Restore Comfort, Reduce Pain, and Improve Mobility
At Evolve Chiropractic, we offer decompression therapy to gently stretch the spine, relieving pressure on discs and nerves. This non-invasive treatment helps patients struggling with chronic back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, and degenerative spinal disc conditions regain comfort and mobility without surgery or medication.
Whether you’re seeking relief from persistent discomfort or looking for a long-term solution to spinal health, our approach provides a safe, effective path to pain relief and recovery.
What Is Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression treatment is a specialized therapy that reduces pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, allowing for pain relief, increased mobility, and improved circulation to damaged areas. By using a traction-based system, spinal decompression therapy creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging bulging or herniated material to retract and promoting better nutrient absorption for healing.
Unlike a general chiropractic adjustment that focuses on joint alignment, decompression therapy directly targets spinal discs to relieve pressure and restore proper function. Itās often recommended for individuals who experience persistent nerve compression, radiating pain, or mobility restrictions due to spinal issues.
A major advantage of decompression therapy with a chiropractor is that it serves as a non-surgical alternative to invasive procedures. Many patients seek it as a first-line treatment before considering options like spinal injections or surgery, finding relief without the risks and recovery time associated with more aggressive interventions.
Our Approach to Decompression Therapy
At our practice, we personalize decompression therapy sessions based on each patient’s unique spinal condition and overall health. Our comprehensive approach includes:
- Detailed Assessments ā We begin with an in-depth evaluation, using posture checks and imaging when needed to determine whether decompression is the right option.
- Customized Table Settings ā Our advanced spinal decompression table allows for precise adjustments in traction intensity, duration, and angle, targeting specific disc levels based on each patientās needs.
- Complementary Treatments ā To enhance decompression results, we may incorporate manual chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, or soft tissue techniques to address muscle tension and joint misalignment.
Each session is designed for comfort, gradually easing pressure on compressed nerves while promoting long-term spinal health.

Benefits of Decompression Therapy
Patients seeking relief from back and neck pain often find decompression therapy highly effective, particularly for conditions caused by disc issues. The key benefits of this treatment include:
- Pain Relief & Healing ā By reducing nerve pressure, decompression therapy alleviates radiating pain, numbness, and tingling, while improving blood and oxygen flow to injured discs.
- Non-Surgical Alternative ā This approach is ideal for patients looking for a conservative, non-invasive solution before exploring surgical options.
- Improved Mobility & Function ā Freed nerve roots and rehydrated spinal discs support better range of motion and spinal flexibility, helping patients move more comfortably in daily life.
- Reduced Dependence on Medication ā Many patients prefer decompression therapy as a drug-free option for pain management, avoiding the side effects of long-term medication use.
By addressing disc-related pain at its source, decompression therapy helps restore spinal function and prevent future complications.
Conditions and Patient Types
Decompression therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing:
- Herniated & Bulging Discs ā Helps retract displaced disc material, reducing pressure on surrounding nerves.
- Sciatica & Nerve Compression ā Relieves radiating leg pain caused by compressed nerve roots.
- Degenerative Disc Disease ā Slows progression by improving hydration and nutrient absorption in spinal discs.
- Chronic Neck & Lower Back Pain ā Ideal for patients with long-term disc-related discomfort.
While this therapy is safe for many patients, those with severe osteoporosis, spinal implants, or recent spinal surgeries may require alternative treatments. Our chiropractors carefully assess each case to create a safe and effective care plan.
Who Benefits Most?
Many individuals find decompression therapy life-changing, including:
- Seniors with degenerative changes ā Helps ease stiffness and discomfort caused by age-related spinal wear.
- Office workers with poor posture ā Long hours at a desk contribute to spinal compression, making this treatment a great option for posture correction and pain relief.
- Athletes with disc strain ā Sports and high-impact activities often lead to spinal stress, and decompression therapy supports faster recovery.
- Postpartum mothers with lingering low back discomfort ā Pregnancy and childbirth put immense strain on the lower back, and decompression therapy can aid in reducing postnatal spinal stress and promoting recovery.
Patients of all activity levels can experience the benefits of decompression therapy, making it a valuable option for anyone seeking long-term spinal health.

Typical Session Experience & Timeline
Each decompression therapy session lasts 15 to 30 minutes, with patients lying comfortably on a motorized table designed to gently stretch the spine. The process includes:
- Positioning & Setup ā The patient is secured in a comfortable harness that controls the angle and intensity of the traction.
- Cyclical Decompression ā The table alternates between gentle pulling and relaxation phases, creating negative pressure within the spine to promote disc retraction and healing.
- Mild Post-Treatment Soreness ā Some patients may experience slight soreness as their muscles and ligaments adjust to decompression.
Treatment Timeline
- Frequency: Most patients begin with 3 sessions per week, with adjustments based on progress.
- Total Duration: A series of 4-6 weeks is often recommended for optimal results, though individual timelines vary.
- Post-Treatment Care: Patients receive guidance on hydration, stretching, and posture correction to enhance recovery between sessions.
By committing to consistent chiropractic care, patients experience significant relief and long-term improvements in spinal health.
