A non-surgical option for selected spinal complaints.
Spinal decompression therapy applies specific computerized cyclical distraction forces to a targeted area of the spine. The intent is to reduce pressure on injured structures and support recovery in appropriately selected patients.
An evaluation is necessary before decompression is recommended. The therapy may be used as one part of a broader plan rather than as a stand-alone solution for every patient.
What a decompression visit is like
Decompression is a passive treatment. A decompression table applies computerized cyclical distraction forces to a targeted part of the spine: gentle, alternating cycles of traction and release rather than one continuous pull.
Sessions are quiet and there is nothing you need to do during them. Decompression is normally one part of a broader plan rather than a stand-alone treatment, and how many visits are recommended, and how they are spaced, depends entirely on the evaluation. Whether decompression is appropriate at all is decided case by case.
Conditions and situations that may be considered
Treatment suitability depends on an individual evaluation. This page summarizes services and conditions currently described by Apex and should not be read as a diagnosis or guarantee of outcome.
Care that evolves as you do
A service is only one part of the plan. Apex’s broader approach moves from relief toward restored movement and, when appropriate, longer-term wellness and performance goals. See
