Spinal decompression is a non-surgical approach to back and neck pain that comes from the discs and nerves of the spine. Using a specialized motorized table, the spine is gently and gradually stretched, which eases the load on the discs between the vertebrae. This creates space and a gentle negative pressure that can draw bulging or herniated disc material back, take pressure off pinched nerves, and improve the flow of fluid and nutrients into the disc. It is most often used for issues like disc-related low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and the leg or arm symptoms that come from a compressed nerve. Sessions are comfortable and drug-free, and most people simply rest on the table while it does the work. Spinal decompression pairs naturally with chiropractic care, so it can be one part of a larger plan rather than a stand-alone fix. At Gilmore Chiropractic, decompression is delivered using the DOC Decompression table, a precision system that lets us target the exact segment that needs relief.
