Spinal Decompression
Experience Lasting Relief with Spinal Decompression Therapy
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Kelowna spinal decompression therapy at Momentum Health is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment designed to alleviate chronic back pain and neck pain. This therapy offers a natural, drug-free solution by gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. Used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with chiropractic and registered massage therapy, it is a very effective and gentle approach to help overcome the symptoms of herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.
How Spinal Decompression Works
Using a motorized traction device, our chiropractors at Momentum Health apply controlled forces to gently stretch the spine. This process creates a vacuum effect within the spinal discs, encouraging the flow of healing fluids and nutrients to the affected area. Over a series of sessions, spinal decompression for back pain can lead to significant pain relief and improved spinal health.
Cervical & Lumbar Spine Decompression
The decompression technology at Momentum Health provides relief for both cervical and lumbar spine conditions. Both treatments are gentle and provide relief for neck and low back pain as well as radicular symptoms caused by nerves (pain in the arms and legs). Lumbar decompression can also be performed supine (lying on your back) or prone (lying on your front) to provide maximal comfort and effectiveness.
Why Choose Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?
Decompression therapy for sciatica, spinal stenosis, herniated or bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease are among the most common conditions treated with spinal decompression. Chronic back pain that has not responded to other treatments is also a strong indicator that this therapy may help. However, it is not suitable for everyone. The practitioners at Momentum Health will help determine if this would be an effective treatment for you.
