Spinal Decompression
In Knox-Henderson
Non-surgical care in Knox-Henderson for the disc pressure behind back and leg pain.
Gentle Stretching
For a Painful Disc
A painful disc can press on a nerve and send pain into your leg. Decompression in Knox-Henderson works to ease that pressure.
A pull set for your spine
Your condition guides the computer program at the clinic in Knox-Henderson. The table alternates a gentle stretch with rest so your muscles can relax.
Room for the disc to recover
Separating the bones of your spine can draw bulging material inward. Fluid and nutrients can then flow back into the disc to support healing.
Comfort you can control
You lie in a harness as the lower part of the table moves slowly. You and the operator each have a stop switch to end the session.

Why Patients Choose
Spinal Decompression
Dr. Currington has practiced for over 20 years, and the clinic is part of the Disc Centers of America network.
Non-surgical and drug-free
Many patients come in relying on medication to get through the day, and some have been told surgery is their only option. Decompression is a non-surgical, non-medicated treatment to try first.
Aimed at the disc itself
Decompression works on the source of the pain: a disc pressing on a nerve. Easing that pressure can relieve back pain and the sciatic pain that shoots down the leg.
A plan that fits your body
The computer program is set for your condition, and the rest of your plan, including the therapies paired with decompression, is customized to your specific needs.
Built around your comfort
The table moves slowly and stretches the spine gently. Decompression is a non-invasive treatment that puts your comfort first.
What to Expect
During Your Treatment
From the first exam to the last session, here is how a course of spinal decompression usually goes.
Evaluation
An exam of your back and your history, so Dr. Currington can confirm decompression fits your condition and build your plan.
Your Sessions
Fitted with a harness, you lie on the table while the computer-guided program gently stretches your spine. Each session usually lasts about 20 to 30 minutes.
A Few Times a Week
Patients usually come in a few times a week and typically finish within 8 to 12 weeks. Results build on each other and tend to show most from the middle of the plan on.
The Rest of Your Plan
Adjustments, core-strengthening exercises, soft tissue therapy and lifestyle changes support the disc as it heals and can lower the chance of another herniation.
