Alleviate Pain and Tension
Decompression therapy helps relieve pain and tension caused by spinal compression or pressure. We use a series of decompression therapy sessions to relieve chronic pain, and these sessions also work to improve mobility over time.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Many patients turn to therapeutic injections when physical therapy and chiropractic care alone haven’t provided enough relief. Unfortunately, injections rarely offer permanent results, leaving some patients to worry that spinal surgery is their only remaining option.
Spinal decompression therapy can postpone or prevent spinal surgery, including discectomy or spinal fusion procedures. Our patients are consistently pleased with how effectively this non-surgical treatment alleviates lower back pain. You may notice relief after just one session, but ongoing care is recommended for the best long-term results.
Who Can Benefit From Decompression Therapy
Decompression therapy is often recommended for patients dealing with herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and chronic back pain. We also offer decompression-based approaches specifically for headache relief and neuropathy-related nerve pain, in addition to our core spinal decompression therapy program.
Pairing Decompression With Other Services
Many patients combine decompression therapy with chiropractic care, laser therapy, or shockwave therapy for a more complete recovery plan. Explore our full list of chiropractic services or see the conditions we treat to learn more.
Frequently Asked Questions About Decompression Therapy

How many decompression therapy sessions will I need?
While some patients notice relief after a single session, ongoing sessions are typically recommended for lasting results. Your doctor will outline a recommended schedule based on your condition.
Can decompression therapy help me avoid spinal surgery?
For many patients, decompression therapy can postpone or prevent the need for spinal surgery, including procedures like discectomy or spinal fusion, by relieving pressure on the affected discs and nerves.
What conditions can decompression therapy treat?
Decompression therapy is commonly used to treat herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, chronic back pain, certain types of headaches, and neuropathy-related nerve pain.
Does decompression therapy hurt?
Most patients find decompression therapy comfortable, describing a gentle stretching sensation rather than pain.
How is decompression therapy different from a chiropractic adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment uses manual, hands-on techniques to restore joint alignment, while decompression therapy uses a specialized table to gently stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the discs and nerves. The two are often used together for a more complete treatment plan.
