Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical method designed to ease pressure on the spine. It works by gently stretching the back on a specialised table, creating space between the vertebrae so bulging or herniated discs can shift into a healthier position. This process may reduce nerve irritation and improve circulation to the area.
For many in Orchard who spend long hours at a desk or commuting, the strain on the spine can add up quickly. Decompression offers a natural way to restore balance without surgery or medication.
Conditions That May Improve with Therapy
This type of care is often recommended for individuals who experience:
- Persistent back or neck discomfort
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica or nerve pain radiating into the legs
- Degenerative disc changes
- Stiffness after sitting or standing for long periods
By easing the pressure inside the discs, decompression therapy may help restore mobility and comfort, making everyday tasks like sitting through a meeting, walking around Marina Bay, or spending long hours at a desk in Raffles Place more manageable.
What to Expect During a Session
A typical session lasts about 20-30 minutes. You remain fully clothed while lying on a computer-controlled table. Gentle stretching creates negative pressure inside the discs, encouraging fluids, oxygen, and nutrients to flow back into the spine. Many people describe the experience as comfortable and surprisingly relaxing. It’s not uncommon for patients to report that after a few visits, daily activities such as working, exercising, or even hiking the trails at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve feel easier and less restricted.
“Spinal decompression therapy gives the spine a chance to reset. By relieving pressure in a gentle, controlled way, many people find they can move with more comfort and confidence,” says Dr Travis Fisher, Doctor of Chiropractic.
Why Local Residents Opt for Decompression
Busy lifestyles in Orchard often mean less time for rest and recovery. Spinal decompression offers a convenient option that fits into a lunch break or after-work appointment, making it practical for working professionals, parents, and active seniors alike.
