Non-surgical decompression therapy designed to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves.
Non-Surgical Therapy
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure on spinal discs, creating space that can relieve pressure on pinched nerves and promote the movement of fluid, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc. It is a non-surgical option frequently considered for herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and chronic sciatica.
Dr. Larsen evaluates whether spinal decompression is appropriate based on your specific imaging and exam findings, and it is often combined with manual chiropractic adjustment for a complete treatment plan.
A Closer Look
Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?
Not every back or neck condition calls for spinal decompression. Dr. Larsen determines candidacy based on your exam findings and imaging — it's most often considered for patients with a confirmed herniated or bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, or chronic sciatica that hasn't responded to adjustment alone.
A typical course involves a series of sessions on a specialized table that gently and incrementally stretches the spine, rather than a single treatment. Progress is checked along the way, and the plan is adjusted — or a referral made — based on how you respond.
