At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness, we are always looking for ways to better serve our patients and help them achieve lasting relief from pain. That’s why we are excited to announce that Spinal Decompression Therapy will now be available at our office starting this October!


If you’ve been struggling with chronic back or neck pain, herniated discs, or sciatica, spinal decompression could be the solution you’ve been searching for. In this post, we’ll explain what spinal decompression therapy is, how it works, and who may benefit the most from it.


What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, gentle treatment that uses a specialized table to slowly stretch and release the spine in a controlled manner. This process helps relieve pressure on the spinal discs, improves circulation, and promotes healing of injured or degenerated areas.


Unlike traditional traction, decompression therapy is designed to target specific spinal levels and create a vacuum effect inside the discs. This allows nutrients, oxygen, and fluids to flow back into the disc, supporting recovery and reducing inflammation.


Conditions Spinal Decompression Can Help With

Many people live with daily pain that stems from spinal disc problems or nerve irritation. Spinal decompression therapy has been shown to help with a variety of conditions, including:

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Sciatica (nerve pain that radiates into the legs)

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Chronic neck or low back pain

  • Disc-related injuries from accidents or repetitive stress


If you’ve tried other treatments without much success, spinal decompression may provide the relief you’ve been missing.


Benefits of Spinal Decompression

Patients often notice improvements after just a few sessions, though results vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Pain relief – Reduces pressure on irritated nerves.

  • Improved mobility – Restores flexibility and range of motion.

  • Enhanced healing – Promotes the body’s natural ability to repair discs.

  • Drug-free solution – Offers an alternative to medication or surgery.

  • Long-term relief – Supports healthier spine function for the future.


What to Expect During a Session

A typical spinal decompression session is comfortable and relaxing. You’ll lie on a specialized decompression table, where gentle traction will be applied to your spine in cycles of stretching and relaxation. Most patients describe the treatment as soothing, and many even find it comparable to a light massage.

Sessions generally last between 20 to 30 minutes, and treatment plans are personalized to fit each patient’s condition and health goals.


Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?

The best way to know if spinal decompression therapy is right for you is to schedule a consultation at Elite Chiropractic & Wellness. During your visit, we’ll perform a thorough evaluation and discuss whether decompression should be part of your care plan. While this therapy is safe for many people, it may not be appropriate for individuals with certain conditions, such as severe osteoporosis, fractures, or recent spinal surgery.
