Relieve herniated disc pain, sciatica, and chronic back pain with our gentle, non-invasive spinal decompression therapy — no drugs, no surgery.
Understanding the Treatment
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine using a motorized traction table. This creates negative pressure inside your spinal discs — drawing herniated material back into place and allowing nutrients, oxygen, and fluids to flow back into damaged discs.
Developed as a surgery-free alternative for debilitating spinal pain, this therapy is one of the most effective treatments for sciatica, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease available today.
As the spine is gently stretched, pressure is taken off compressed discs and nerves. The resulting vacuum effect encourages retraction of herniated disc material — allowing the body to heal naturally.
Conditions Treated
Decompression gently repositions bulging disc material, relieving pressure on surrounding nerves.
Reduce the shooting leg pain and tingling caused by a pinched sciatic nerve in the lower back.
Hydrate and rehabilitate worn discs, slowing degeneration and restoring cushioning between vertebrae.
Open up narrowed spinal canals, relieving nerve compression and restoring mobility.
For patients with failed back surgery syndrome, decompression can provide meaningful relief.
Reduce inflammation and pain in the small joints of the spine that stabilize movement.
The Process
Dr. Knochel reviews your X-rays, symptoms, and history to confirm you're a good candidate.
You're comfortably fitted with a harness while lying on the decompression table.
The table gently stretches and releases in a precise cycle — many patients fall asleep!
No downtime needed. Most patients resume normal activities immediately after each session.
Why Choose Decompression?
Questions & Answers
No — most patients find it relaxing. You may feel a gentle stretching sensation, but the treatment is designed to be comfortable. Many patients doze off during sessions.
A typical treatment course is 15–25 sessions over 4–6 weeks. Dr. Knochel will give you a specific recommendation based on your condition and how your body responds.
Spinal decompression is not recommended for patients with fractures, tumors, severe osteoporosis, metal implants in the spine, or during pregnancy. A thorough evaluation at your first visit will confirm whether it's right for you.
Many patients notice improvement within the first few sessions. Significant, lasting results typically build over the full course of treatment.
