Spinal decompression is non-surgical traction that gently stretches the spine to take pressure off discs and nerves. It helps people with disc herniation, sciatica and nerve compression. It's provided at our downtown Calgary clinic as part of a wider treatment plan, and we direct bill most extended health plans for treatment.

We direct bill Alberta Blue Cross, Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife and most other extended health plans for treatment and appointments.

Our Approach

We use spinal decompression as part of a broader plan that addresses the whole picture, not just the disc. Sessions are combined with manual therapy, core stabilization exercises, and posture and movement education to support long-term results, not just temporary relief.

Conditions We Treat

Herniated or Bulging Discs

Reducing pressure on the disc to relieve pain and support healing.

Taking pressure off the nerve roots that cause radiating pain down the leg.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Improving disc hydration and reducing the pain associated with disc wear and tear.

Spinal Stenosis

Creating space around compressed nerves to reduce pain, numbness, and tingling.

Facet Joint Syndrome

Relieving pressure on irritated facet joints in the spine.

Chronic Neck & Back Pain

For persistent pain that hasn't improved with other conservative care.
