Spinal decompression is a technique that gently stretches the spine to create a change in pressure within the disc. That shift can help retract disc material that has bulged or herniated and encourage better circulation of fluids into the disc itself. It is used for conditions including herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc pain, and does not involve surgery or medication. For patients who have been told their disc pain is something to manage rather than address, it may be worth exploring what is possible.
