Frequently Asked Questions
Answers before your visit
What is spinal decompression therapy?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that uses a specialized table to apply controlled traction to the spine. It may be considered for selected patients with certain back or neck complaints.
What conditions may be evaluated for decompression therapy?
People with disc-related symptoms, sciatica, back pain or neck pain may ask about decompression. Not everyone is a candidate, so an examination is important.
Is decompression therapy the same as surgery?
No. Spinal decompression therapy is non-surgical. It uses controlled mechanical traction rather than an operation.
Does spinal decompression hurt?
Treatment is designed to be controlled and comfortable, but experiences vary. Tell the clinician about any discomfort during a session.
How do I know if I am a candidate?
Schedule an evaluation. Your history, symptoms and examination help determine whether decompression is appropriate or whether another approach should be considered.
