What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure acts like a vacuum, helping to reposition bulging disc material and promote the influx of healing nutrients into the disc. The result? Significant pain reduction and improved mobility without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
Who This May Help:
This treatment may be a good fit for people dealing with:
Bulging Disc
Sciatica
Herniated Disc
Spinal Stenosis
Degenerative Disc Disease

Why Patients Consider Spinal Decompression
No surgery, no incisions, and no long recovery time.
Hill DT Spinal Decompression offers pain relief without surgery. This gentle technology creates negative pressure within discs, allowing retraction of herniated material and promoting healing blood flow—all without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time.
Designed to reduce pressure in the spine and support natural healing.
Experience comfortable treatment sessions where precision computerized technology gradually relieves pressure on nerves. Patients often feel relaxed during their sessions, with many experiencing improvement after just a few treatments.
When Other Treatments Have Not Worked
Spinal decompression therapy may be an alternative to surgery in some cases, providing relief for certain spinal conditions without the need for invasive procedures, reducing the risks associated with surgery and the associated recovery time.
Why Some Treatments Only Bring Temporary Relief
Some treatments may reduce symptoms for a short time, but they do not always address the pressure affecting the spine. Spinal decompression is designed to gently reduce that pressure, which may help support healing and longer-lasting relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during a Session?
During spinal decompression treatment the patient lies fully clothed and secured by a pelvic belt on a comfortable, computer controlled table.
The pelvic belt is attached to a tensionometer, which plays a key role in accurately administering this non-invasive procedure. Precise measurements of tension and pressure changes guide the specific use of the spinal decompression table, enabling the specifically trained therapist to focus on decompression to the specific level of spinal dysfunction.
How Long Does It Take?
Most patients with low back pain require an average of one session per day for 20 to 25 visits. Each session lasts about 30 minutes. The patient's progress is continually evaluated, and adjustments to the treatment plan are made as required.
Is spinal decompression therapy painful?
No, most patients find spinal decompression therapy to be comfortable and relaxing. The treatment is gentle and controlled, with safety features that ensure the force never exceeds what's appropriate for your condition. Many patients actually fall asleep during their sessions!
Do you accept insurance?
Spinal Decompression therapy is not typically covered by most insurance providers. However, we offer a number of payment options to make care affordable and to best fit your financial needs.
