What does spinal decompression cost in Sudbury?
The honest answer: it depends on your plan, because decompression is prescribed as a course of care rather than a one-off session. The main factors are the severity of your condition, the number of sessions your plan calls for, and whether decompression is combined with other therapies like adjustments or shockwave.
The easiest way to find out what YOUR care would cost is our $49 new-patient special: a spinal decompression session plus a full exam and consultation. You leave knowing what's going on, what we recommend, and what it would involve, before committing to anything.
Insurance coverage for decompression varies widely: some plans cover traction-based therapy, others treat it as elective. Bring your insurance information to your first visit and our front desk will help you verify your benefits before you start care.
Is spinal decompression safe, and is it right for you?
Decompression is a gentle, non-surgical therapy, and most patients find sessions comfortable, even relaxing. Like any therapy, it's right for some spines and not others, which is why every course of care here starts with an exam.
It tends to be a strong fit for pressure-driven problems: herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, pinched nerves, and chronic lower-back pain. We typically recommend a different approach for patients with:
- Severe osteoporosis or a recent spinal fracture
- Surgical implants or hardware in the spine
- Pregnancy (we'll recommend appropriate alternatives)
- Certain conditions affecting the spinal cord, which we screen for at your exam
Frequently asked questions
What happens during spinal decompression?
You lie comfortably on the traction table and are gently secured. The table slowly stretches your spine, you'll feel a mild pulling sensation as pressure is relieved.
Is spinal decompression painful?
No. The process is gradual and gentle; at most you feel a light pull as the table stretches the spine.
How do I know if I need it?
Chronic back pain, sciatica and other signs of nerve compression are common indicators. We'll evaluate you and recommend the most effective option.
Does insurance pay for spinal decompression?
It varies by plan: some cover traction-based decompression, others consider it elective. Our front desk will help you verify your specific benefits before you begin care.
How long do the results last?
That depends on your condition and what you do after care: many patients maintain relief long-term, especially when they pair decompression with the posture and movement guidance we build into your plan.
Can you permanently decompress your spine?
No therapy can freeze your spine in a decompressed state, gravity always returns. What decompression can do is give damaged discs the space and circulation to heal, which is why relief often persists well beyond the course of care.
