WHAT TO KNOW
A clearer starting point for back & neck pain.
When back or neck discomfort is changing how you sit, sleep, work, or move, spinal decompression may be one option to discuss after a thorough evaluation.
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment approach that uses a computer-guided table. A careful evaluation is the first step in determining whether this option should be discussed for your individual needs.

Topics to discuss during your evaluation.

Disc-related stiffness
Pain that limits sitting, sleep, or movement

Review your symptoms, history, and everyday movement goals.
Discuss whether a computer-guided decompression approach is appropriate to consider.
Build a measured care conversation around comfort, progress, and next steps.

What happens during a spinal decompression consultation?
The visit begins with a discussion of your symptoms, history, goals, and prior care. The team can then explain whether a computer-guided decompression conversation is appropriate to consider.
How long is a typical session?
The practice’s existing educational material describes sessions that are often less than 20 minutes, but timing and frequency depend on the individual plan and evaluation.
