In the Office
A calm, table-based session
Every session takes place on a dedicated decompression table in a quiet treatment room — no needles, no incisions, just a slow, controlled stretch while you relax.
What It Is
A controlled stretch, not a quick crack.
During a session, you lie face-up or face-down on a specialized table that applies a slow, controlled traction force along the spine. The goal is to reduce mechanical loading in a targeted area and create a more comfortable environment for movement and recovery.
It's a far cry from a standard adjustment: sessions are slow, quiet, and typically run 20–30 minutes, with the table doing the work while you relax. See exactly how the negative-pressure mechanism works →
Why Patients Choose Decompression

- 2No medication involved — the relief comes from mechanics, not drugs
- 3Works on both the neck (cervical) and lower back (lumbar)
- 4Begins with an individual evaluation rather than a preset treatment package
Conditions
Conditions commonly evaluated for decompression
Decompression may be considered when an examination suggests that disc or nerve-related mechanical pressure is contributing to symptoms. It is not appropriate for every person or every condition.
Nerve Pain
Sciatica & lumbar radiculopathy
Leg pain, tingling, or numbness may occur when a nerve in the lower back is irritated or compressed.
Explore this condition →Disc Changes
Degenerative disc disease
Changes in disc cushioning may contribute to recurring stiffness, restricted movement, or pain.
Explore this condition →Spinal Narrowing
Spinal stenosis
Narrowing around spinal nerves may contribute to pain, heaviness, or tingling while standing or walking.
Explore this condition →Neck & Nerve
Cervical radiculopathy
Neck nerve irritation may produce symptoms into the shoulder, arm, or hand.
Explore this condition →Spinal Joints
Facet joint syndrome
Irritated spinal joints can contribute to localized pain, stiffness, or discomfort with movement.
Explore this condition →Neck & Back
Ongoing neck & low-back pain
An evaluation can help determine whether disc or nerve mechanics may be contributing.
After Surgery
Post-surgical spinal pain
New or ongoing symptoms after surgery require careful screening before treatment is considered.
Is It Right For You?
Signs Decompression May Be Worth Exploring
Not every ache is disc-related, which is why every plan starts with an evaluation rather than a standard protocol. You may be a candidate if you're dealing with:
- •Pain that travels into the arms or legs, or shooting sciatica
- •Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
- •Chronic neck or low-back pain that worsens with sitting
- •An MRI-confirmed bulging or herniated disc, or degenerative disc disease
A Combined Approach
Rarely just one therapy on its own
Depending on what your evaluation shows, decompression is often paired with chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitation exercises, posture correction, and lifestyle guidance — built around your case rather than a fixed package.
The goal isn't a few days of relief. It's identifying what's actually driving the pain and building a plan around it, so the improvement holds.

Quick Answers
Frequently asked questions
Does spinal decompression hurt?
No — the stretch is slow and controlled, and most patients find sessions relaxing. You can speak up at any point and the pull is adjusted immediately.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies by condition, examination findings, and response to care. After your evaluation, the clinical team will explain the recommended schedule and how progress will be reassessed.
Is this the same as a regular chiropractic adjustment?
No. An adjustment is a quick, hands-on manipulation. Decompression is a slow, sustained table-based stretch aimed specifically at reducing pressure inside the disc itself.
Who should avoid this therapy?
Decompression isn't right for every condition. Your first visit includes a review of your health history and an examination, with imaging when clinically appropriate, to determine whether it may be a suitable option.
