What It Is

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, traction-based treatment that gently stretches the spine to reduce pressure on discs and nerves. Maynard Family Chiropractic uses it as a proven, non-surgical option for herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and the sciatica and chronic back pain that often come with them. No drugs, no surgery, and every recommendation starts with an exam.

Why It’s Recommended

Relief for Discs.Broken Arrow Patients Trust It.

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, traction-based therapy that gently separates the vertebrae to relieve pressure on a disc and the nerve it may be irritating. A herniated or bulging disc pressing on a nerve is one of the most common causes of chronic back pain and sciatica seen at Maynard Family Chiropractic. Decompression works by lowering pressure inside the disc so it can pull back from the irritated nerve.

Dr. Cameron Maynard’s team pairs decompression with the same non-surgical disc protocol as corrective chiropractic care and SoftWave TRT, choosing between them based on what the exam and X-rays actually show, not a one-size-fits-all script.

Why Decompression

What Makes It Worth Asking About.

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, traction-based therapy that reduces pressure on a compressed disc and the nerve it may be irritating, and up to 80% of adults experience low back pain at some point in their lives.

Spinal decompression is worth asking about for a few specific reasons, especially for patients weighing surgery as their next step.

Non-Surgical

A gentle, traction-based alternative many patients try before considering surgery.

No Drugs

No injections, no medication dependence, just mechanical relief of disc pressure.

Targets Sciatica Too

Relieves the nerve pressure behind much of the sciatica this practice treats.

Paired With Correction

Works alongside corrective chiropractic care to support lasting alignment.

What It Helps

Conditions Decompression Addresses.

Herniated discs, bulging discs, and sciatica are the conditions decompression addresses most often, since a compressed disc pressing on a nerve root is a common cause of chronic back and leg pain. Sciatica alone affects up to 40% of people at some point in their lives, and Maynard Family Chiropractic sees a steady stream of Broken Arrow patients dealing with exactly that combination of disc and nerve pain.

Spinal decompression at Maynard Family Chiropractic is commonly recommended for these disc-related and nerve-related conditions:

Common Questions

Spinal Decompression, Answered.

Spinal decompression is a gentle, traction-based therapy that creates negative pressure inside a disc to relieve pressure on nerves and encourage fluid back into the disc space. It is non-surgical, drug-free, and delivered in-office on a decompression table.
For the right candidate, yes. It is a controlled, gentle stretch of the spine, not a manual adjustment, and intensity is set to your comfort. Your exam and X-rays, if they are needed, determine whether decompression is appropriate for your specific case before it is ever recommended.
Many patients explore decompression specifically to avoid or delay surgery for herniated or bulging discs. It will not fit every case, which is why the recommendation always follows the exam and imaging review rather than coming before it. Bring any recent MRI or imaging to your visit if you have it.
It depends on the disc involved and how long it has been irritated. Your report of findings lays out a recommended session count and timeline before care begins, and progress is re-checked as your case responds.
Coverage varies by plan, so the honest answer is that it depends on yours. Call our front desk at (918) 872-8653 before your first visit and we will help you understand your options and costs up front.
