This advanced, non-surgical therapy is designed to gently relieve pressure on the spine, helping the body heal naturally. By creating space within the spine, decompression helps improve circulation, reduce nerve irritation, and support long-term healing, making it a powerful complement to chiropractic care. If you’ve been struggling with lingering pain or feel like you’ve “tried everything,” this new service may be the missing piece. Spinal decompression may be beneficial for those experiencing chronic neck or low back pain, disc bulges or herniations, sciatica or radiating pain, and degenerative disc changes.

Spinal decompression may help with:

• Herniated discs
• Bulging discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sciatica
• Chronic low back pain
• Pinched nerves
• Neck pain

Spinal Decompression appointments at Valeo Chiropractic are comfortable and easy. Most practice members say this is their most relaxing part of their week! Once you are seated comfortably, our team will fit you properly depending on what area of the body we are focusing on. This would be with under-arm rests or a head attachment for your neck. Once our doctors establish what protocol would be best for your specific condition, the chair would slowly recline and gradually lengthen. While most people experience a gentle stretch and reduced disc pressure, some may feel mild discomfort. This may be due to the severity of your condition and should resolve quickly. Patients can expect each session to last roughly 6-12 minutes.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have chronic back or neck pain
• Have been diagnosed with a disc injury
• Want to avoid surgery
• Have pain radiating into arms or legs
• Haven’t found relief with other treatments

You may not qualify if you have certain conditions like spinal fractures or severe osteoporosis, which is why at your first appointment, also known as a discovery session, we will do a thorough consultation and evaluation.

Our doctors will review your health history and give individualized care recommendations. This typically ranges between 12-24 visits over a period of 8-16 weeks. Many of our practice members will experience immediate relief of pain/discomfort following their first few sessions. We recommend completing the doctor’s recommendations in order to experience the best results.
