Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression in Green Bay WI
A gentle, FDA-approved treatment that relieves pressure on spinal discs, reduces nerve irritation, and promotes natural healing for long-lasting pain relief.
Spinal decompression is a safe, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce disc pressure, restore hydration, and relieve chronic pain caused by disc injuries or nerve compression. At Cornerstone Chiropractic, we use advanced, computer-guided technology to deliver precise decompression for patients struggling with back pain, neck pain, sciatica, tingling, numbness, or symptoms caused by degenerative disc conditions.
Spinal Decompression helps with:
Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Sciatica and pinched nerves
Chronic lower-back or neck pain
Pain radiating into the arms or legs
Post-surgical spinal complications
This modern treatment is comfortable, non-invasive, and clinically supported to deliver meaningful and lasting relief.
How Spinal Decompression Works
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine in a controlled manner, creating a negative pressure inside the disc. This change allows water, oxygen, and essential nutrients to flow back into the damaged disc — helping it rehydrate and function better over time.
At Cornerstone Chiropractic, our decompression system uses a computerized traction table to apply targeted, consistent forces to the affected area. This method has been shown to be effective in up to 86% of patients with pain related to disc herniation or bulging — even in cases where surgery did not provide relief.
The Benefits of Decompression Therapy
During each session, the spine goes through a gentle cycle of loading and unloading, which lowers pressure inside the disc and encourages fluid exchange. As hydration improves, discs regain height and cushioning, reducing compression on nearby nerves.
Patients often experience:
Reduced nerve irritation
Improved disc function
Less radiating pain into the arms or legs
Better mobility and posture
Long-lasting symptom relief
Over time, this process supports the natural healing and recovery of the affected discs.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
A typical decompression session lasts about 15 minutes, and treatments are usually scheduled over 4–8 weeks, depending on your condition and goals.
To improve outcomes, decompression is often paired with:
Gentle strengthening exercises
Stretching routines
Heat therapy
Cold therapy
Electrical muscle stimulation
Our focus is not only to help your discs heal but also to improve the strength and stability of the muscles supporting the spine — giving you the best chance for a long-term recovery.
