Non-Surgical Relief for Disc Pain and Sciatica
Advanced spinal decompression therapy that reduces pressure on nerves and helps herniated discs heal naturally.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure on compressed discs and pinched nerves. Using a specialized traction table, Dr. Tanner creates negative pressure within the disc, allowing herniated or bulging material to retract and promoting nutrient-rich fluid flow for healing.
This FDA-cleared therapy is particularly effective for disc herniations, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease—conditions that often lead patients down the path toward surgery.
Spinal decompression offers a conservative, evidence-based alternative that many patients find life-changing.

What to Expect
Initial Evaluation
Dr. Tanner reviews your imaging (MRI or X-ray) and performs a thorough examination to determine if you're a candidate for spinal decompression.
The Treatment
You'll lie comfortably on a computerized traction table. Gentle, controlled force is applied to your spine, creating cycles of decompression and relaxation. Most patients find the treatment relaxing.
Session Duration
Each session lasts 20-30 minutes. Most patients require 15-20 sessions over 4-6 weeks for optimal results.
Complementary Care
Spinal decompression works best when combined with chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercise, and therapeutic modalities to address muscle imbalances and movement dysfunction.
Progressive Relief
Many patients experience reduced pain within the first few sessions, with continued improvement throughout the treatment plan.
