Advanced Spinal Decompression for Disc and Nerve Issues

Spinal Decompression Therapy at The Spine Works Chiropractic

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that relieves pressure on compressed spinal discs and nerves. This advanced technology uses controlled traction to gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure within the disc. This negative pressure allows herniated or bulging disc material to retract, taking pressure off nerves and promoting nutrient-rich fluid flow to damaged discs.

At The Spine Works, we use state-of-the-art decompression equipment to treat conditions like herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. The treatment is comfortable, with most patients finding it relaxing. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, and many patients notice improvement after just a few treatments.

Dr. Farmer combines spinal decompression with chiropractic adjustments and corrective exercises for optimal results. This comprehensive approach not only relieves immediate pain but also strengthens supporting structures to prevent future problems. For patients who have been told surgery is their only option, spinal decompression often provides an effective alternative.

What It Helps

Conditions Spinal Decompression Helps With

Decompression is our go-to therapy when disc pressure is the root of the problem. These are the conditions we most often treat with it.

Herniated Disc Decompression

Gentle negative pressure creates space between vertebrae, encouraging herniated disc material to retract away from irritated nerves.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Relieving compression gives worn discs room to rehydrate, easing the stiffness and ache of disc degeneration.
