Non-surgical spinal decompression is the ONLY FDA-cleared, computerized treatment designed to cure herniated and bulging discs. It does this by gently pulling to reduce pressure off spinal discs and allowing the herniation to retract back into place.
Unlike traditional physical therapy, medicine or injections that often focus on temporary symptom relief, spinal decompression is designed to work directly on the affected discs by:
Reducing pressure inside bulging and herniated discs
Creating a gentle negative pressure that may help retract disc material
Improving the circulation of oxygen and nutrients to the injured area
Allowing discs to rehydrate and heal


The pulling, angle and the force is all CUSTOM to your X-rays or MRI's
Advanced spinal decompression therapy is not widely available and is only offered in select clinics that have invested in specialized technology designed to treat disc injuries and nerve compression at the source. This technology is designed to reduce pressure inside damaged spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and take pressure off irritated nerves.
Why Many Health Plans Don’t Cover It
Most insurance plans are designed to cover treatments that manage symptoms, such as:
• Pain medications
• Injections
• Standard physical therapy
• Surgical procedures
Those treatments can sometimes provide temporary relief but do NOT address the underlying disc pressure causing the pain. Advanced spinal decompression focuses on correcting the structural problem itself. Because of that, this technology requires specialized equipment, detailed evaluations, and individualized treatment plans, we only accept a limited number of new patients at a time.
