Unlocking Relief: How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works at ProBack

Back pain affects millions of people—and for many, it stems from problems deep within the spine. At ProBack, we leverage advanced spinal decompression therapy to address issues at their root. This non-surgical, drug-free approach is designed not just to mask symptoms, but to promote real healing.

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a specialized treatment that gently stretches the spine in a controlled, precise way. During a session, you lie comfortably on a motorized table while a computer system applies traction via harnesses around your pelvis and torso. The goal is to create negative pressure inside the spinal discs, which helps relieve pressure on nerves, rehydrate the disc, and encourage healing. 

This negative-pressure “vacuum effect” can help retract bulging or herniated disc material, reduce disc height compression, and restore healthier disc function. 

Who Can Benefit from This Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is especially useful for people suffering from:

• Herniated or bulging discs 
• Degenerative disc disease 
• Sciatica or nerve pain radiating down the legs 
• Pinched nerves or spinal stenosis 
• Chronic neck or lower back pain 

At ProBack, each individual undergoes a thorough evaluation—including medical history, imaging when required, and a functional assessment—to ensure that spinal decompression is tailored precisely for their condition. 

Key Benefits of Spinal Decompression

1. Non-Invasive Pain Relief This therapy offers a powerful alternative to surgery. Without incisions, anesthesia, or hospital stays, many patients find pain relief without the risks of invasive procedures.
2. Helps Structural Healing By creating negative pressure in the discs, decompression encourages retraction of herniated material and draws in nutrient-rich fluids like water, oxygen, and nutrients. 
3. Improves Circulation and Disc Health Gentle stretching promotes better blood flow around spinal structures, delivering healing resources directly to damaged tissues. 
4. Boosts Mobility and Function Because decompressing the spine eases pressure on nerves and joints, patients often report better flexibility, posture, and ease in daily movement.
5. Virtual No Recovery Time Most sessions are comfortable — some people even find them relaxing. There's minimal downtime, so you can resume normal activities quickly. 
6. May Help Avoid Surgery For many individuals, spinal decompression can prevent the need for invasive spinal surgery by providing a less risky route to healing. 

What to Expect During Treatment

• Session Duration: Each session typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. 
• Treatment Plan: A full course often includes 15–30 sessions spread over 4–6 weeks, depending on individual needs. 
• Procedure: You lie on the decompression table, secured by harnesses, while the machine gently stretches your spine through a controlled pull-hold-release pattern. 
• Combination Therapies: To maximize benefits, we often pair decompression with supportive treatments like physiotherapy, chiropractic care, or rehabilitation exercises.

Are There Any Risks or Drawbacks?

While spinal decompression is safe for many, it’s not suitable for everyone. Contraindications may include:

• Severe osteoporosis or bone weakening 
• Spinal fractures or instability 
• Certain implants or hardware in the spine 
• Cancer, infection, or other serious spinal pathologies 
• Pregnancy 

Some patients may feel mild soreness or stiffness after early sessions — similar to starting a new exercise regimen — but side effects are typically mild and well managed.
