Decompression Candidacy Evaluation

We review your history and imaging, then give you a direct answer on whether decompression fits your case.

Honest evaluation. If decompression isn’t right for your case, we’ll tell you and point you toward what is.

Disc and Nerve Pain Do Not Respond to Standard Care

You have done the medications. The physical therapy. The injections. Maybe surgery was suggested. Maybe another chiropractor adjusted you for months without lasting results. Discs and pinched nerves need direct decompression, not just an adjustment.

Spinal decompression at Bolt Chiropractic targets the disc itself, not just the surrounding muscles.

What Spinal Decompression Does

Spinal decompression uses gentle, controlled traction to stretch the spine. This creates negative pressure inside the disc, pulls herniated or bulging material back toward center, and takes pressure off compressed nerves. It is non-surgical, drug-free, and performed while you are fully clothed and comfortable on the table.

Primary Treatment Spinal decompression treatment at Bolt Chiropractic

Spinal Decompression

Pulls pressure off compressed discs and pinched nerves. Treats herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back and neck pain at the source.

Shockwave therapy treatment at Bolt Chiropractic

Shockwave Therapy

Often paired with decompression to break down scar tissue and speed healing in surrounding soft tissue.

Therapeutic laser treatment at Bolt Chiropractic

Therapeutic Laser

Reduces inflammation around the treated disc and nerve, supporting the results of decompression sessions.

How a Decompression Session Works

1

Lie Down, Fully Clothed

You rest on a padded table. No needles, no incisions.

2

Controlled Traction

The table stretches your spine in cycles, targeting the affected disc level.

3

15-30 Minutes

Sessions are quick. Most patients return to normal activity right after.

  • Sciatica and radiating leg pain
