Spinal Decompression Consultation in Jersey City, NJ

At Harborside Sport & Spine, we are committed to providing advanced, non-surgical solutions for back pain and spinal disc injuries. One of the innovative treatments we offer is spinal decompression therapy—a gentle, non-invasive approach designed to relieve discomfort and promote healing in patients with various spinal conditions.

Our expert team utilizes specialized spinal decompression equipment to carefully stretch the spine in a controlled and precise manner. This process relieves pressure on the spinal discs—the gel-like cushions between your vertebrae—by creating negative pressure within the disc. As a result, herniated or bulging discs may retract, allowing oxygen, water, and essential nutrients to flow back into the disc and encourage natural healing.

During your session at Harborside Sport & Spine, you’ll remain fully clothed and be comfortably secured in a harness. Our state-of-the-art traction table uses computer-guided cycles of gentle stretching and relaxation, typically lasting 15 to 30 minutes per session. Each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you receive the most effective and comfortable care possible.

Spinal decompression therapy at Harborside Sport & Spine may be recommended for patients experiencing:
●Herniated or bulging discs
●Degenerative disc disease
●Sciatica (nerve pain radiating down the leg)
●Facet joint syndrome

This therapy is an excellent conservative alternative for those seeking to avoid surgery or when other non-invasive treatments have not provided sufficient relief.

Not all patients are candidates for spinal decompression therapy. At Harborside Sport & Spine, your safety is our top priority. Our experienced healthcare professionals will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if spinal decompression is appropriate for your condition, especially if you have a history of spinal fractures, tumors, advanced osteoporosis, or metal implants.

Additionally, spinal decompression encourages the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, which supports natural healing and recovery. Our non-surgical approach is safe, drug-free, and tailored to your specific needs by our experienced chiropractic and physical therapy team.

We offer spinal decompression therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to spine health and pain management. Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, gentle treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, helping patients find relief from a variety of spinal conditions.

Many of our patients come to us with herniated or bulging discs, which can cause pain, numbness, or weakness when the disc material presses on nearby nerves. Our spinal decompression therapy is frequently used to address these issues, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. We also see individuals with degenerative disc disease—a condition marked by the gradual breakdown of the discs between vertebrae—which can lead to persistent pain and limited mobility. Decompression therapy can help restore function and relieve symptoms for these patients.

Sciatica, characterized by pain radiating down the leg due to compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, is another condition we frequently treat with spinal decompression at Harborside Sport & Spine. Similarly, patients suffering from spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) or facet joint syndrome (arthritis or injury to the small joints of the spine) may also benefit from this targeted therapy.

For patients dealing with chronic back pain that has not responded to other treatments—especially when imaging shows nerve compression or disc involvement—spinal decompression may provide the relief they’ve been seeking. However, not every patient is a candidate for this therapy. Our experienced team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine whether spinal decompression is appropriate for your specific needs, ensuring you receive safe and effective care tailored to your condition.

At Harborside Sport & Spine, your safety and comfort are always our top priorities. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a non-invasive treatment—meaning there are no incisions, anesthesia, or extended recovery times, as are often associated with surgical procedures. Most of our patients experience little to no discomfort during their sessions. However, this therapy may not be appropriate for everyone. For example, individuals with severe osteoporosis, spinal instability, fractures, tumors, abdominal aortic aneurysms, or who are pregnant may not be ideal candidates.

That’s why our experienced healthcare team conducts a thorough evaluation and reviews each patient’s medical history before recommending spinal decompression or any treatment. We believe in creating customized care plans to ensure the best possible outcomes and minimize any potential risks.

While non-surgical spinal decompression can be an effective option for many patients with back and neck pain, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. At Harborside Sport & Spine, we partner with you to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your unique needs—whether that includes spinal decompression, chiropractic care, physical therapy, or other modalities.
