Spinal Decompression
Therapy in San Jose, CA
Dr. Allison Ross uses state-of-the-art decompression technology to safely stretch the spine, creating space between the vertebrae and reducing pressure on irritated nerves and discs.
Gentle, Effective Relief Through Chiropractic Adjustments
Chronic back pain, disc pressure, and radiating nerve pain can interfere with every part of your life—from work and daily activities to sleep and overall comfort. At Ross Chiropractic, spinal decompression therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive way to relieve pressure, restore mobility, and help your body heal naturally.
This approach is ideal for patients seeking an effective alternative to surgery or long-term pain medication.
Understanding Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression is a targeted treatment that applies slow, controlled traction to the spine. This creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging nutrients, oxygen, and hydration to flow back into areas that have become compressed or damaged.
When discs begin to degenerate or bulge, they can put pressure on surrounding nerves—often resulting in sharp, radiating, or chronic pain. By gently restoring space between the vertebrae, decompression therapy helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support the natural healing process of the spinal discs.
Conditions That May Benefit from Spinal Decompression
Many patients turn to decompression therapy when traditional treatments haven’t addressed the root cause of their discomfort. This therapy is often helpful for disc-related issues, nerve compression, and chronic back pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or lifting.
Patients experiencing herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and chronic low back pain frequently achieve meaningful improvement with a consistent decompression plan. Dr. Ross evaluates each patient personally to ensure that this therapy is appropriate and tailored to your unique condition.

What to Expect During Your Decompression Session
Your session begins with a thorough evaluation to understand the source of your back or leg pain. Once Dr. Ross confirms that decompression is the right treatment for you, you’ll be comfortably positioned on the decompression table, where gentle traction is applied in controlled cycles.
Each session lasts approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Many patients describe the experience as relaxing, with a gradual release of tension as the spine lengthens and decompresses. Over time, these treatments help relieve nerve irritation, improve spinal health, and restore mobility. Depending on your condition, Dr. Ross may complement your treatment with chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, or soft-tissue therapy to maximize results.
The Benefits of Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression offers a natural approach to relieving chronic back and leg pain while supporting long-term healing. Many patients notice improvements such as reduced nerve pain, better flexibility, and restored comfort during daily activities. As pressure on the spine decreases, the body becomes more balanced, and movement becomes smoother and less restrictive.
Beyond immediate relief, decompression helps improve disc health over time, making it a valuable treatment for those seeking a long-term solution to ongoing spinal discomfort.
Find Relief Through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
If back pain, disc issues, or radiating nerve discomfort are limiting your daily life, spinal decompression therapy may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Dr. Ross will guide you through every step, helping you move, sit, and live more comfortably—without surgery or medication.
