Spinal decompression is a gentle treatment that helps relieve pressure on irritated nerves in the lower back. When a disc herniates, the soft inner material pushes out and can press on nearby nerve roots, leading to sharp pain, burning, tingling, or weakness that may travel into the hips, legs, or feet. Many people are told they need to live with it or jump straight to injections or surgery. Spinal decompression offers a different approach. Creating controlled stretches in the spine helps discs move into a healthier position, improves circulation, and supports the body’s own ability to calm inflammation and heal. The goal is simple and practical: relief of pain so you can sit, stand, walk, and sleep with more comfort again.
