At Abide Chiropractic, our spinal decompression therapy in Fayetteville provides a non-surgical solution for patients suffering from disc-related conditions and chronic spinal pain. By gently stretching the spine, we create space between vertebrae, reduce pressure on compressed discs and nerves, and promote the body's natural healing processes.
Combined with our neurologically-based chiropractic care including Torque Release Technique (TRT), spinal decompression offers comprehensive relief for herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and other spinal conditions. For patients with nerve-related symptoms, we also offer advanced neuropathy treatment technologies. Many patients who thought surgery was their only option have found lasting relief through our decompression program.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses motorized traction to gently stretch the spine. This stretching changes the position and force on the spinal column, creating negative pressure within the disc. This negative pressure can help:
- Retract bulging or herniated disc material – Reducing pressure on nearby nerves
- Promote nutrient and oxygen flow – Essential for disc healing and regeneration
- Reduce inflammation – Allowing damaged tissues to heal naturally
- Create space for spinal nerves – Relieving pain, numbness, and tingling
Unlike surgery, spinal decompression is completely non-invasive, requires no recovery time, and allows you to return to your normal activities immediately after each session. Treatment is typically performed while you lie comfortably on a specialized decompression table.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
Our Fayetteville spinal decompression program effectively treats a variety of disc-related and spinal conditions:
What to Expect During Treatment
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Your first visit includes a thorough examination, review of any imaging (X-rays or MRI), and assessment of your symptoms. We'll determine if spinal decompression is appropriate for your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Comfortable Treatment Sessions
During each session, you'll lie on a specialized decompression table. A harness is placed around your hips, and the table gently separates to create controlled traction. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, and many patients find the experience relaxing.
3. Complementary Care
Spinal decompression is often combined with chiropractic adjustments, electrical muscle stimulation, and therapeutic exercises for optimal results. This comprehensive approach addresses all factors contributing to your condition.

Many patients experience relief within the first few sessions, with continued improvement throughout their treatment plan. We'll monitor your progress and adjust your care as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
