What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression is a controlled, computer-guided traction therapy that gently stretches the spine to:
- Reduce pressure inside spinal discs
- Relieve nerve compression
- Improve blood flow and nutrient delivery
This creates a negative pressure effect inside the disc—helping bulges and herniations move away from irritated nerves.
How It Works

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Think of your spinal discs like sponges.
When compressed:
- They lose fluid
- Bulge outward
- Irritate nearby nerves
With decompression:
- Pressure is reduced
- Fluid + nutrients are pulled back in
- The disc can begin to heal
👉 This is why patients often feel less nerve pain and improved mobility over time
Benefits of Spinal Decompression
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
What Spinal Decompression Helps with?
Takes stress off damaged discs so they can recover
2. Relieves Nerve Irritation
Decreases pressure on nerves causing pain, tingling, or numbness
3. Improves Mobility
Patients move easier with less stiffness and guarding
4. Promotes Natural Healing
Enhances circulation and nutrient flow into spinal discs
5. Non-Surgical Solution
No injections, no downtime, no medications required

What Spinal Decompression Helps with?
Spinal decompression is highly effective for:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica / nerve pain down the leg
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic low back pain
- Neck pain with radiating symptoms
- Pinched nerves
- Postural compression issues
👉 Most patients describe it as a gentle stretch or relieving pressure—not painful
What to Expect During Treatment
What Spinal Decompression Helps with?
What to Expect During Treatment
- You’ll lie comfortably on a specialized decompression table
- A harness is applied to target the spine precisely
- The system gently cycles through stretch and relaxation phases
- Class IV Laser is also applied at the same time to decrease inflammation
- Sessions typically last 12–15 minutes
👉 Most patients describe it as a gentle stretch or relieving pressure—not painful
How Many Sessions Do You Need?

What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, depending on severity:
- Mild cases: 6–10 sessions
- Moderate to severe: 10–20 sessions
At Muscle Geek, we combine decompression with:
- Class IV Laser
- Shockwave Therapy
- Corrective movement
