Spinal decompression therapy is most commonly used to address symptoms related to intervertebral disc injuries or degeneration. Damaged discs can produce deep, aching pain in the neck, shoulders, lower back, or legs. In many cases, bulging or herniated discs compress nearby nerves, leading to radiating symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning, “pins and needles,” or even weakness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.

Spinal Decompression Therapy: A Non-Surgical Solution for Disc-Related Pain
Spinal decompression therapy can be beneficial for people dealing with:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica (leg pain from pinched nerves)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic low back or neck pain
- Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
- Spinal stenosis
This gentle, non-surgical treatment helps relieve pressure on your spine, improving function and reducing pain.
How Decompression Therapy Helps
To support disc healing and reduce nerve irritation, we utilize advanced computerized spinal decompression therapy. This gentle, non-surgical technique is designed to relieve pressure on the discs and spinal nerves by restoring proper motion and hydration to the injured area.
The decompression table can be used to treat both neck and lower back conditions. Treatment consists of controlled, cyclic phases of gentle traction and relaxation. This rhythm helps reduce disc pressure, improve joint spacing, and promote the natural flow of nutrients, without triggering muscle guarding or spasms. The therapy is so relaxing that many patients find themselves dozing off during treatment.
A Modern, Targeted Approach to Disc Health
Computerized decompression therapy represents a state-of-the-art, conservative approach to managing disc-related conditions. It allows us to target the affected area with precision, reduce inflammation, relieve nerve compression, and accelerate your return to normal function, without the need for medication or invasive procedures.
Whether you’re experiencing symptoms from a herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, or nerve root irritation, decompression therapy can be a powerful tool in your recovery plan.
