In addition to chiropractic care, Adjusted For Life Chiropractic Health Centre offers spinal decompression therapy. This therapy is designed to reduce pressure within the spinal discs and nerves, helping patients dealing with sciatica, disc injuries, or persistent arm and leg pain.

We have seen many patients benefit from this treatment when it is used as part of a well-structured care plan. Decompression therapy is typically combined with chiropractic adjustments and movement-based care to support recovery and restore comfortable movement.

How Does Decompression Therapy Work?

Spinal decompression uses a specialized computerized table that gently applies traction to the neck or lower back. Patients are comfortably secured while the system gradually increases and decreases tension in controlled cycles.

Controlled Traction Therapy

The table allows us to adjust variables such as the amount of pull, speed, and duration so treatment can be customized for each patient. This gentle traction helps reduce pressure within the spinal discs and surrounding nerves.

Conditions That May Benefit From Decompression

While some patients use decompression therapy for general neck or back discomfort, it is most commonly recommended for nerve-related symptoms such as:

Sciatica with leg pain
Radiculopathy affecting the arms or legs
Bulging or herniated discs

Disc-related neck pain
Persistent lower back pain
Nerve irritation in the spine

What to Expect During Treatment

Before recommending decompression therapy, our doctors perform a thorough examination to determine whether it is appropriate for your condition.

Most patients do not receive decompression therapy during their first visit. Instead, we review your examination results and discuss whether this therapy should be part of your care plan.

During treatment, you will lie comfortably on the decompression table while gentle traction cycles are applied. Sessions typically last about 20 minutes.

Some patients experience improvement within a few visits, while others benefit from a longer series of sessions depending on the severity of the condition.

Decompression therapy is often combined with chiropractic adjustments and exercises that support recovery.

Some patients are given stretching or strengthening exercises to help maintain progress between visits.
