Spinal Decompression in Pocatello
Gentle Help for Disc and Sciatica Concerns
Living with sciatica, a troublesome lumbar disc, or ongoing lower back discomfort can make even ordinary activities frustrating. Spinal decompression at Johnson Family Chiropractic & Sports Clinic offers a gentle, non-invasive approach designed to reduce pressure on affected areas of the lower spine and help you move more comfortably.
Dr. Johnson often combines decompression with chiropractic care and appropriate exercises, creating a plan based on what he finds during your evaluation rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
How Spinal Decompression Works
Spinal decompression uses controlled traction to gently create more space within the affected area of the spine. Taking pressure off a compressed disc may encourage movement of fluid into the area while reducing irritation around sensitive structures.
It may be considered for people experiencing concerns such as lumbar radiculopathy, sciatica, disc problems, or persistent lower back discomfort.
Before beginning, our chiropractor will evaluate you to determine whether you’re a good candidate. Decompression is performed right in our office under supervision.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first session begins gently, allowing your body and surrounding muscles time to adjust to the traction. A typical decompression session lasts approximately 15-20 minutes, although the exact time can vary depending on your lumbar disc or sciatica concerns.
Some people notice a difference during or following their first visit, while others may need several sessions before noticing meaningful changes. Dr. Johnson will monitor how you’re responding and recommend continued care based on your individual progress.
Insurance coverage for spinal decompression varies. Some plans may provide coverage, while decompression is often offered as a cash-pay service. Our team can help you understand your options before beginning care.
