Introduction
Back pain and sciatica can make even simple daily activities feel impossible — sitting, walking, or getting out of bed can all trigger discomfort. For many people in Cibolo, Schertz, and the Northeast San Antonio area, spinal decompression therapy offers a powerful, non-surgical solution to relieve pain and restore function.
At Peak Performance & Functional Chiropractic, we use advanced spinal decompression therapy to help patients reduce nerve pressure, improve mobility, and heal naturally — without medication or invasive procedures.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, computer-guided technique that slowly stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves.
Over time, daily stress, injuries, and posture can cause spinal discs to bulge or herniate, pressing on nearby nerves — often leading to sciatica, numbness, or radiating pain.
During decompression, the spine is gently elongated in a controlled manner, creating negative pressure inside the discs. This helps draw nutrients, oxygen, and fluids back into the disc — promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
🩺 In short: decompression helps the spine heal from the inside out — safely and naturally.
Conditions That Respond Well to Decompression Therapy
Decompression therapy can help a variety of spine-related conditions, including:
Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Sciatica and nerve compression
Chronic lower back or neck pain
Facet joint pain
Postural imbalances and stiffness
Patients often notice improvement after just a few sessions, especially when decompression is combined with chiropractic adjustments and targeted rehab.
How Decompression Therapy Feels
A typical session lasts about 15–20 minutes. You’ll lie comfortably on a specialized decompression table while the system gently stretches and relaxes the spine in cycles.
Most patients describe it as relaxing and pain-free — some even fall asleep during treatment. Afterward, many feel immediate relief and improved flexibility.
