Relieve Pressure. Restore Comfort. Reclaim Your Life.
At Phoenixville Chiropractic, we offer mechanical traction—also known as spinal decompression therapy—to help patients get lasting relief from disc-related conditions, nerve pain, and chronic back problems. This safe, non-surgical treatment gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure, promote healing, and restore function.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a specialized therapy that uses a traction table or mechanical device to slowly and gently stretch the spine. This stretching creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, which can:
-
Relieve pressure on pinched nerves
-
Promote rehydration and healing of spinal discs
-
Improve nutrient flow to damaged tissues
-
Reduce inflammation and muscle guarding
Unlike surgical decompression, mechanical traction is non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime.
How It Works
During treatment, you’ll lie comfortably on a decompression table while the machine applies gentle, controlled traction to specific areas of your spine. Each session typically lasts 15–20 minutes. Most patients find the experience relaxing and even report immediate relief after the first few visits.
Dr. Andrew Timar carefully customizes the settings and treatment plan based on your condition, ensuring a comfortable and effective experience.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is especially helpful for conditions that involve pressure on spinal discs or nerves, such as:
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Degenerative disc disease
-
Sciatica
-
Pinched nerves
-
Spinal stenosis
-
Chronic neck or low back pain
-
Postural disc strain from prolonged sitting
If you're experiencing shooting pain, numbness, tingling, or limited mobility caused by a disc or nerve issue, spinal decompression could be a key part of your recovery.
Why Choose Decompression Therapy at Phoenixville Chiropractic?
At Phoenixville Chiropractic, we understand that spinal conditions can be debilitating and frustrating. That's why Dr. Timar takes the time to listen, assess, and design a care plan that combines decompression with other proven therapies—like spinal adjustments, manual therapy, and rehab exercises—for long-lasting results.
We don’t believe in “band-aid” care. We’re here to help you heal completely.
Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is ideal for patients who:
-
Want to avoid surgery or injections
-
Haven’t found relief from traditional chiropractic alone
-
Have recurring disc-related pain or sciatica
-
Are recovering from a spine injury and need gentle support
-
Sit or stand for long periods and suffer from disc strain
Dr. Timar will evaluate your spine and health history to determine if decompression is appropriate for your condition.
