Disc Decompression Therapy in South Pasadena, CA
If you are dealing with a herniated disc, sciatica, or radiating pain in your neck, back, arms, or legs, disc decompression therapy may help relieve pressure and improve function without surgery.
At Mission Chiropractic Works in South Pasadena, we use disc decompression therapy as part of a personalized treatment plan designed to reduce pain and support healing.
What Is Disc Decompression Therapy?

Disc decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses gentle, controlled traction to stretch and release the spine. This helps reduce pressure on spinal discs, nerves, and surrounding structures so the injured area has a better chance to heal.
Treatment can be used for the neck or low back, depending on where the problem is located.
Conditions Disc Decompression May Help Treat
- Herniated discs in the neck or low back
- Sciatica
- Numbness, pain, or tingling down the arm or leg
- Spinal stenosis
- Disc bulges
- Chronic neck or lower back pain
How Disc Decompression Works
Disc decompression therapy works by gently pulling and slowly releasing the spine in a controlled way.
This movement can help reduce disc pressure and create a better environment for healing.
It is also considered a form of disc rehabilitation. In addition to reducing pressure on the affected disc,
decompression therapy may help improve the disc’s access to nutrients, oxygen, and hydration. Over time, this can support healthier disc function, better motion, and improved shock absorption.
Why Patients Choose Disc Decompression
- Non-surgical approach
- Designed to reduce pressure on irritated discs and nerves
- Can be used for neck or low back disc issues
