So what is spinal decompression therapy?

Screen-Shot-2019-06-04-at-6.57.05-pm-300×170

Spinal decompression gently stretches the spinal joints using a mechanically-assisted traction machine. The stretch is slow and gradual, carefully increasing pressure over time to relieve stress on discs and nerves.

Our trained chiropractors set the machine to the perfect tension for your treatment, and you are always in control there’s a precautionary stop button so you can pause the session at any time.

Particular cases that may seek this type of treatment include:

  • Lower back pain
  • Neck Pain
  • Joint Stiffness
  • Muscle tension and stiffness

If you’re concerned that spinal decompression is not suitable for you, feel free to call our Chiropractors via 1300 123 365 and discuss your clinical complaint.

Is There Evidence To Support Spinal Decompression?

  • Faster pain relief for sciatica & disc injuries – A clinical trial found patients with lumbar disc-related nerve pain had significantly less pain and better movement when decompression was added to their physiotherapy program compared to exercise alone. Read the study ›¹

  • Better neck pain outcomes – For cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck), research shows adding decompression/traction to exercise leads to greater short-term pain reduction and improved function than exercise alone. See details ›³

  • Safe & drug-free – No injections, no surgery, no downtime, just gentle stretching to reduce disc and nerve pressure.

What Does A Spinal Decompression Session Involve?

Typically, patients come to us suffering from lower back pain or neck pain. There’s no need to remove clothing during a session.

During treatment, you lie on a mechanical decompression table. A small strap is placed around your pelvis for lower back issues, ensuring movement comes from the spine not the pelvis. Table designs vary, so you may lie face up or face down depending on the model.

You’ll feel a gentle, rhythmic stretch as the machine works to relieve pressure on your discs and nerves. For neck treatments, a strap is placed under the base of your head to target the cervical spine.

Our chiropractors are trained to adjust the tension specifically for your body, and you are always in control a precautionary stop button lets you pause the session at any time.
