Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands

  • What is Chiropractic Spinal Decompression Therapy?

    • A gentle, non-invasive therapy designed to relieve the pressure on spinal discs and nerves.
    • Uses a specialised traction table to stretch and relax your spine under the supervision of our experienced chiropractor.
    • Can help improve disc alignment, reduce herniation, ease nerve pressure, and promote natural healing.
    • May benefit those suffering from chronic back or neck pain, sciatica, bulging/herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and more.
  • Why choose Portland Chiropractic in Sutton Coldfield?

    • Integrated solution: Combine decompression with chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation, or trigger point injections for longer-lasting outcomes.
    • Ongoing monitoring: Progress is regularly reviewed for maximum benefit and adjusted as needed.
    • Convenient local access: Serving Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, and surrounding towns.

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works

During a typical session:

  • You will lay comfortably—fully clothed—on our computerised decompression table.
  • A harness is positioned around your hips or upper body (for lumbar or cervical regions).
  • The table applies gentle, cyclic traction and relaxation, creating negative intradiscal pressure:

    • Encourages bulging/herniated disc material to retract away from nerves
    • Restores nutrient-rich fluids to spinal discs
    • Relieves pain associated with nerve root irritation
    • Supports the body’s natural healing process
  • Each session lasts around 15-30 minutes. Most plans involve 10–15 sessions over several weeks.

Many patients experience increased flexibility or reduced discomfort after only a few sessions, though steady improvement over a course of therapy is most typical.

Who Benefits from Spinal Decompression Therapy?

  • Chronic lower back or neck pain unresponsive to other therapies
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica (leg pain, tingling, or weakness)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Facet joint syndrome
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Anyone seeking non-surgical, drug-free care

This therapy is best suited for those looking to avoid or delay spinal surgery, especially if previous physiotherapy or medication hasn’t produced lasting relief.

What Sets Us Apart?

When searching for the best spinal decompression therapy in Sutton Coldfield or “spinal decompression near me”, here’s how Portland Chiropractic stands above the crowd:

  • Personalisation: Every care plan is unique—our chiropractor considers your health history, current symptoms, response to previous treatments, and lifestyle factors.
  • Safety First: Not every patient or condition is appropriate for decompression. We conduct thorough chiropractic assessments and, when needed, use on-site chiropractic X-ray examination to ensure accurate diagnosis.
  • Integrated Care: We frequently combine decompression with chiropractic adjustments, SoftWave shock therapy, or prolozone for optimal results.
  • Transparent Communication: Goals, timelines, and expectations are always discussed, helping you take control of your recovery.

    • Our team provides individualised exercise prescriptions to help you stay well.
  • Routine Check-Ins:

  • Immediate Management of Symptoms:

    • If you notice any new or recurring symptoms, contact us promptly. Early attention is key to maintaining progress made with decompression therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is spinal decompression therapy painful?

    No—the therapy is very gentle. Most people feel mild stretching, often followed by a sense of relief or mobility.

  • How soon will I feel better?

    Some patients notice relief after only a few sessions, while others require a full course for sustained improvement.

  • Can decompression be combined with other treatments?

    Absolutely—it’s often most successful when combined with chiropractic adjustments, postural training, or soft tissue therapy. See also IV Ozone Therapy for systemic healing support.

  • Are there any risks or side effects?

    Side effects are rare and mild, such as slight soreness like mild exercise. We screen thoroughly to ensure this is an appropriate option for you and rule out contraindications.

  • How does this compare to a regular chiropractic adjustment?

    Decompression targets the discs and nerve roots with gentle stretching, whereas adjustments focus on joint mobility. Many benefit from both as part of a holistic plan.
