Chronic back pain, herniated discs, or sciatica can disrupt your daily life and limit your mobility. At Crown Chiropractic Clinics in Richardson, we offer non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, a safe and effective treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine, promote healing, and restore comfort without injections or surgery.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a gentle, motorized therapy that stretches the spine in a controlled manner. This movement helps:

  • Create space between vertebrae

  • Relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves

  • Increase blood flow and nutrients to damaged tissue

  • Promote disc rehydration and healing

It’s completely non-invasive, relaxing, and typically done while you lie comfortably on a decompression table.

Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression?


Spinal decompression therapy is especially helpful for patients with:

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Sciatica or nerve root compression

  • Chronic neck or low back pain

  • Pain after failed back surgery (in some cases)

We start with a detailed exam to determine whether spinal decompression is the right option for your condition.

What to Expect at Crown Chiropractic Clinics


  • Personalized Evaluation: 

    We identify the root cause of your pain using orthopedic exams, spinal assessments, and your health history.

  • Custom Treatment Plan: 

    Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes and are combined with other therapies like chiropractic adjustments or soft tissue rehab to enhance results.

  • Gentle, Comfortable Care: 

    Most patients describe the treatment as relaxing, with no downtime or discomfort.

Common Questions and Answers


Q: How many spinal decompression sessions will I need?

A: Most patients see significant improvement after 8 to 15 sessions, though some may require a full course of 20–25 sessions depending on severity and response.

Q: Is spinal decompression painful?

A: Not at all. The process is gentle, and many patients feel immediate relief or a light stretching sensation. There's no recovery time needed.

Q: Can I do spinal decompression along with chiropractic adjustments?
