Understanding Spinal Decompression Therapy: What It Is and How It Works
Spinal decompression therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. This technique uses a specialized table to gently stretch the spine, creating a vacuum effect within the discs. This allows herniated or bulging discs to retract, alleviating pressure on the surrounding nerves and helping to reduce pain and inflammation.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons adults seek medical care, and for many, it becomes an ongoing problem that doesn’t improve with rest alone. Spinal decompression offers a non-invasive option for patients who haven’t found lasting relief through medication or physical therapy, especially those dealing with herniated discs, sciatica, or chronic disc-related pain.
The Benefits of Spinal Decompression: Why It Could Be Right for You
Spinal decompression therapy is not just about relieving pain in the short term, it’s about helping your body heal naturally and promoting long-term spinal health. Many patients experience relief after just a few sessions, and as the spine is realigned and pressure on the discs is reduced, overall mobility and quality of life improve.
If you’re dealing with conditions like a herniated disc or sciatica, you might find it surprising that decompression therapy has been shown to be effective in improving spinal disc health. Back pain is one of the most common reasons adults seek medical care, and for many, it becomes an ongoing problem that doesn’t improve with rest alone. Spinal decompression offers a non-invasive option for patients who haven’t found lasting relief through medication or physical therapy, especially those dealing with herniated discs, sciatica, or chronic disc-related pain.
But it’s not just about treating the pain, it’s also about preventing future injury. Spinal decompression encourages healthier disc function, improving the spine’s ability to absorb shock, making it less prone to future injury.
What Happens During a Spinal Decompression Session?
Unlike invasive treatments or surgery, spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive, gentle approach to spinal health. During a typical session, you will be comfortably positioned on a specialized table, which will be adjusted based on your specific needs. A harness is placed around your pelvis, and the table is gradually moved to create a gentle stretching effect on your spine.

Your spinal decompression sessions are provided by Dr. Bahram Goshtasbi, who has [26 years] of experience treating disc-related pain. He will personally review your history, full evaluation and x-ray or MRI reports, explain your treatment plan, and check in with you at each stage of care so you always know what to expect.
Is Spinal Decompression Therapy Right for You?
Spinal decompression therapy can be an excellent treatment option for individuals suffering from conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and more. But how do you know if it’s the right fit for you? Here’s some helpful information:
Spinal decompression therapy is especially effective for patients with bulging or herniated discs. The therapy helps to reduce the pressure on the affected discs, allowing them to retract and heal.
If you’re experiencing pain that radiates down your leg due to pressure on the sciatic nerve, spinal decompression can be a highly effective solution. By relieving pressure on the nerve, the therapy helps alleviate pain, numbness, and tingling in the lower body.
Chronic back pain, whether due to muscle strain, degenerative disc disease, or misalignments, can often be improved with spinal decompression. The treatment reduces spinal pressure and allows for natural healing.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Your exact treatment plan depends on how long you’ve had symptoms and how severe they are. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through a personalized plan — including how many sessions we recommend and what progress to expect along the way.
