Can Spinal Decompression Help Back Pain? Doctors Explain

📩 Contact us: talkingwithdocs@gmail.com

Back pain, sciatica, disc herniations, and spinal stenosis can make everyday movement frustrating — and for many people, finding relief without surgery becomes the big question. So what exactly is spinal decompression, how does it work, and who may actually benefit from it?

In this episode of Talking With Docs, Dr. Brad Weening and Dr. Paul Zalzal are joined by Dr. Corinne Roughsedge, Chiropractor at Beach Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, to discuss non-surgical spinal decompression, how it works, and the types of spinal conditions it may be used for.

Dr. Corinne Roughsedge explains the history behind spinal decompression therapy, how it differs from traditional traction or inversion, and how specialized decompression tables are designed to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves. The conversation also covers herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, cervical and lumbar symptoms, patient selection, contraindications, expected outcomes, and why spinal decompression is often combined with rehabilitation exercises and a broader treatment plan.
