Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Gentle, controlled spinal traction for appropriate disc and nerve-related symptoms. We start with an evaluation to see whether decompression makes sense for you.
Gentle traction. Less pressure on the spine.
The table applies controlled traction to gently stretch the spine and reduce pressure on discs and nearby structures.
Dr. Conner adjusts the position and settings to your body, symptoms and comfort.
Common reasons we evaluate someone for decompression.
These symptoms can have different causes, so an exam comes first.
Bulging or Herniated Discs
Disc irritation may contribute to back, neck, arm or leg symptoms.
Sciatica
Leg pain, numbness or tingling can sometimes involve an irritated nerve.
Degenerative Disc Changes
Chronic disc-related stiffness or discomfort may be evaluated for decompression.
Pinched Nerve Symptoms
Radiating arm or leg symptoms may point to nerve irritation in the spine.
The right treatment starts with the right evaluation.
Decompression is useful only when it fits the reason behind your symptoms.
Back pain and leg symptoms can come from the same area.
A disc can irritate a nearby nerve and create pain, numbness or tingling farther down the leg.
Treatment should feel controlled, not aggressive.
Traction is introduced gradually and can be adjusted at any point for your comfort.
Evaluation first.
Decompression second.
We make sure the treatment fits before recommending it.
Talk through your symptoms.
We review where it hurts, how long it has been there and what you have tried.
Evaluate the problem.
Your exam helps us look for signs of disc or nerve involvement.
Tailor the treatment.
Positioning and traction are adjusted to your body and comfort.
No one-size-fits-all settings.
"I try to meet each patient where they are and be open and honest with them."
Dr. Conner evaluates whether decompression fits your symptoms and adjusts the plan around your response.
Good questions
deserve clear answers.
Not sure whether decompression fits your symptoms? Call or text us.
It is controlled spinal traction designed to gently unload the treated area of the spine. An exam helps determine whether it is appropriate for you.
Treatment is intended to feel controlled and comfortable. If a setting is uncomfortable, it can be adjusted.
Disc-related symptoms are one reason decompression may be considered, but not every disc finding needs decompression. We evaluate your symptoms, exam findings and relevant imaging before making a recommendation.
There is no single schedule for everyone. Recommendations depend on your exam, symptoms and response to care.
No. The $57 New Patient Special is for the chiropractic new-patient visit and does not apply to spinal decompression. Please contact the office for decompression consultation and pricing information.
Decompression is a non-surgical option that may be appropriate for some patients, but it is not a replacement for medical or surgical care when those are needed. If your presentation requires a different level of care, we will tell you.
