About The Therapy
Spinal Decompression Therapy helps patients relieve pain by improving joint mobility and slowing any further degeneration to the spine.
We work to help patients be able to reduce their medication and stay away from surgery, letting their body heal itself naturally. We do this as gently as possible because we understand patients may come to us in excruciating pain. Spinal Decompression Therapy is also a way to treat patients who cannot tolerate traditional Chiropractic adjustments. This therapy is most commonly used for the neck and low back.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
What is the difference between a Disc Bulge and a Disc Herniation?
A disc bulge is when a small part of the jelly-like vertebral disc starts to press outwards on the ligaments and nerves surrounding your spine. These may or may not be associated with pain. A Disc herniation begins as a disc bulge, however when it ultimately breaks through the protective ligaments, it is now termed a herniation.
How can a Chiropractor help me with these problems?
Do I need a Medical Doctor’s Prescription? Do I need X-Rays or MRIs?
Is this treatment permanent?
Our goal is to bring you long lasting relief as permanent as possible. Sticking to the treatment plan and adhering to our home-care instructions allows us to do this effectively so that you do not have to return.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Possibly. Patients may experience minor muscle pain or soreness after treatment, especially after the first few treatment sessions.
What if I have already had back surgery?
Spinal decompression has successfully treated many patients recovering form back surgery. Whether it’s the same pain but slightly diminished or post-operative pain, we can absolutely help relieve the symptoms.
Do you use that DRX-9000 machine?
No, we do not use this machine for our treatment and it is no longer recognized by Health Canada. Our machine is a special Chiropractic table that allows for Flexion and Distraction of the spine at specific areas, successfully attaining the decompressive forces required for treatment.
Are we slightly shorter at the end of the day than the beginning?
The simple answer is yes. Depending on your age and relative disc health, the 23 vertebral discs in our spine get compressed all day long until eventually each one is a fraction smaller than when you woke up.
Who Should NOT Get Spinal Decompression?
Patients with Severe Osteoporosis, Spine Fractures, Severe Peripheral Neuropathy, pathologic aortic aneurysms, spinal infections, spinal metastatic cancers, or very recent lumbar fusions/metal implants should not receive this treatment.
