Advanced Disc & Nerve Pain Relief Without Surgery
At Healthwise Chiropractic, we provide advanced non-surgical spinal decompression therapy designed to help patients suffering from disc injuries, sciatica, nerve compression, chronic back pain, and neck pain.
Using a modern motorised decompression table, treatment gently stretches and unloads the spine in controlled cycles to reduce pressure on spinal discs, joints, and irritated nerves. The goal is to create space within the spine to help improve movement, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural healing process.
Spinal decompression is commonly used for patients with:
-
Bulging or Herniated Discs
-
Sciatica & Nerve Pain
-
Degenerative Disc Disease
-
Chronic Lower Back Pain
-

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
A Modern Non-Surgical Approach to Disc & Nerve Pain
Spinal decompression therapy is a specialised form of mechanical traction designed to gently unload pressure from the spine. Treatment is performed on a motorised decompression table that applies controlled stretching forces to targeted spinal segments.
The therapy aims to:
-
Reduce pressure on compressed spinal nerves
-
Improve movement within spinal joints
-
Reduce disc irritation
-
Improve circulation around injured tissues
-
Help support disc hydration & healing
Unlike traditional traction, modern decompression systems use computer-controlled cycles designed to avoid muscle guarding and improve patient comfort.
At Healthwise Chiropractic, spinal decompression is typically combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, laser therapy, and soft tissue therapy depending on your condition and goals.
How Spinal Decompression Works
Creating Space & Reducing Pressure Within the Spine
During treatment, the decompression table gently stretches the spine using precise automated cycles. This creates a reduction in pressure inside the spinal discs and surrounding joints. Some studies and clinical theories suggest this negative pressure may help reduce nerve compression and support disc healing.
