Six Conditions
We Treat
Evidence-based, imaging-personalized treatment for your specific condition.
Disc Herniation & Bulging Discs
Compressed discs creating radiating nerve pain down the arms or legs. Decompression creates negative intradiscal pressure to retract disc material and restore disc height.
Sciatica & Nerve Pain
Shooting pain from your lower back through your leg originates from sciatic nerve compression. Precision decompression targets the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Chronic Low Back Pain
Years of pain, failed treatments, and no answers. Our structured 8–12 week protocol delivers measurable, lasting relief when injections, PT, and medication have failed.
Chronic Neck Pain & Cervical Disc
Degenerative cervical discs causing stiffness, headaches, and radiating arm pain. Cervical decompression gently restores disc height and relieves nerve compression.
Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerve roots and the spinal cord. Our advanced decompression protocols restore canal space and reduce neurogenic symptoms.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
Still in pain after surgery? You're not out of options. Many post-surgical patients achieve lasting relief through our regenerative, non-invasive approach.

The Science Behind Your Recovery
Non-surgical spinal decompression isn't chiropractic adjustments. It's a precise, evidence-based mechanical process that directly targets the source of your pain.
Watch how spinal decompression relieves disc pressure in real time.
Herniated disc pressing on nerve root — causing pain, numbness & sciatica.
How Spinal Decompression Supports Disc Relief
The Problem: Compressed Disc
A herniated or bulging disc presses against nearby nerve roots, causing pain, sciatica, numbness, and weakness.
The Treatment: Negative Intradiscal Pressure
Our FDA-cleared table creates a precise negative pressure that gently retracts the bulging disc material away from the nerve.
The Result: Rehydration & Healing
The negative pressure may draw water, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc — supporting the body's natural recovery process.
✓ Individual results vary. Spinal decompression is intended to support the body's natural recovery — not a guaranteed cure. A clinical assessment determines candidacy.
FDA-Cleared Technology
Our spinal decompression table is FDA-cleared — the gold standard for non-surgical disc treatment. Not all decompression is equal.
Surgery-Avoidance Is Our Goal
We always explore non-surgical options first. Many of our patients have been able to avoid surgery — though individual results vary based on each patient's condition.
Results in 8–12 Weeks
Most patients notice meaningful pain reduction within the first 2 weeks. Full programs run 20–25 sessions over 8–12 weeks.
0% Financing Available
We believe cost shouldn't stop you from healing. We offer 0% Affirm financing, HSA/FSA, CareCredit, and in-house payment plans.
