What Makes Spinal Decompression Therapy so Effective?
Proper assessment, correct positioning and the use of detailed human movement patterns of distraction and relaxation reduces disc pressure.
This allows necessary nutrients to enliven and accelerate disc healing. Blood and nutrients are absorbed into the spinal discs making the living tissue stronger and healthier.
- It eases the pressure on your spinal discs, providing immediate pain relief
- Increases circulation to the damaged disc, allowing it to receive the nutrients it needs to heal
- With consistent treatment, you can regain mobility and end nagging back pain
Why Choose Spinal Decompression Therapy for Herniated Discs
Non-Surgical Alternative
Spinal decompression therapy offers a non-invasive treatment option for those looking to avoid the risks and lengthy recovery time associated with surgery. It’s an attractive choice for patients seeking a less aggressive approach to managing their herniated disc.
Pain Management and Relief
Spinal decompression therapy is specifically designed to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs, which can significantly reduce pain caused by herniated discs. It’s a targeted approach that can provide symptomatic relief and improve quality of life.
Restoration of Mobility
By reducing disc herniation and promoting the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the discs, spinal decompression can enhance flexibility and mobility. This is crucial for patients who want to maintain an active lifestyle or return to work without limitations.
Prevention of Further Degeneration
Regular sessions of spinal decompression therapy can help prevent the progression of disc damage by promoting the intake of healing nutrients. This proactive approach can be a key factor in a patient’s decision to choose this therapy at Core Wellness Centre.

Spinal Decompression Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
Are There Conditions Where Spinal Decompression Therapy is Not Recommended?
Spinal decompression therapy is not recommended for pregnant women, patients who have severe osteoporosis, severe obesity or severe nerve damage.
Spinal surgery with instrumentation (screws or metal plates) is also contraindicated. However, spinal decompression therapy after bone fusion or non-fusion surgery, can be performed.
Are the Sessions Painful?
In almost all cases, the treatments are completely painless. In fact, some patients fall asleep during the spinal decompression session.
How Many Sessions Will be Required?
The specific treatment plan will be determined after your examination. The best results have been achieved using 15-20 sessions over a 4 to 8 week period.
What is the Cost of Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Our customary fee for each spinal decompression session is only $70 which means the total cost will be a small fraction of the $3000 -$5000+ amounts that some offices are charging.
Will Insurance Cover the Cost of My Spinal Decompression Program?
YES! Some insurance plans provide coverage for the cost of our spinal decompression program. Our office works with most insurance companies and networks. We offer many modalities covered by insurance providers for services of chiropractic, physiotherapy and registered massage therapy in our office.
Reimbursement varies but your out-of-pocket expense for services could be very little to none.
For insurance related questions, ask us to help you find out the right information for you when you come to the office.
Do Most Patients Receive Therapy and Rehabilitative Exercises in Addition to Spinal Decompression Therapy?
To reduce inflammation and assist the healing process, supporting structures are treated with passive therapies (ice/heat/muscle stimulation), healthy living advice, spinal mobilization (as indicated) and/or active rehabilitation in order to strengthen the spinal musculature.
For patients interested in fixing back issues and want an effective treatment plan, we offer a complementary initial assessment which includes in-house X-Rays, and provide a detailed Report of Findings which includes reviewing any X-Rays taken and previous MRI or CT scans.
