Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression in Glenwood Springs
Non-Surgical Spinal
Decompression
Gentle traction for disc and nerve pain—without surgery
If you’re dealing with a herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease, spinal decompression is a conservative option designed to relieve pressure on irritated discs and nerves. We pair decompression with targeted rehab and chiropractic care so relief turns into durable results.
How Spinal Decompression Works
A specialized table gently cycles between pulling and relaxing.
Those carefully controlled “traction” cycles:
- Reduce pressure on the disc and nearby nerves
- Encourage nutrient flow into the disc to support healing
- Let muscles relax so movement feels easier afterward
You’re comfortably strapped in, you can stop at any time, and most people find sessions relaxing.
What to Expect
Evaluation & Candidacy Check
We review your history, perform movement and orthopedic tests, and order imaging only if needed.
Personalized Plan
- Session length: typically 15–25 minutes
- Frequency: often 2–3 visits/week early on
- Duration: commonly 12–24 visits, adjusted to your response and goals
Comfortable Sessions
You’ll feel a gentle pull/relax pattern—no sharp movements. Most patients finish feeling looser.
Reinforce the Gains
We add simple home exercises and, when appropriate, chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue work, acupuncture/dry needling, and core/hip stability work to support lasting change.
Who It Helps
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica and leg pain from nerve irritation
- Degenerative disc disease (DDD) and chronic low back pain
- Certain cases of neck pain related to discs
Not every case is appropriate for decompression. We’ll screen you first and explain the best options for your specific condition.
Are You a Candidate?
Great for many disc-related conditions. Decompression may not be appropriate with recent fractures, severe osteoporosis, certain post-surgical hardware, active spinal infection, or pregnancy. We’ll review your history carefully and guide you to the safest, most effective plan.

Will a disc “go back in”?
The goal is pressure relief and better mechanics, which can reduce pain from irritated discs and nerves.
Can I exercise while in care?
Often yes—light mobility and core work help. We’ll tailor guidance to your case.

Coverage varies by plan. We’ll verify benefits and outline any out-of-pocket costs before you start.
