What Is Spinal Decompression?
We use a variety of treatment techniques to care for our patients, one of the most common being spinal decompression therapy. For those unfamiliar, spinal decompression uses gentle traction to help relieve back pain.
The spine is made up of vertebrae that protect the nerves running through the spinal cord. These structures are essential, but they also need adequate space between them to function properly. When the vertebrae begin to compress, it can place pressure on the nerves and surrounding tissues, leading to discomfort and pain.
With spinal decompression, controlled traction is applied to the spine to gradually create more space between the vertebrae. This process helps reduce pressure on the discs and nerves, promoting relief and supporting the body’s natural healing process.

Spinal decompression can be beneficial in several situations, most commonly for individuals with a herniated disc. The vertebrae in your spine are separated by small discs that act as cushions. When one of these discs becomes damaged or bulges out of place, it can put pressure on nearby nerves, leading to significant pain.
By gently increasing the space between the vertebrae, spinal decompression helps relieve this pressure, allowing the affected area to settle and reducing nerve irritation.
This technique is also commonly used to address pinched nerves and other conditions related to spinal compression. As a result, spinal decompression plays an important role in many treatment plans aimed at relieving pain and restoring proper function.
