physical examination, possibly including X-rays

• Spinal decompression treatment

• Personalized recommendations for posture, stretches, or exercises

No, spinal decompression generally does not hurt. Most patients describe it as comfortable — some even find it relaxing enough to fall asleep during the session.

The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated. Some patients experience relief after one or two visits, while others with chronic conditions may need ongoing care.
