What Our Happy Patients Are Saying

What is Decompression?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, not to be confused with linear traction, slowly lengthens and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressures within the discs. This reversal of pressure creates an intradiscal vacuum that helps to reposition bulging discs and pull extruded disc material back into place, taking pressure off pinched nerves. Spinal experts believe that nutrients, oxygen, and fluids are drawn into the disc to create a revitalized environment conducive to healing.

  • Lower Back & Neck Pain
  • Sciatica
  • Herniated or Slip Disc
  • Bulging Disc
  • ​Degenerative Disc Disease
  • ... and much more!

Spinal Decompression uses state of the art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica.

What Our Happy Patients Are Saying
What Our Happy Patients Are Saying
My first impression of Dr. Terri and her staff (during my first visit) were excellent. I will continue to use Dr. Terri for my chiropractic care. And will not hesitate to recommend her to my family members and friends.


-Vic B.

I’ve had 4 other chiropractors in various places we’ve lived over the last 15+ years, but Dr Terri has in just two adjustments returned flexibility to my spine that I had lost during those years. My husband and I love having her be our chiropractor!


-Elizabeth H.

I felt so much better after my first visit when Dr. Terri did the adjustments on my hip, back and neck. I am happy to be feeling better.
