Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine by gently stretching the vertebrae and promoting natural healing. Using a specialized traction table or device, decompression therapy gradually separates targeted spinal segments, creating negative pressure within the intervertebral discs. This negative pressure can help retract herniated or bulging disc material, reduce nerve compression, and encourage the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the affected areas. Spinal Decompression is commonly recommended for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and chronic lower back or neck pain.

When discs are injured or degenerated, they lose hydration, height, and the ability to cushion spinal joints effectively. Spinal Decompression Therapy counteracts these effects by gently creating space between the vertebrae, allowing bulging or herniated material to retract and pressure on nearby nerves to diminish. Additionally, the controlled stretching improves blood flow to the spine and supports nutrient exchange, promoting tissue repair. Over time, this can reduce inflammation, relieve radiating nerve pain, restore mobility, and strengthen the spine’s structural integrity—offering a natural, non-invasive solution to chronic spinal conditions without relying on surgery or long-term medication use.

Dr Hill is great! Knowledgeable of his craft & has great techniques. The office is friendly & inviting. My only suggestion is a bit more focus on cleanliness. I understand this is a local business but the standards of cleanliness should be applicable to any health care establishment. Keep in mind care here may differ from rehabilitation received at hospitals. E M2025-04-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

No. The therapy is designed to be gentle and relaxing. Most patients feel a mild stretching sensation, and some even report a sense of pressure relief and relaxation during or after treatment.
A typical course of treatment includes between 12 to 24 sessions over several weeks, depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s response to therapy.
In many cases, yes. By reducing disc herniation and nerve compression naturally, Spinal Decompression Therapy has helped many patients avoid the need for invasive spinal surgeries.
Candidates typically include patients with herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or chronic back or neck pain that has not responded to conventional therapies. A thorough evaluation will determine eligibility.
Risks are minimal. Mild soreness or muscle stiffness may occur after initial treatments, but these side effects are typically temporary. Spinal Decompression is a safe, non-invasive option for most patients.
