Spinal Decompression
A gentle option for disc and nerve-related pain.
Non-surgical, motorized therapy designed to gradually reduce pressure on spinal discs and irritated nerves for appropriate patients.
Non-surgical disc therapy
Controlled care designed around your comfort.
Spinal decompression uses carefully controlled positioning and traction. It is often discussed by people dealing with disc-related pain, sciatica, or nerve irritation. An evaluation is important because decompression is not the right fit for every condition.
- May help reduce pressure on bulging and herniated discs.
- May calm sciatica and radiating leg pain.
- May reduce nerve irritation and related numbness.
- Offers a conservative option to discuss before more aggressive care.

How many sessions will I need?
The number and frequency depend on your evaluation, health history, and response. Dr. Cornwell will explain a realistic recommendation.

Not necessarily. It is a conservative therapy that may be appropriate for some people. It should not delay urgent or specialist care when that is needed.
