Spinal Decompression

At Inside Health Clinic in Oakville, we offer spinal decompression therapy as a non-surgical approach designed to help reduce discomfort and support recovery from certain spine-related conditions.

This gentle, traction-based technique applies a controlled stretching force to either the neck or lower back. The goal is to help reduce pressure within spinal discs, encourage nutrient exchange, and support the natural healing processes of surrounding tissues.

How Spinal Decompression May Help

Spinal decompression therapy may be recommended as part of a comprehensive care plan for individuals experiencing:

  • • Low back or neck discomfort

  •  
  • • Sciatica or radiating nerve pain

  •  
  • • Degenerative disc changes

  •  
  • • Spinal stenosis

  •  
  • • Post-operative stiffness or mechanical pain

 

Your chiropractor will assess whether this approach is appropriate for your specific needs and overall treatment goals.

Potential Benefits of Spinal Decompression

What to Expect During a Session

A typical session lasts 20 minutes and is performed using a traction table.

During treatment, you’ll remain comfortably positioned while gentle stretching forces are applied to the spine.

The number and frequency of sessions are determined based on your individual condition, response to care, and clinical assessment by your chiropractor.

Integrative Support for Recovery

Many patients choose to combine spinal decompression with complementary treatments such as chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercise, or naturopathic care.

At Inside Health, your care plan is personalized to support mobility, comfort, and long-term spine health.
