Who Spinal Decompression Therapy Can Help

Our spinal decompression therapy in Ottawa may be considered for:

• Patients with disc-related lower back pain
• Individuals with leg symptoms associated with nerve irritation
• Patients with symptoms linked to disc bulges or herniation
• People with certain chronic spinal pain patterns
• Individuals seeking a non-surgical treatment option as part of physiotherapy care

Suitability is always determined through assessment. Not every patient with back pain or sciatica is a candidate for spinal decompression.

Conditions That May Overlap with Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression may be relevant for patients also exploring:

• herniated disc treatment in Ottawa
• sciatica treatment in Ottawa
• back pain physiotherapy in Ottawa
• chronic pain physiotherapy in Ottawa

This treatment is typically part of a broader rehabilitation plan rather than a standalone solution.

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works

• Spinal decompression therapy in Ottawa involves a controlled traction-based approach intended to reduce stress on certain spinal structures and improve tolerance to movement.
• Treatment may be combined with:
• Physiotherapy exercises
• Mobility and stability work
• Postural and movement education
• Progressive return-to-activity planning

Assessment drives whether spinal decompression is appropriate and how it fits into your overall treatment plan.
