Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression for Lasting Relief

person on decompression table At Peak Performance Sport & Spine, we’re proud to offer advanced spinal decompression therapy as part of our comprehensive treatment approach. This gentle, non-surgical technique provides relief for many patients suffering from disc-related conditions and chronic back or neck pain. Dr. Chad Hedges incorporates spinal decompression as a key component in treatment plans for patients who need specialized care beyond traditional adjustments, particularly those with herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or persistent nerve compression.

How Spinal Decompression Works

Spinal decompression therapy uses a specialized table that gently stretches your spine in a controlled, precise manner. This controlled traction creates negative pressure within the discs, which helps retract or reposition bulging disc material and promotes the influx of healing nutrients to damaged areas. Unlike traction devices that might trigger muscle guarding, our computer-controlled system applies and releases tension in carefully timed cycles, allowing your body to respond optimally to the treatment without resistance.

Conditions Effectively Treated

Our spinal decompression therapy has helped numerous patients with challenging spinal conditions find relief. This advanced treatment is particularly effective for herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica caused by nerve compression. Patients suffering from chronic lower back pain, neck pain, and pinched nerves often experience significant improvement through a series of decompression sessions, even when other treatments have provided only temporary relief.

Your Decompression Experience

During your spinal decompression session, you’ll lie comfortably on our specialized table while being secured with supportive harnesses that ensure proper positioning. The treatment itself is typically painless—many patients even find it relaxing enough to fall asleep during their 20-30 minute sessions. You’ll experience gentle stretching sensations as the table cycles through precise movements designed to create space between your vertebrae and relieve pressure on discs and nerves.

Comprehensive Spinal Care Approach

At Peak Performance Sport & Spine, spinal decompression isn’t offered in isolation but as part of an integrated treatment plan. Dr. Hedges may combine decompression therapy with specific chiropractic adjustments, targeted physiotherapy exercises, and other modalities to address all aspects of your condition. This multifaceted approach ensures we’re not just treating your symptoms but supporting complete healing and long-term spinal health, helping you avoid more invasive procedures like injections or surgery.
