What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy for Herniated Discs?

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, placing pressure on nearby nerves. This pressure can cause pain in the neck or back, along with symptoms that radiate into the arms or legs.

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine using specialized equipment. This controlled movement helps reduce pressure within the affected disc while relieving compression on surrounding nerves.

As pressure decreases, oxygen, nutrients, and fluids can circulate more effectively within the injured disc, supporting the body’s natural healing response.
