What is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that uses a motorized table to slowly stretch the spine. This may reduce pressure on spinal discs and nearby nerves, which can contribute to pain, numbness, and tingling. You stay fully clothed and comfortable throughout.

Who May Benefit?

Spinal decompression is commonly used for people dealing with:

​

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Sciatica

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Chronic low back or neck pain

  • Pinched nerves

Not everyone is a candidate. Dr. Wahlrab will examine you first to see if it's appropriate.

What to Expect

1. Exam and consultation: a review of your history and symptoms, plus imaging if needed (bring your MRI disc/report or x-rays if you have them)

 

2. Personalized plan: your recommended number of visits and any supporting care.

​

3. Treatment sessions: each visit lasts about 35 minutes. Most people find them relaxing.
