What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-surgical procedure used by our Chiropractors in Brooklyn, NY that effectively treats disabling pain in the lower back, neck, radiating arms & legs, as well as headaches. Decompression Therapy is a highly successful treatment for patients suffering from bulging, herniated, degenerative, or ruptured discs, as well as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many failed back surgery cases. It does this by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning.
Spinal Decompression Therapy effectively enhances the healing process and often renders quick, effective, and amazing pain relief that enables most patients to return to a more active lifestyle. Research to develop this procedure was conducted by prominent physicians, engineers, and technicians at major teaching hospitals. This treatment helps patients avoid the risk of anesthesia, surgical complications, and the potential of failed back surgery.
What to expect?
Spinal Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions, typically 2-3 times per week. Each session is approximately 8-12 minutes. During each session, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and therapeutic laser may be applied to help relax muscles and promote further healing of injured tissues. After treatment, the doctor may prescribe specific exercises designed to help the patient regain proper control and strength of the stabilization muscles which can help create long term benefits.

Spinal Decompression FAQ
1. How does spinal decompression therapy work?
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine using a motorized table or traction device. This relieves pressure on the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract, promoting healing and relieving pain.
2. What conditions does spinal decompression help with?
It’s commonly used to treat herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, and spinal stenosis—especially in the lower back and neck.
3. Is spinal decompression therapy painful?
No, most patients find the treatment comfortable or even relaxing. You may feel gentle stretching, but it shouldn’t be painful.
4. How many sessions will I need?
 Most treatment plans include between 15–30 sessions over several weeks. The exact number depends on your specific condition and response to therapy.
5. Can spinal decompression be combined with other treatments?
Yes. At Physio Logic, spinal decompression is often combined with chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, or acupuncture for optimal recovery and long-term results.
