What Is Chiropractic Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, controlled method of gently stretching the spine, most commonly using a specialised traction table monitored by a trained chiropractor. The goal? To reduce unwanted pressure on spinal discs and nerves—providing relief from symptoms caused by disc bulges, nerve compression, and more, while giving your body a chance to heal naturally.
- Improve Disc Alignment: Traction creates negative pressure to help retract herniated or bulging discs.
- Boost Nutrient Flow: The mild “vacuum” effect promotes circulation of blood and nutrients, aiding repair of disc tissue.
- Relieve Nerve Pressure: By decompressing the spine, pressure is taken off the nerves, often offering quick and noticeable symptom relief.
- Non-Invasive: Unlike surgery, there are no cuts, scars, or extensive healing times—sessions are designed for comfort and safety.

How Does Spinal Decompression Therapy Work?
-
Initial Assessment:
- We begin with a thorough case history and examination (sometimes including in-house chiropractic X-ray imaging if advised) to pinpoint your underlying issue.
-
Treatment Sessions:
- You’re comfortably positioned on a computerised decompression table.
- A harness is placed around the pelvis or chest—depending on the area being treated (neck or low back).
- The table applies gentle, rhythmic traction and relaxation cycles, carefully controlled by your practitioner for comfort.
- Each session typically lasts 15–30 minutes. Most patients feel no pain, but rather mild stretching and sometimes immediate ease of pressure.
- Plans usually recommend 10–15 sessions spaced over several weeks, with regular progress monitoring and adjustments as needed.
