Plain-language overview
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a motorized or equipment-assisted treatment that applies controlled positioning or traction. The provider selects the setup according to individual findings and monitors the treatment experience.
Its purpose is to provide a carefully managed conservative option—not to promise permanent disc repair, reverse degeneration, guarantee nerve relief, or ensure that surgery will be avoided.

Not Every Back or Neck Concern Is Suitable
Health history, examination findings, previous care, and patient goals affect candidacy. Some symptoms require referral or additional medical evaluation instead of decompression.
- The practice is reviewing its formal contraindication and referral criteria.
- A previous diagnosis or imaging result does not automatically establish candidacy.
- Potential benefits, discomforts, alternatives, and costs should be discussed before treatment.
