Spinal Decompression in St Paul
Gentle, Non-Invasive Support for Neck and Back Pain
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, drug-free therapy designed to gently relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. Whether you’re dealing with neck tension, radiating pain down your arms or legs, or long-term lower back discomfort, spinal decompression may help restore comfort and mobility.
Conditions We Commonly Support
Spinal decompression can be helpful for a variety of spine-related concerns, including: Bulging or herniated discs, pinched nerves, degenerative disc conditions, sciatica and leg pain, neck tension and tech neck, numbness or tingling, headaches or ringing in the ears, spasms or stiffness, spinal stenosis, loss of spinal curve, severe arthritis, post-accident recovery.
Cervical Decompression (Neck Decompression)
Gentle relief for neck tension and radiating pain
If you’re experiencing neck pain, tightness, or tingling that travels down your arms, cervical decompression may offer relief. This gentle, non-invasive therapy is designed to reduce pressure on the discs and nerves in your neck. Using a specially designed table or supportive headrest, your cervical spine is gently stretched to create more space between the vertebrae.
The result? Less compression, better mobility, and often, a noticeable reduction in discomfort. It’s great for things like tech neck, herniated discs, pinched nerves, chronic neck tension, or post-accident care.
Lumbar Decompression (Lower Back Decompression)
Targeted support for low back pain and sciatica
Lumbar decompression focuses on relieving lower back pain and related symptoms such as sciatica. While you relax on a motorized table, your spine is gently and safely stretched in a controlled rhythm. This movement allows bulging discs to retract and encourages circulation to the injured area, supporting the healing process. It’s a drug-free, non-surgical option for long-term relief. Great for: Sciatica, bulging or herniated discs, chronic lower back pain, or injury recovery after a car accident.
What to Expect
Your first visit includes a full assessment to determine if spinal decompression is right for you. During each session, you’ll lie comfortably on a decompression table. The table uses a gentle pull-and-release pattern over about 20 minutes, allowing your spine to relax, realign, and rehydrate. As the spinal vertebrae separate slightly, it creates a “respiration effect” that increases circulation, brings in healing nutrients, and flushes out inflammation. This helps reduce nerve pressure, decrease pain signals, and encourage lasting healing. Because long-term symptoms may take time to resolve, multiple sessions are often needed to reinforce spinal alignment and support muscle memory.
Ongoing Wellness
Many patients choose to continue with monthly or biweekly maintenance sessions once their initial care plan is complete. Your chiropractor will recommend a personalized schedule to help you feel and function your best.
