If pain is travelling into your leg or arm, or your back has not settled for months, non-surgical spinal decompression may be worth considering. It uses gentle, controlled traction to ease pressure through the spine. We assess first, with posture scanning and X-rays available in the same building, then tell you honestly whether it suits you.

Spinal decompression
What it is
For a lot of people, back discomfort or sciatica starts as a bit of tightness and slowly becomes part of everyday life. Over time, bending, sitting, or getting going in the morning can start to feel restricted. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a gentle, conservative option that aims to ease pressure through the spine and support more comfortable movement.
At Baseline Chiro, we use a decompression table that delivers controlled, low-force traction to a targeted area of your spine. That gentle stretch is intended to create a little more space for the joints and surrounding structures, which may be associated with relief from tightness, stiffness, or nerve-related irritation.
It can suit people dealing with disc-related discomfort, age-related changes through the spine, sciatica, or ongoing tension in the back or neck. It may also be worth considering if you are looking for a non-surgical path after other conservative approaches have not given you the comfort you were after.
Common presentations people come in with
Disc-related tension or discomfort
Age-related changes in the discs
Sciatica or nerve irritation
Persistent neck or lower back tightness
Post-surgical stiffness, as advised by your medical provider
Every session is monitored for your comfort and safety.
Decompression may also be combined with chiropractic care and targeted rehab to support easier movement, better postural control, and longer-term resilience. It is not suitable for everyone, so we assess first with a full history, examination, posture scanning, and X-rays available in the same building, then talk you through what we find.
Our process
What happens when you come in
Four steps, so you know what you are walking into before you book.
01
Assess
We start by understanding your body and your concerns, not just where it hurts.
A detailed history and a thorough assessment of how you are moving, along with posture scanning to record where you are starting from.
02
Test
Your care is based on what we measure.
Before and after testing, posture scanning, and X-rays available in the same building when they are needed.
What we measure
- Posture scanning
- Before and after testing
- X-rays in the same building
- Movement and function testing
03
Plan
A care plan built around you.
You get a clear explanation of what we find and a plan built specifically around your body, your lifestyle, and the goals you tell us about.
04
Track
We test again, so you can see what has changed.
Progress is re-checked against your starting measurements, so your care keeps moving in the right direction rather than running on guesswork.
How we track progress
- Progress exams against your baseline
- Care adjusted to your results
- Clear checkpoints along the way

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
Is spinal decompression painful?
Most people find it comfortable and many find it relaxing. You stay fully clothed and lie down for the whole session, which usually runs around 20 to 30 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
It is delivered as a course of sessions rather than a one-off. How many depends on what we find at your assessment, and we will talk you through that before you start.
Is it the same as being stretched or hung upside down?
No. The table applies controlled, low-force traction in slow cycles to a targeted area of your spine, easing on and off rather than pulling steadily.
Do I need a scan or referral first?
No referral is needed. If you already have an MRI or scan report, bring it. X-rays are available in the same building if we need them.
Who is it not suitable for?
It is not appropriate during pregnancy, or with spinal fracture, tumour, infection, severe osteoporosis, some spinal surgical hardware, or an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Anyone with loss of bladder or bowel control or progressive weakness needs urgent medical review rather than decompression. We screen for all of this at your assessment.
What if decompression is not right for me?
We will tell you, and talk through what else may help. The assessment is about finding the right answer, not selling you a program.
