Decompression & Traction

Spinal decompression and traction therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine, reduce nerve irritation, and support long-term healing for disc-related or postural issues.

Targeted Relief Through Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical technique that gently stretches the spine to create space between vertebrae. This reduces pressure on compressed nerves and may support the retraction of bulging or herniated discs. Our chiropractic team uses both mechanical and manual traction methods tailored to your condition and tolerance level, with the goal of relieving pain, improving mobility, and enhancing circulation in the spinal region.

Conditions That May Benefit

Decompression and traction therapy may be recommended for clients experiencing:

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Sciatica or nerve root irritation

  • Chronic neck or low back pain

  • Facet syndrome or spinal joint compression

 

These therapies are ideal for individuals seeking a conservative option before considering surgical intervention, or for those needing long-term relief strategies as part of an ongoing recovery plan.

Integrative Treatment Approach

At Maverick Health & Wellness, decompression and traction are never used in isolation. They're paired with chiropractic adjustments, targeted stretching, soft tissue release, and therapeutic exercise to ensure lasting results. Your care plan is developed collaboratively to support both immediate symptom relief and long-term spinal stability. This is a great service for patients who've been told surgery is a last resort, or who experience flare-ups related to disc compression or spinal posture issues. These methods may help correct postural misalignments, reduce nerve irritation, and restore functional alignment in the spine. Our practitioners may incorporate intermittent or sustained traction depending on your needs, always combined with strengthening and stabilization strategies to help maintain long-term spinal health.

How It Works

Mechanical traction involves the use of specialized tables that apply controlled force to stretch the spine. Manual traction may involve gentle hand-applied pull techniques. Each session is brief, comfortable, and guided by a licensed professional who monitors your response in real time.
