What is spinal decompression therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. At Tallahassee Spinal Care, we use the DRX9000 system to promote disc healing and reduce chronic back or neck pain.

Does spinal decompression therapy really work?

Many patients experience significant relief from disc herniations, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. The therapy helps restore motion, improve circulation, and relieve nerve compression without surgery or medication.

How long does each spinal decompression session take?

Most decompression sessions last about 25 to 30 minutes. Treatment plans are typically scheduled several times per week for a few weeks, depending on the patient’s condition and recovery goals.

Is spinal decompression safe?

Yes. Spinal decompression is FDA-cleared and considered a safe, gentle therapy when performed by a qualified provider. It uses precisely controlled traction, monitored by computer, to ensure comfort and safety throughout each session.

What spine-related problems do you treat?

We help with neck pain, mid-back pain, lower back pain, sciatica, disc bulges or herniations, degenerative disc disease, and posture-related strain. Care plans are personalized after examination and imaging when appropriate.

How can chiropractic care help back or neck pain?

Chiropractic adjustments restore joint motion and reduce irritation to surrounding tissues. We combine precise spinal adjustments with corrective exercise and, when indicated, non-surgical decompression for disc and nerve issues.

When is spinal decompression recommended instead of only adjustments?

Decompression is considered for patients with disc-related conditions—such as herniation, bulge, or sciatica—who may benefit from reduced intradiscal pressure. Your doctor recommends it only after reviewing history, exam findings, and imaging.

Is chiropractic treatment safe?

Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when performed by a licensed provider. We use gentle, precise techniques—including upper cervical methods when appropriate—and tailor care to your age, condition, and goals.

How many visits will I need and how long are appointments?

Visit frequency varies by condition. Initial relief care often involves several visits over a few weeks, with each appointment typically 15–30 minutes. Your plan and progress are reviewed regularly.

Do you accept insurance or offer payment options?

We provide detailed receipts and can verify benefits for medically necessary services. Many patients use HSA/FSA funds, and flexible payment options are available. Our team can review your specific coverage.

Why Body Balance Matters

When the spine loses its natural alignment—often after injuries, accidents, or daily stress—the body compensates by shifting posture. Over time, this imbalance puts pressure on nerves, joints, and discs, leading to pain and stiffness.

NUCCA care restores the spine to a balanced position using precise, gentle adjustments—without twisting or cracking—so your body can move, heal, and function the way it’s designed to.
