What is Spinal Decompression (DTS) and How it Works?

Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, computer guided traction therapy that helps reduce pressure in the spine at targeted levels. By softly stretching the back or neck in a controlled cycle of pull/relax causing negative pressure inside the disc and joint spaces. That change in pressure helps to draw nutrients and fluids back into the disc space, ease nerve irritation, and reduce muscle guarding—so you can move with less pain.

Common conditions we use DTS for:

  • Herniated or bulging discs (lumbar or cervical)
  • Sciatica / leg pain, arm pain or tingling
  • Degenerative disc disease & facet joint irritation
  • Spinal stenosis related discomfort (selected cases)
  • Chronic neck or low back pain that hasn’t improved with rest

DTS is non-surgical and drug free. Most people find sessions comfortable—many even relax during treatment.

Sessions can range from 15-25 minutes (but you should plan on a 30-minute visit).

Light exercises, hydration, and soft tissue work can help support the healing process afterwards.
