At Balance Wellspace, we offer advanced spinal decompression therapy to help patients find relief from chronic back and neck pain, without surgery, injections, or downtime. This gentle, targeted treatment is designed to reduce pressure within the spinal discs, promote healing, and restore comfort so you can get back to the activities you love.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure within the discs. By lowering intradiscal pressure, decompression allows essential fluids and nutrients to flow back into the disc space. This process helps rehydrate the disc, reduce nerve irritation, and support natural healing.
Many patients find this therapy effective for disc-related pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. Treatments are comfortable, controlled, and customized to your specific condition.
Several conditions can lead to persistent spine-related discomfort. Spinal decompression may help patients who have been diagnosed with:
Herniated or Bulging Discs
A herniation occurs when the gel-like center of the disc pushes through the outer layers, creating pressure on nearby nerves. This can lead to inflammation, numbness, tingling, and radiating pain.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Over time, spinal discs can lose hydration and height. As they deteriorate, they become less effective at absorbing mechanical loads. Degeneration can contribute to bulging discs, herniations, and spinal stenosis.
Facet Syndrome
Facet joints help maintain spinal alignment. When irritated or inflamed, they can cause localized pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Discs that have weakened or aged often place additional stress on these joints.
Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when a spinal nerve is compressed, often due to a herniated disc or bone spur. Patients may feel sharp, radiating pain from the lower back down the leg, along with tingling or numbness. Symptoms may worsen with sitting, coughing, or sneezing.
Who Can Benefit From Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression may help individuals diagnosed with:
Herniated discs
Bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Facet syndrome
Sciatica
Many patients seek decompression when traditional treatments such as physical therapy, medication, or chiropractic care haven’t fully resolved their pain.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical decompression session lasts about 30 minutes. Treatments are gentle and relaxing, and many patients even fall asleep during the session. You may feel a light stretching sensation in the lumbar or cervical spine as the table works through programmed cycles of pull and release.
Some individuals may experience mild muscle soreness afterward, similar to beginning a new exercise routine. This usually resolves quickly.
To support your results, your provider may also recommend:
Electrical stimulation
Cold therapy
Therapeutic exercises
A lumbar support belt
Why Choose Balance Wellspace?
At Balance Wellspace, we take a comprehensive approach that goes far beyond simply relieving spine-related symptoms. Rather than offering temporary fixes, our team focuses on identifying the underlying structural, muscular, and lifestyle factors that contribute to ongoing back and neck pain. We look at how your posture, movement patterns, inflammation levels, and spinal stability work together, because lasting relief requires restoring balance across your whole body, not just the painful area.
Our providers integrate evidence-based chiropractic care, rehabilitative exercise, and state-of-the-art non-surgical therapies like spinal decompression to support long-term healing at the disc, joint, and nerve levels. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and strengthening spinal support structures, we help your body recover naturally and more efficiently.
We also consider whole-person influences such as stress, daily habits, ergonomics, and overall mobility. When these factors are addressed alongside decompression therapy, patients often experience faster progress, better function, and fewer recurring flare-ups.
With this comprehensive, medically informed model, our goal is simple: to help you achieve sustainable spinal health, improved comfort, and a better quality of life, so you can move, work, and live with confidence again.

This place is amazing. Normally you have to go to many different places to receive a regiment of care for a injury, NOT here. You have a team of people who coordinate your care. There is no lag time while waiting for one office to send over recommended treatment to another. The Chiropractor walks to the next room and speaks with the Provider or PA-C for regenerative injections, or vice-versa, to make sure your getting the best treatment as your condition changes. Everyone here is very friendly and caring. I recommend anyone suffering from back pain, neck pain, or needing physical rehabilitation to check out Balance Wellspace.
