At ProBack, spinal decompression therapy is one of our cornerstone non-surgical treatments designed to address chronic back and neck pain. This gentle, computer-controlled treatment leverages a traction mechanism to relieve pressure on spinal discs — offering a safe, effective alternative to more invasive procedures.
How It Works
Spinal decompression works by applying a controlled, gentle stretch to the spine. This process helps create a negative pressure inside the spinal discs, generating a kind of vacuum within the disc space.
This negative pressure helps in two critical ways:
-
It can draw bulging or herniated disc material back toward the center, reducing nerve impingement.
-
It encourages the influx of nutrient-rich fluids (oxygen, water, and minerals) into the disc, supporting natural healing and rehydration.
The result is a more favorable environment inside the disc — one that helps repair damage and restore function.
What Conditions It Helps With
Spinal decompression at ProBack can benefit a variety of conditions, including:
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Degenerative disc disease
-
Sciatica (nerve pain radiating into the legs)
-
Chronic neck or back pain
-
Facet joint syndrome and even spinal stenosis in some cases
The Treatment Protocol
At ProBack, the typical treatment course involves 12 sessions over four to six weeks, though many studies base their protocols on 20–24 treatments.
Some patients experience immediate relief — even after the first session. For others, the benefits build gradually, often becoming more noticeable around the sixth visit. Proback Advanced Back Care
To maximize long-term benefits, spinal decompression may be combined with other supportive therapies offered at ProBack, such as:
-
K-Laser therapy to stimulate cellular healing
-
Shockwave therapy for chronic soft-tissue repair
-
Radiofrequency treatment to relax muscles or reduce pain
-
Prolotherapy / Prolozone to strengthen ligaments and joints
Why Choose Non-Surgical Decompression?
One of the greatest advantages of spinal decompression therapy is that it’s non-invasive and drug-free. There’s no surgery, and most patients experience zero downtime.
This makes it an appealing option for those who want real, measurable relief — without going under the knife. In fact, ProBack considers surgical decompression only as a last resort, recommending our non-surgical approach first.
Supporting Research and Considerations
Clinical studies show promising results: spinal decompression therapy has been linked with significant reductions in pain and improvements in mobility, as measured by common scales and physical tests.
However, while the underlying theory is well accepted, independent reviews caution that high-quality clinical evidence is still limited. As with any treatment, individual results vary.
Not everyone is a candidate. Patients with conditions like severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or certain types of surgical implants may be advised against it. That is why ProBack begins every course with a detailed exam, and where needed, x-rays to assess your spine’s condition before recommending decompression.
Real Patient Experience
Since 2007, ProBack has helped hundreds of patients achieve real relief. Many report reduced pain, less stiffness, and a renewed ability to move more freely — all without invasive surgery. Proback Advanced Back Care
Final Thoughts
Spinal decompression therapy at ProBack represents a cutting-edge, patient-centric solution for back and neck pain. By gently unloading the spine, it encourages disc healing, restores mobility, and offers hope — without bypassing the body’s natural capacity to repair itself.
If you’re struggling with persistent spinal pain, a consultation at ProBack is a strong first step. With personalised assessment and a thoughtfully designed treatment plan, we aim to put you on a path to lasting relief.
