Spinal Decompression Therapy at Leigh Brain & Spine
At Leigh Brain & Spine, we provide advanced spinal decompression therapy using state-of-the-art DRX-9000 technology to help patients find relief from chronic back and neck pain without surgery.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. We use precisely controlled mechanical traction to create negative pressure within the spinal discs.
This negative pressure helps draw bulging disc material back into place and promotes the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the discs for natural healing.
Our FDA-cleared decompression system provides targeted treatment to specific areas of the spine while keeping patients comfortable and relaxed throughout each session.
How Spinal Decompression Works
The DRX-9000 system applies gentle stretching forces that change direction and intensity based on your body’s response. Each 30-45 minute session gradually separates the vertebrae to create space between the spinal joints.
Patients lie comfortably on the treatment table while the computer-controlled system provides precise stretching cycles. The process is pain-free and many patients find it relaxing.
We carefully monitor and adjust the treatment parameters during each session based on your specific condition and progress.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica and nerve compression
- Chronic neck pain
- Lower back pain
- Spinal stenosis
- Failed back surgery syndrome
- Facet joint syndrome
Many patients experience significant improvement after completing a series of treatments, even when other therapies have failed to provide relief.
The Benefits of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
- Pain Relief: Reduces pressure on nerves and promotes natural healing
- Non-Invasive: No surgery, injections, or medication required
- Safe: FDA-cleared treatment with minimal risk of complications
- Cost-Effective: More affordable than surgery
- No Recovery Time: Return to normal activities immediately after treatment
The therapy strengthens spinal muscles and improves mobility while addressing the root cause of pain rather than just masking symptoms.

Why Choose Us?
Personalized Care and Treatment Process
Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation to assess their specific condition and develop an individualized treatment plan. We examine medical history, imaging results, and current symptoms to determine the most effective approach.
A typical treatment plan includes:
- 12-20 sessions over 6-8 weeks
- Sessions lasting 30-45 minutes
- Gentle computerized traction cycles
- Progress monitoring at each visit
We complement decompression therapy with targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education about proper posture and body mechanics. This integrated approach helps maximize long-term results.
Consequences of Delaying Treatment
Untreated spinal conditions often progress to more severe symptoms and complications. Compressed discs can suffer additional damage, leading to increased pain and reduced mobility.
Nerve compression may cause:
- Radiating pain
- Muscle weakness
- Numbness or tingling
- Reduced reflexes
Early intervention through spinal decompression can help prevent the need for surgical intervention and minimize the risk of permanent nerve damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Spinal decompression therapy provides targeted relief for back pain, neck issues, and disc-related conditions through gentle, non-surgical traction. We’ve answered the most common questions our patients ask about this advanced treatment option.
What are the benefits of spinal decompression therapy?
Spinal decompression offers immediate pain relief while addressing the root cause of disc problems.
This therapy reduces pressure on compressed nerves and promotes natural healing without medications or surgery.
Patients typically experience improved mobility, better sleep, and can return to daily activities with less discomfort.
How does spinal decompression provide relief from chronic pain conditions?
The specialized traction table creates negative pressure within spinal discs to promote healing.
This vacuum effect helps pull herniated or bulging disc material back into proper position.
The controlled stretching allows vital nutrients and oxygen to flow into the disc spaces, accelerating the natural healing process.
Can spinal decompression therapy help with sciatica and other nerve compressions?
Spinal decompression effectively relieves pressure on pinched nerves that cause radiating pain and numbness.
The gentle stretching creates space between vertebrae, reducing nerve irritation and inflammation.
We see consistent results with sciatica patients who previously struggled with persistent leg pain and tingling.
What should I expect during a spinal decompression session?
Each session lasts about 30-45 minutes on our computerized decompression table.
Patients remain fully clothed while the table applies precisely controlled stretching forces to targeted areas.
The experience is comfortable and relaxing – many patients even fall asleep during treatment.
Are there any long-term risks associated with delaying spinal decompression therapy?
Untreated disc problems often lead to accelerated degeneration and increased pain over time.
Delay in treatment can result in permanent nerve damage and reduced spinal mobility.
The longer patients wait, the more likely they are to require invasive procedures or surgery.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for spinal decompression at Leigh Brain & Spine?
We perform a thorough examination including detailed health history and diagnostic testing to determine eligibility.
Most patients with herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or chronic back pain qualify for treatment.
Some conditions like severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or recent spinal surgery may require alternative therapies.
