Spinal Decompression faq
General Questions
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine by gently stretching it. This process creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, promoting rehydration and healing of injured or degenerated discs.
The therapy involves lying on a specialized table that uses controlled mechanical traction to stretch the spine. This movement reduces pressure on compressed nerves and discs, allowing oxygen, water, and nutrients to flow back into the discs for natural healing.
Yes, spinal decompression is a safe, FDA-cleared therapy. It is non-invasive and designed to provide relief without the risks associated with surgery or medication.
A typical session lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the condition being treated and the customized treatment plan prescribed.
Most treatment plans include 18 sessions over 6 to 9 weeks (3 times a week for 6 weeks or 2 times a week for 9 weeks). However, the exact number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition and how well your body responds to the therapy.
This therapy is ideal for individuals suffering from:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica (radiating leg pain)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic lower back or neck pain
- Facet syndrome
- Spinal stenosis
- Pinched nerves
- Pregnant women
- Patients with severe osteoporosis
- Individuals with spinal fractures, tumors, or infections
- Patients who have had spinal fusion with metal implants
- People with severe nerve damage or advanced disc degeneration

Effectiveness & Benefits
Yes! Studies and clinical research show that spinal decompression can significantly reduce pain and improve function for patients with disc-related conditions. Many patients report noticeable improvement within a few sessions.
While individual results vary, most patients experience pain relief, increased mobility, and reduced inflammation. Some notice immediate relief, while others experience gradual improvement over the course of treatment.
Yes, to maintain results, we recommend periodic maintenance sessions (typically four per year) and incorporating chiropractic care, stretching, and strengthening exercises into your routine.
With proper post-treatment care—including chiropractic adjustments, strengthening exercises, and lifestyle modifications—results can be long-lasting. However, maintaining a healthy spine is an ongoing process.
Yes! By relieving pressure on spinal discs and nerves, spinal decompression can help restore natural spinal alignment, leading to better posture over time.
During & After Treatment
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Avoid tight waistbands, belts, or restrictive clothing that may interfere with the harness placement.
Most patients can continue their daily activities but should avoid heavy lifting or high-impact exercises during their treatment program.
Some patients experience mild soreness or stiffness after the first few treatments, similar to how you might feel after a deep stretch or workout. This is normal and usually resolves within a day or two.
Yes! Many patients experience enhanced results when combining spinal decompression with chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, shockwave therapy, and Pilates for core strengthening.
