Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive approach that uses motorized traction to stretch your spine and create space between vertebrae. If you’re exploring options for back pain, neck pain, or disc-related concerns, this therapy may be worth discussing with a qualified healthcare provider as an alternative to consider.
The basic approach involves your spine receiving a controlled, progressive pull that creates space between your vertebrae. This space may help reduce pressure on the nerves and discs in the treatment area. No needles. No cutting. The device is designed to work with your body’s natural structure.
How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works
When discs bulge or herniate, they may press on nerves running through your spine. During treatment, you lie on a motorized traction table that is programmed to apply controlled stretching to your spine in a structured pattern. The machine creates negative pressure inside your discs through gradual, progressive stretching.
Sessions are typically 20-30 minutes, and the treatment is designed to be comfortable. A typical treatment plan may involve multiple sessions over several weeks. Your specific protocol should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual situation.
Spinal Decompression Therapy and Common Spine-Related Concerns
Spinal decompression therapy is designed for several spine-related areas:
- Lower back
- Neck and cervical spine
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Nerve compression areas
- Post-surgical spine areas (in some cases)
If your situation involves mechanical compression of nerves, decompression therapy may be an option to explore. Consult your healthcare provider or spine specialist to determine whether this approach is appropriate for your specific condition.

What to Expect During and After Treatment
The first step is a consultation with Dr. Finucan. He will review your medical history, discuss your situation, and perform physical exams to determine whether spinal decompression may be appropriate for you.
During your sessions, you will be fully clothed and positioned comfortably. The traction is progressive and controlled. Many people find the sessions comfortable.
Your individual response timeline will vary. Some people may notice changes after a few sessions, while others may require several weeks of consistent treatment. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations based on your specific situation.
After your formal treatment plan, your provider may recommend maintenance sessions or other preventive care options. Discuss ongoing care with Dr. Finucan based on your individual needs.
