Disc relief without surgery.
When a disc bulges, herniates, or degenerates, it can put pressure on nearby nerves — causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. Traditional options often jump to epidural injections or surgery. Spinal decompression offers another path.
Decompression therapy uses a specialized table to apply controlled, gentle traction to the spine. This creates negative intradiscal pressure — essentially a vacuum effect that helps retract bulging disc material, take pressure off nerves, and draw in nutrients that promote disc healing.
At Back and Body, Dr. Brad combines spinal decompression with chiropractic adjustments for a comprehensive approach to disc-related pain. It's non-invasive, drug-free, and effective for many patients who've been told surgery is their only option.
Why decompression works.
Creates Space for Healing
Negative pressure draws bulging disc material back toward center, reducing nerve compression and creating an environment for the disc to heal.
Reduces Pain Naturally
By addressing the disc issue directly, decompression relieves the nerve pressure causing your pain — without medication or injections.
Non-Surgical Alternative
Many patients scheduled for disc surgery find relief with decompression therapy. It is a safe, proven alternative worth trying first.
Comfortable Treatment
Sessions are gentle and relaxing. Patients lie on the decompression table while controlled traction is applied. Many patients fall asleep during treatment.
Decompression can help.
Your decompression session.
Setup
You lie comfortably on the decompression table, fully clothed. A harness is placed around your hips. The table is adjusted to target your specific disc level.
Treatment
The table applies controlled, gentle traction — stretching and releasing in cycles. Each session lasts about 15-20 minutes. Most patients feel a gentle stretch with no pain.
Follow-Up
Dr. Brad may perform a chiropractic adjustment after decompression to maximize results. He discusses progress and adjusts the treatment plan as needed — always honest, never overselling.
Dr. Brad treats every patient with the same philosophy: thorough diagnosis, personalized care, and real results. Your treatment plan is built around your specific condition and goals. Come when you need to. Stop when you're feeling good. You're in control of your care.
