If you’re struggling with chronic back or neck pain, a herniated disc, or a pinched nerve, Beyond Physiotherapy offers an effective non-surgical solution called spinal decompression therapy.
This advanced treatment is now available at our clinics in Surrey (Newton, Fleetwood, and South Surrey), as well as Langley, White Rock, and Abbotsford.
What Is Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, computer-controlled traction treatment designed to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It provides a safe, comfortable, and evidence-based approach to managing persistent pain without the need for surgery or medication.
At Beyond Physiotherapy, we use the Dynatron DX2 decompression system, an advanced technology that precisely targets specific spinal levels based on your condition. During treatment, the table gently stretches and releases the spine in a series of controlled cycles.
This process helps to:
- Increase nutrient and oxygen flow to the discs
- Reduce pressure caused by disc bulging or herniation
- Improve spinal mobility and overall function
By restoring proper spacing between vertebrae and relieving pressure on nerve roots, decompression therapy supports the body’s natural healing process and provides lasting pain relief.
How the Treatment Works
Each 30-minute session is guided by one of our trained physiotherapists. You’ll be comfortably positioned on the DX2 table, which is programmed to apply precise traction forces according to your individual needs.
The system alternates between gentle stretching and relaxation phases, which allows the targeted spinal segments to decompress safely. Your physiotherapist monitors your comfort and makes adjustments as needed throughout the session.
Many patients also receive light manual therapy, soft-tissue work, or stretching before or after decompression to help relax surrounding muscles and enhance recovery.
Conditions Commonly Treated
Decompression therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of spinal conditions, including:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Pinched Spinal Nerves
- Facet Joint Arthritis
- Spinal Stenosis
- Chronic Neck or Low Back Pain
It is particularly effective for individuals who have not found relief from conventional physiotherapy, medication, or other conservative treatments.
