Advanced Spinal Decompression for Disc and Nerve Issues
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.

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.
Learn More →Bulging Disc Treatment
Decompression cycles take pressure off a bulging disc so it can draw in the fluid and nutrients it needs to heal.
Learn More →Degenerative Disc Disease
Relieving compression gives worn discs room to rehydrate, easing the stiffness and ache of disc degeneration.
Learn More →Spinal Stenosis
Computer-controlled traction opens narrowed spaces in the spine, reducing the nerve pressure behind stenosis symptoms.
Learn More →Chronic Low Back Pain
When low back pain keeps returning, decompression targets the disc pressure that adjustments alone may not resolve.
Learn More →Cervical Disc Herniation
The cervical setup gently unloads neck discs, addressing pain that radiates into the shoulders and arms.
Learn More →Lumbar Disc Herniation
Targeted lumbar traction relieves the disc pressure behind sciatica and radiating leg pain.
