What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that relieves back pain and other neurological symptoms caused by a herniated disc putting pressure on the spinal nerves, and even on the spinal cord.

It works by reducing the pressure inside the affected disc and helping fluids, nutrients and oxygen move back into it. That can reposition a herniated disc and take the pressure off the affected nerves.

Our table pairs that traction with therapeutic laser. The laser is applied to the same area during your session, while the disc is under less pressure, to support the tissue as it recovers.

What happens to the disc

Why patients choose it

Pain relief

Spinal decompression relieves pain and other symptoms caused by spinal nerve compression.

Improved mobility

Improved mobility and range of motion as a result of restored disc function and relieved pressure on the spinal nerves.

Non-invasive

A treatment that does not involve surgery.

Low risk

Well tolerated with minimal side effects, which makes it a low risk treatment option.

Cost effective

A more affordable alternative to surgery and other invasive treatments.
