Spinal decompression therapy is non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. Using a specialized table, gentle stretching creates space between the vertebrae, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and hydrate.

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical chiropractic treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. Using a specialized table, gentle stretching creates space between the vertebrae, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and hydrate. This process improves circulation, reduces pain, and supports natural healing. Many patients find spinal decompression to be a comfortable, drug-free solution for chronic back or neck pain.
IV therapy and peptide therapy are sometimes used alongside decompression to support hydration and tissue repair.
Spinal decompression is often recommended for:
During treatment, you lie on a specialized decompression table that gently stretches and relaxes the spine in cycles. This creates negative pressure inside discs, encouraging bulging or herniated disc material to retract. The process also draws oxygen, water and nutrients into the discs, promoting healing and long-term spinal health.

Relieving pressure on your discs promotes the flow of oxygen, water and nutrients to the affected areas, helping your body to heal. Patients often experience:
Not exactly, traditional traction pulls on the spine with consistent force, but spinal decompression uses controlled cycles of stretch and relaxation. This more advanced method is designed to target specific discs, reduce muscle guarding, and enhance feeling.
Most patients describe the therapy as relaxing, with a gentle pulling sensation in the spine. There is no pain during treatment, and many people even fall asleep on the table. Afterward, patients often report less tension and improved mobility.
A spinal decompression session can last about 10 to 20 minutes. Treatment plans usually involve multiple sessions over several weeks, depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's response to care.
Yes, spinal decompression is FDA-cleared, safe, and non-invasive. Before starting, Dr. Campo will evaluate your history, symptoms, and imaging to determine if you are a good candidate. Conditions such as fractures, severe osteoporosis, or certain spinal surgeries may make this therapy unsuitable.
