What to Expect with Decompression Therapy?

What to Expect During Your First Spinal Decompression Session

If you have chronic back pain, a herniated disc or sciatica and spinal decompression therapy is one of your options, it helps to know what a session is actually like. Here is what to expect the first time. For an overview of the treatment, see our spinal decompression page.

Your Evaluation

We'll assess your condition with a comprehensive evaluation, including a review of your medical history, symptoms, and any necessary imaging tests. Not everyone is a candidate, so this step ensures personalized treatment for the best results.

During a Decompression Session

• You'll lie comfortably on a spinal decompression table with a secure harness.
• The machine gently stretches the spine, aiming to relieve pressure on the disc and nerves.
• Sessions last 15-30 minutes and are comfortable for most people, and many even find it relaxing.

After Your Session

After your session, you may feel immediate relief, though multiple treatments may be needed. To maximize results, we provide at-home exercises, posture tips, and lifestyle guidance.
