Spinal Decompression in Upper Darby, PA: Non-Surgical Treatment Options
If you are living with chronic back pain, sciatica, a bulging disc, or a herniated disc, spinal decompression in Upper Darby may be a conservative, non-surgical treatment option worth considering. Spinal decompression uses controlled traction to reduce mechanical stress on certain spinal structures and may be appropriate for selected patients with disc-related pain, nerve irritation, and radiating symptoms.
At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center in Upper Darby, PA, Dr. Dan Klein has more than 30 years of clinical experience evaluating and treating patients with back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, bulging discs, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Depending on your symptoms, examination findings, neurological status, and available imaging, care may include spinal decompression, chiropractic treatment, rehabilitation, mobility work, and other conservative options when appropriate.
What Is Spinal Decompression Upper Darby?
Spinal decompression is a computer-controlled form of traction designed to gently stretch the spine and reduce mechanical pressure on certain spinal structures.
Spinal decompression may be considered for patients with:
• Herniated discs
• Bulging discs
• Sciatica
• Degenerative disc disease
• Pinched or irritated nerves
• Chronic lower back pain
• Certain types of neck pain
Treatment is individualized because not every patient or spinal condition is appropriate for decompression therapy.

How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
During spinal decompression therapy, a specialized table applies controlled traction to the spine. The treatment alternates between gentle stretching and relaxation.
The goal is to apply controlled traction that may reduce mechanical stress around certain spinal structures and improve comfort and mobility in appropriately selected patients.

Spinal Decompression for Herniated Discs

What Does a Spinal Decompression Session Feel Like?
During treatment, you remain clothed while lying on a specialized decompression table.
The table applies controlled traction followed by periods of relaxation. Many patients describe the treatment as gentle and comfortable, although individual experiences vary.
Sessions commonly last approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The number and frequency of visits depend on your condition, examination findings, response to treatment, and individual goals.
Combining Spinal Decompression With Chiropractic Care
Spinal decompression may be used as part of a broader conservative treatment program rather than as a stand-alone treatment.
Depending on your condition, care may also include:
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation
• Mobility and postural work
• SoftWave Therapy when clinically appropriate
• Other conservative therapies based on your examination
