How does spinal decompression differ from regular traction?

Unlike static traction which triggers muscle spasms, computerized decompression uses logarithmic tension cycles that relax surrounding muscles to specifically target the damaged disc.

Can I avoid surgery with decompression therapy?

In many cases, non-surgical decompression successfully resolves symptoms by relieving nerve root compression without surgery or epidural injections.

How many sessions are typically required?

A standard course ranges from 12 to 24 sessions depending on the severity, chronicity, and size of the disc bulge.

What are Disc Herniation & Spinal Decompression?

Non-Surgical Spinal Disc Healing in Calgary

Intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers between your spinal vertebrae. When a disc tears, bulges, or herniates, its gel-like nucleus pulposus presses directly against spinal nerves, causing excruciating local back pain and radiating nerve pain (sciatica).

At Urgent Care Chiropractic Centre, we offer advanced, non-surgical disc decompression protocols combined with gentle flexion-distraction technique to restore disc height and promote nutrient diffusion into the damaged disc tissue.

Safe, gentle care designed to prevent the need for invasive spinal surgery.

How is the process?

A simple, structured pathway—from consult to a clear plan.

Diagnostic Assessment & MRI Review

Evaluating your symptoms and reviewing imaging to determine disc stage.

Targeted Decompression Sessions

Gentle computerized cyclic distraction creates negative pressure within the disc.

Nutrient & Oxygen Infusion
