What Is Spinal Decompression?

If you’ve been dealing with ongoing back or neck pain, a disc bulge, herniation or nerve-related symptoms such as sciatica, you may have heard of spinal decompression. Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses a specialised table to gently and carefully apply controlled cycles of loading and unloading to a targeted area of the spine.

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

Treatment is individually tailored to your condition, symptoms and tolerance. The gentle decompression cycles are designed to reduce mechanical stress through the affected area of the spine and may help reduce irritation around sensitive spinal structures. The goal is to help improve comfort, movement and your ability to get back to everyday activities.

Who May Benefit?

Spinal decompression may be considered for people experiencing disc bulges or herniations, degenerative disc changes, sciatica, nerve-related leg symptoms, persistent lower back pain, or persistent neck pain. Not everyone is suitable for spinal decompression, so your condition, medical history and symptoms are carefully assessed before treatment. Where available, relevant MRI, CT or X-ray reports can also assist with treatment planning.

Does Spinal Decompression Involve Chiropractic Adjustments?

No. Spinal decompression can be provided as a stand-alone therapy, meaning manual chiropractic adjustments or spinal manipulation are not required. Treatment is performed fully clothed and uses a gentle, controlled approach tailored to your individual needs.
