The basics

What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical traction-based therapy that gently stretches and de-loads the spine to create negative pressure inside the disc. That negative pressure helps pull bulged or herniated material back toward center and rehydrates the disc with the nutrients it needs to heal. It's one of the most evidence-supported alternatives to back surgery for the right patient.

Our process

How spinal decompression works at Synergy Spine

  1. 01

    We confirm imaging or order an MRI when needed to identify the exact disc level.

  2. 02

    You lie comfortably on a decompression table, fully clothed, with a soft harness.

  3. 03

    The table applies a precise, computer-controlled pull-and-release pattern over 2030 minutes.

  4. 04

    Most Eldorado patients pair decompression with adjustments and home spinal hygiene to lock in results.

FAQ

Common questions about spinal decompression in Eldorado

QDoes spinal decompression really work for herniated discs in Eldorado patients?

Yes, for the right candidate. Multiple peer-reviewed studies show non-surgical decompression can reduce intra-discal pressure to negative levels, which is the mechanism that helps a herniation retract. We've helped many Eldorado-area patients avoid surgery this way, but we're up-front when imaging shows decompression isn't the right tool.

QIs spinal decompression painful?

It shouldn't be. Most patients find sessions relaxing, many even fall asleep on the table. If you feel pinching or sharp pain we adjust the protocol or stop the session.

QHow many decompression sessions will I need?

Most cases respond within 20 sessions over 68 weeks, then taper. We re-exam every 12 visits and stop care the moment we hit a plateau or the goal.

QHow is this different from regular traction or an inversion table?

Regular traction pulls steadily, which causes the muscles to guard against the pull. Modern decompression uses a computer-controlled pull-and-release pattern that bypasses the guarding reflex and produces actual negative pressure inside the disc. Inversion tables can help mild cases but can't reliably deliver the targeted, segmental pull that decompression does.
