What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy designed to gently stretch the spine and reduce pressure on spinal discs and surrounding nerves. This safe, controlled treatment helps create space between vertebrae, improving blood flow and allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach damaged discs for faster healing. At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness, your trusted chiropractor in New Braunfels, Texas, we use spinal decompression to address a variety of conditions, including herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and chronic back or neck pain. By relieving nerve irritation and easing pressure on the spine, spinal decompression promotes pain relief, restores mobility, and supports long-term spinal health, without surgery or extended downtime.

Who is a good candidate for spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression therapy is an excellent option for many people dealing with chronic back or neck pain caused by disc-related issues. Ideal candidates often include those with:

Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Sciatica or pinched nerves
Chronic lower back or neck pain
Spinal stenosis or facet joint problems

At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness, your trusted chiropractor in New Braunfels, we carefully evaluate each patient to determine whether spinal decompression is the right fit. While this therapy is safe and non-invasive, it may not be recommended for individuals with recent fractures, spinal fusion surgery, advanced osteoporosis, or certain medical conditions. A thorough evaluation ensures you receive the safest and most effective care for your unique needs.

What can I expect during a spinal decompression session?

During a spinal decompression session at Elite Chiropractic & Wellness in New Braunfels, you’ll remain fully clothed and comfortably positioned on a specialized decompression table. The therapy gently stretches and relaxes your spine in controlled cycles, relieving pressure on discs and nerves without discomfort.

A typical session lasts about 20–30 minutes, and many patients find the experience relaxing, some even doze off during treatment. Depending on your condition and goals, your chiropractor may recommend a series of sessions over several weeks for the best results. Because spinal decompression is non-surgical and non-invasive, there’s no downtime, you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
