Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression in Newmarket

Relief-Focused Care for Disc-Related Back & Neck Pain

If you’re dealing with persistent back or neck pain due to disc injury or nerve compression, non-surgical spinal decompression may be an appropriate treatment option. At Chiropractic on Eagle, we offer spinal decompression in Newmarket as part of a structured, evidence-informed approach to spinal care.

Our goal is simple: reduce pressure on irritated spinal structures, support healing, and help you return to normal activity safely.

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment designed to reduce pressure within the spinal discs.

Using controlled, gentle traction, decompression therapy:

• Creates negative pressure inside the disc
• Helps bulging or herniated discs retract
• Reduces mechanical stress on spinal nerves
• Encourages improved circulation of oxygen, fluids, and nutrients into the disc
• Promotes movement in spinal joints in a way that helps relieve stiffness

This process supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms and can help reduce pain and stiffness over time.

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?

1. Comprehensive Assessment

Before beginning care, we perform a detailed evaluation, which may include:

• A full health history
• Orthopedic and neurological testing
• Digital X-rays of the neck or low back (when indicated)
• Review of any previous imaging – MRI or CT scan – results

This step is critical to determine whether spinal decompression is appropriate and safe for your condition.

2. Decompression Treatment Sessions

During treatment:

• You’ll be positioned comfortably on a specialized decompression table
• The affected area (neck or low back) is gently secured
• The system applies controlled cycles of traction and relaxation

This gradual process helps reduce disc pressure without forcing or aggressive stretching.

Sessions are typically scheduled consistently over several weeks, as disc healing takes time and repetition to be effective.

3. Supportive Care & Recovery

Spinal decompression is rarely used in isolation. Depending on your needs, care may also include:

• Chiropractic adjustments
• Corrective or stabilization exercises
• Postural guidance
• Lifestyle or activity recommendations

This integrated approach helps protect the spine and improve long-term outcomes.

What Conditions Does Spinal Decompression Help?

Decompression can be effective in treating a range of conditions that cause back or neck pain, including:

1. Herniated or Bulging Discs:

• By relieving pressure on the discs, spinal decompression can help reduce pain and improve mobility in patients with herniated or bulging discs.

2. Degenerative Disc Disease:

• This therapy can alleviate symptoms associated with degenerative disc disease, including chronic pain and stiffness.

3. Sciatica:

• Decompression can relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing pain, numbness, and tingling that radiates down the legs.

4. Facet Syndrome:

• Facet joints, which are small joints located between each vertebra, can become irritated or inflamed. Spinal decompression helps relieve the pressure on these joints, reducing pain and discomfort.

5. Spinal Stenosis:

• This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the spinal cord and nerves. Spinal decompression can help by creating more space within the spinal canal.

6. Pinched Nerves:

• If you’re suffering from a pinched nerve, spinal decompression can help relieve the pressure, allowing the nerve to heal.

7. Post-Surgical Pain:

• For some patients who have undergone back surgery and continue to experience pain, decompression can provide relief.

8. Stubborn Back or Neck Pain

• For some patients who have undergone other treatments that have failed, or produced mediocre results, a trial of decompression therapy may be helpful.
