How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a FDA-cleared therapy that uses a specialized motorized table to gently stretch the spine. This stretching creates negative intradiscal pressure — a vacuum effect within the spinal disc — that draws herniated or bulging disc material back toward the center of the disc. The therapy also promotes the flow of nutrients, oxygen, and water into the disc, supporting the natural healing process.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
- Herniated discs — Disc material that has ruptured through the outer wall and presses on nerves
- Bulging discs — Discs that have expanded beyond their normal boundary
- Sciatica — Leg pain caused by compression of the sciatic nerve
- Degenerative disc disease — Age-related deterioration of spinal discs
- Spinal stenosis — Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves
- Facet joint syndrome — Painful inflammation of the spinal facet joints
What to Expect During Treatment
Each spinal decompression session lasts approximately 30-45 minutes. You lie comfortably on the decompression table while the computerized system applies precisely calibrated traction forces to the targeted spinal segment. Most patients find the treatment relaxing — many even fall asleep during sessions. A typical treatment course involves 15-20 sessions over 5-7 weeks, often combined with chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy for optimal results.
