At Active Chiropractic & Wellness, one of the most common concerns we see in our patients is spinal compression; whether it’s due to poor posture, long hours at a desk, physical stress, or previous injury. That’s where our decompression chair comes in. This innovative piece of equipment is a powerful tool for relieving pressure along the spine, improving mobility, and supporting long-term healing.
What Is a Decompression Chair?
The decompression chair is designed to gently stretch the spine and reduce pressure on the discs between your vertebrae. Unlike traditional inversion tables, this chair offers controlled, targeted decompression while keeping you comfortably seated in a neutral position. It allows us to address specific spinal areas based on your unique needs and posture analysis.
How Does It Work?
Spinal decompression therapy works by:
- Creating space between vertebrae to relieve pressure on nerves
- Promoting the movement of fluids, oxygen, and nutrients into spinal discs to support healing
- Reducing pain caused by herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and chronic back conditions
At Active, the decompression chair is often used as part of a broader corrective chiropractic care plan, making it an ideal complement to spinal adjustments and posture correction.
What Conditions Can It Help With?
You don’t have to live with chronic discomfort. Decompression therapy can be effective for:
- Low back pain and stiffness
- Sciatica or leg pain
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Spinal degeneration
- Neck tension and headaches
- Postural stress (including tech neck)
What to Expect
Your session on the decompression chair is:
- Comfortable and non-invasive
- Personalized based on your spinal assessment
- Just 10–15 minutes long
- Often followed by additional therapies to maximize results
Most patients feel relief after just a few sessions, and consistent use can lead to long-term structural improvements.
Is It Right for You?
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic back pain, or simply want to support your spine health, the decompression chair could be a powerful addition to your wellness routine. Book an appointment with Dr. Patrick to see if it’s the right fit for your care plan.
