Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: Who It’s For & How It Works

Chronic back pain, herniated discs, or nerve compression can feel like a never-ending struggle — and for many people, surgery seems like the only option. But at Boulder Sports Clinic, we offer a cutting-edge, non-invasive solution that helps relieve spinal pressure, reduce pain, and promote healing without medication or surgery.

Welcome to non-surgical spinal decompression — powered by the advanced Hill DT Decompression Table.

‍

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a gentle, computer-guided therapy that stretches and relaxes the spine in cycles. This process helps create negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging herniated or bulging discs to retract and promoting increased blood flow and nutrient exchange to the damaged area.

Unlike traditional traction, true spinal decompression dynamically adjusts to the patient’s needs in real time, ensuring precise, safe, and effective relief

‍

Who Is It For?

Spinal decompression is ideal for patients experiencing:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sciatica or nerve compression
• Chronic low back or neck pain
• Spinal stenosis
• Failed back surgery syndrome
• Facet joint syndrome
• Numbness or tingling in arms or legs due to disc issues

It’s especially beneficial for people who have not found relief through chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, or medications — and want to avoid surgery or ongoing injections.

‍

How Does It Work?

During a session, the patient lies comfortably on the decompression table while a specialized harness is fitted. The Hill DT Decompression Table then gently applies controlled traction to the spine using a smart, computerized system.

What makes it different from traditional decompression tables?

‍

The Hill DT Advantage:

• Sensitive load sensor technology: Constantly monitors the body's response to traction and makes micro-adjustments every millisecond.
• True decompression, not traction: Traditional traction tables often cause muscle guarding. The Hill DT avoids this by gradually adjusting the pull force to stay below the body's protective reflex threshold.
• Advanced protocols: Customizable settings based on your condition — whether cervical or lumbar — for maximum safety and results.
• Comfort-first design: Patients often report feeling relaxed during and after the session, with many noticing improvement within just a few visits.

What to Expect from Treatment

At Boulder Sports Chiropractic, your decompression therapy experience is completely personalized.

Your First Visit Includes:

• A detailed consultation and spinal evaluation
• Review of imaging (X-rays, MRIs if available)
• Discussion of symptoms, goals, and medical history

• A series of sessions over several weeks (usually 12–24 over 12 weeks depending on severity)
• Complementary therapies such as laser therapy, soft tissue work, or rehab exercises
• At-home posture and mobility guidance to support long-term healing

Why Spinal Decompression Works When Other Treatments Don’t

Most back pain treatments focus on symptom relief — not the actual cause. Spinal decompression targets the disc itself, relieving pressure on nerves and giving the disc space to rehydrate and heal. The table helps to break up adhesions or scar tissue around the disc, ligaments, nerves, and joint capsules with gentle, oscillating pull force. It’s not just about feeling better — it’s about fixing the problem.

Real Relief Without Surgery

For many patients, spinal decompression becomes the turning point after months or years of discomfort. It offers:

• A non-invasive alternative to back or neck surgery
• Drug-free, long-lasting pain relief
• Increased mobility, comfort, and quality of life
