Chronic back and neck pain affects millions of Americans, and for many, it becomes something they simply learn to manage rather than resolve. At North Texas Injury and Wellness, we believe that managing pain is not the same as treating it. Spinal decompression therapy offers a clinically supported, non-surgical path to lasting relief, and it’s one of the most effective treatments available for the right candidates.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression is a motorized traction therapy performed on a specialized table. Through a carefully controlled series of stretch-and-release cycles, the treatment creates negative pressure within the spinal discs. This change in pressure allows herniated or bulging disc material to retract away from the nerves it may be compressing, while simultaneously drawing in oxygen, water, and nutrients that support the disc’s natural healing process.
The procedure is gentle, non-invasive, and requires no anesthesia or recovery time. Most patients find sessions comfortable, many report feeling significant relief even in the early stages of treatment.
Conditions That Respond Well to Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is particularly effective for patients experiencing:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Chronic lower back or neck pain
- Pinched or compressed nerves
- Spinal stenosis
- Failed back surgery syndrome
If you have been told that surgery may be your next step, we encourage you to explore conservative options first. A thorough evaluation at our office will help determine whether spinal decompression is an appropriate course of treatment for your specific condition.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. You will be comfortably positioned on the decompression table while the system applies gentle, precise traction to the targeted area of your spine. The process is controlled and gradual, there is no sudden or forceful movement involved.
Treatment is typically delivered over a series of visits, with the number and frequency determined by your condition and how your body responds. At North Texas Injury and Wellness, spinal decompression is often combined with chiropractic adjustments, electrical therapy, or musculoskeletal rehabilitation to support a more complete recovery.
A Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Approach to Pain Relief
One of the most important aspects of spinal decompression is what it avoids. There are no medications, no injections, and no surgical risk. For patients who are wary of long-term reliance on pain management drugs, or who want to exhaust conservative treatment options before considering an invasive procedure, spinal decompression represents a meaningful alternative.
Dr. Odom and the team at North Texas Injury and Wellness take an integrated approach to care. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we work to understand the underlying source of your pain and build a treatment plan designed to address it directly. Spinal decompression fits naturally within that philosophy, it works with the body’s own healing capacity rather than around it.
