Spinal Decompression in Kirkland, WA

A gentle, noninvasive approach designed to reduce pressure on the spine and support more comfortable movement.

Noninvasive Support for Back and Neck Concerns

Spinal decompression uses controlled, gentle traction to stretch targeted areas of the spine. This process is intended to reduce pressure affecting spinal discs, joints, and surrounding structures.

At Kirkland Chiropractic Clinic, spinal decompression is recommended only after evaluating your symptoms, health history, and individual needs.

Conditions Spinal Decompression May Address

Spinal decompression may be considered for patients experiencing:

  • Persistent lower back pain
  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Bulging or herniated discs
  • Degenerative disc changes
  • Sciatica or radiating discomfort
  • Pressure affecting spinal nerves
  • Limited spinal mobility
  • Recurring discomfort related to disc problems

Because not every condition is appropriate for decompression, Dr. Bourree will determine whether it should be included in your care plan.

During a spinal decompression session, you will remain comfortably positioned while controlled traction is applied to the appropriate area of your spine. Treatment settings are adjusted according to your condition and comfort.
