Signs You Could Benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy

If back pain, nerve discomfort, or stiffness is disrupting your daily life, you may be wondering if spinal decompression therapy is the right option for you. At Stinson Chiropractic Center, we help patients find lasting, non-surgical relief for chronic spinal issues — and spinal decompression is one of the most effective tools we offer.
Here are seven signs that you might be an ideal candidate for this safe and proven treatment.
1. Persistent Lower Back Pain
If lower back discomfort lingers for weeks or months — even after rest, stretching, or other therapies — it may be due to compressed spinal discs. Spinal decompression gently relieves this pressure and can ease your pain.
2. Bulging or Herniated Discs
This therapy is especially helpful if you’ve been diagnosed with a bulging or herniated disc. By creating space between the vertebrae, spinal decompression allows the disc to move back into place and reduces nerve irritation.
3. Radiating Pain Down the Legs or Arms
Pain that shoots from your back into your legs or arms could be a sign of sciatica or pinched nerves. Decompression therapy helps relieve that nerve pressure by restoring spinal alignment and reducing inflammation.
4. Numbness, Tingling, or Weakness
If you’ve noticed unusual sensations or weakness in your limbs, it could indicate nerve involvement. Spinal decompression can help restore normal nerve function by reducing compression in the spine.
5. Looking for a Non-Surgical Alternative
For many patients, spinal surgery feels like a last resort. Spinal decompression is a non-invasive option that can offer real results — without the risks, recovery time, or cost of surgery.
6. Other Treatments Haven’t Worked
Tried chiropractic adjustments, massage, or physical therapy with limited success? Spinal decompression can be the missing piece in your recovery plan — especially when disc or nerve pressure is the root cause.
7. You’ve Been Diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related disc wear can lead to back stiffness, discomfort, and limited mobility. Spinal decompression may help restore disc height and reduce related symptoms over time.
