Spinal decompression
Mechanical relief for the disc and nerve — a non-surgical option for disc herniation.
Spinal decompression mechanically and gradually stretches the spine to ease the disc's pressure on the nerve root. For a diagnosed disc herniation, a prior medical assessment (e.g. an MRI) is required before starting therapy.
Price: 20,00 € (8-session package available)
How it works
The device gradually and gently stretches the spine, creating mild negative pressure that can reduce the disc's pressure on the nerve root, easing pain and tingling that radiates into the leg or arm.
It's suitable for many cases of chronic pain caused by herniation or degenerative changes. For a diagnosed disc herniation, a prior medical assessment (e.g. an MRI) is required before starting therapy.
Manual therapy works on the mobility of the surrounding joint. Decompression targets the disc itself and the pressure on the nerve root. For more pronounced pain, the therapist often suggests combining both approaches. It's booked without a referral, alongside a prior medical diagnosis for a confirmed herniation.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a doctor's report before coming in?
Yes, if you have a diagnosed disc herniation — a prior medical assessment (e.g. an MRI) is required before starting therapy. Bring your report when you book.
How many sessions are needed?
Available as an 8-session package for lasting effect.
Is decompression painful?
No, it's a mild, controlled stretch — it should feel tolerable and relaxing.
Can I combine decompression with manual therapy?
Yes, they're often combined — decompression relieves pressure on the disc, while manual therapy works on the mobility of the surrounding joints.
How long does one session take?
A session usually takes fifteen to twenty minutes, with gradual, controlled stretching.
Are there contraindications for decompression?
Yes. We don't use decompression during pregnancy, with spinal instability or fracture, osteoporosis, or suspected tumor or metastasis in the spine. Let us know your relevant health history when booking.
