Decompression FAQ

Low back pain can come from injury, aging, disc herniation, disc degeneration, muscle strain, joint irritation, and nerve pressure. A consultation helps narrow the cause before treatment begins.

Many patients report reduced pain within the first several sessions, with more meaningful improvement often occurring during the second week of care.

Treatment sessions commonly last 30 to 45 minutes. The full schedule depends on the exam findings, diagnosis, and care plan recommended by the doctor.

Candidates may include adults with herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc pain, sciatica, or persistent pain after conservative care. The doctors review your history to confirm whether it is appropriate.

Patients with recent fracture, certain surgical hardware, pregnancy, cancer, severe osteoporosis, spinal infection, or other complicating conditions may not qualify.

Decompression uses controlled positioning and force patterns intended to reduce disc pressure and encourage movement of fluid and nutrients into the disc.

For properly selected patients, decompression is designed to be gentle and comfortable. The system includes stop controls for the patient and operator.
