Spinal Decompression Therapy Overview
At Leigh Brain & Spine, we provide advanced spinal decompression therapy using state-of-the-art technology to create a healing environment for damaged discs and compressed nerves. This FDA-cleared treatment offers lasting relief without surgery or medication.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive therapy that uses precisely controlled traction to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. The treatment takes place on a specialized table designed to target specific areas of the spine.
We use computerized technology to create gentle stretching forces that decompress the spine. This advanced approach allows us to treat both cervical and lumbar spine conditions with exceptional precision.
The therapy sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, during which patients often report feeling comfortable and relaxed.
How Spinal Decompression Works
The treatment creates negative pressure within spinal discs through controlled stretching cycles. This vacuum effect accomplishes two crucial goals:
- Draws bulging or herniated disc material back into place
- Promotes the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the discs
The computer-guided system adjusts the force and angle of traction based on each patient’s specific needs. These precise modifications ensure optimal therapeutic benefits while maintaining comfort and safety.

Our spinal decompression therapy effectively addresses numerous spine-related conditions:
- Herniated or bulging discs

Frequently Asked Questions
Spinal decompression therapy provides targeted relief for chronic pain conditions through precise mechanical traction and specialized protocols. Our advanced treatment methods address both immediate symptoms and underlying causes.
What benefits does spinal decompression therapy offer for chronic back and neck pain?
Spinal decompression creates negative pressure within the discs to promote natural healing and reduce pain. This non-invasive approach helps restore proper disc height and function.
The therapy increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged areas, supporting tissue repair and regeneration.
Can spinal decompression therapy be a suitable treatment for sciatica and nerve compression?
