Spinal Decompression: Non-Surgical Relief for Disc & Nerve Pain
Bulging or herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back or neck pain often come from excessive pressure on spinal joints and nerves. At Hugo Chiropractic, we offer non-surgical spinal decompression therapy designed to gently reduce disc pressure, improve motion, and support long-term healing without injections or surgery.
Spinal decompression uses a specialized table to apply controlled traction cycles to the spine, creating space between vertebrae and reducing irritation to compressed nerves. This allows improved circulation, disc hydration, and symptom relief while remaining comfortable and safe.
Common conditions helped by spinal decompression: Herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica or radiating leg pain, chronic low back pain, neck pain with arm numbness or tingling, pinched nerves, and disc-related headaches.
Care plan: Customized decompression protocols, chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, corrective exercises, posture and ergonomic coaching, and activity guidance to support lasting results—not just temporary relief.
Local patients & commuters: We frequently help patients from Hugo, White Bear Lake, Forest Lake, Lino Lakes, and Centerville who struggle with disc pain from long commutes, physically demanding jobs, or repetitive strain.
What is spinal decompression therapy, and is it safe?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, computer-guided therapy that gently stretches the spine to reduce disc pressure. It is safe for most patients when performed after a thorough chiropractic exam. We carefully screen for conditions like fractures, severe osteoporosis, or spinal instability before starting care. Patients from Hugo, White Bear Lake, Forest Lake, Lino Lakes, and Centerville regularly choose decompression as a conservative option.
What conditions respond best to spinal decompression?
Decompression is commonly used for disc bulges or herniations, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, and chronic neck or low back pain. It works best when combined with chiropractic adjustments, muscle work, and targeted exercises to stabilize the spine and prevent recurrence.
How many spinal decompression sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary depending on severity, duration of symptoms, and overall spinal health. Many patients complete a short series over several weeks, with progress reassessed regularly. Our goal is measurable improvement and a transition to active care—not endless passive treatment.
