What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
A Non-Surgical Way to Relieve Disc Pressure, Ease Back and Neck Pain, and Restore Spinal Health
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves in the spine. At Metro Wellness NYC, we use advanced decompression tables that safely stretch and relax the spine—helping to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term healing.
This therapy is especially effective for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and chronic lower back or neck pain. By creating space between the vertebrae, decompression encourages nutrients, oxygen, and fluids to flow back into the discs—supporting natural repair and reducing inflammation.
If you’ve been told you might need surgery or you’re just tired of recurring flare-ups, spinal decompression may be the drug-free, surgery-free relief you’ve been looking for.
What Is Flexion-Distraction Therapy?
A Gentle Chiropractic Technique to Relieve Disc Pain, Sciatica, and Spinal Stiffness—Without Forceful Cracking
Flexion-Distraction Therapy is a safe, low-force chiropractic technique that gently stretches and mobilizes the spine. At Metro Wellness NYC, we use a specialized flexion-distraction table that rhythmically moves your spine in a controlled, pain-free motion—perfect for patients who need relief without the “popping” or twisting of traditional adjustments.
This technique is especially effective for treating herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and chronic lower back pain. By reducing pressure on spinal discs and nerves, flexion-distraction helps restore proper motion, improve alignment, and reduce inflammation—so you can move, sit, and stand with less pain.
It’s a favorite for patients looking for a gentle, targeted solution to disc issues, and it pairs perfectly with physical therapy, decompression, and massage.
