Frequently Asked Questions
The human spine is composed of dozens of bones that are stacked on top of each other. These bones are positioned and cushioned by a gel-like disc that is known as the intervertebral disc. If there is a repetitive movement of the spine or continuous poor posture, it will usually cause the joints surrounding the spine to deteriorate, which affects the intervertebral disc.
Decompression provides relief by using a traction table to stretch the spine and relieve pressure. This procedure helps to heal the back pain, allowing the spine to experience proper positioning and improving blood flow and nutrient exchange to the affected area.
How does spinal decompression therapy work?
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to change its force and position. This change takes the pressure off the spinal discs by creating negative pressure in the disc. It leads the bulging or herniated discs to retract, removing pressure from the nerves and other structures in your spine. As a result, it helps to encourage the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, allowing them to heal.
What conditions can spinal decompression treat?
- Bulging discs
- Degenerative discs
- Herniated discs
- Pinched nerves
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis

- Worn spinal joints
How is spinal decompression therapy performed?
During your therapy session, you will be fully clothed. In the beginning, your chiropractor will fit you with a harness that goes around your pelvis and another around your torso. You will either lie face down or face up on a computer-controlled table.
The upper half of your body remains fixed, while the lower half is moved when a highly specialized computer activates the mechanized table. Your chiropractor will operate the computer to enter the parameters and relieve pressure from your spine, customizing the treatment to your unique needs.
Treatment can last anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes. Depending on your specific condition and severity, the number of treatments and course of care defer.
Before or after therapy, you may have to undergo other types of treatment to maximize results, such as:
- Electrical stimulation: Electric current that causes certain muscles to contract.
- Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to create heat and encourage healing.
- Heat or cold therapy:Heat therapy alleviates pain, reduces muscle spasms, and improves flexibility. Cold therapy provides relief and accelerates the body’s natural healing processes.
