About This Service

Spinal decompression therapy uses mechanical traction to gently stretch the spine, creating negative intradiscal pressure that draws herniated disc material back toward the center and promotes healing. It is an effective non-surgical treatment for disc herniations, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis.

Treatment is delivered using a specialized traction device or manual techniques by your therapist. The forces applied are carefully controlled and adjusted based on your comfort and response. Most patients find the treatment comfortable and report immediate relief from radiating pain.

A typical course of treatment involves 15–20 sessions over 4–6 weeks, combined with core strengthening exercises to support long-term spinal health.
