The basics

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Non-surgical spinal decompression uses a specialized, computer-controlled table to gently stretch the spine. That stretch creates negative pressure inside the discs, easing the compression that is pinching the nerves and drawing bulging or herniated disc material back where it belongs.

As pressure comes off the nerve and fresh fluid and nutrients flow back into the disc, pain eases and the disc has a chance to actually heal. It is a comfortable, drug-free alternative to injections and back surgery.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does spinal decompression hurt?

No. Most patients find it relaxing and comfortable. The stretch is gentle and gradual.

How is it different from regular traction?

Decompression uses computer-controlled cycles that target specific discs and create true negative pressure, which simple traction cannot.

How many sessions will I need?

Disc conditions typically respond best to a series of sessions, and Dr. Chenault tailors a plan to the case.

Is it safe?

For most people, yes. We review history and imaging first to confirm a good candidate.

Can it help me avoid surgery?

Many patients use decompression to find relief without surgery. It is a conservative option worth trying first for many disc problems.
