Exam and history
We listen first, then measure how your spine and posture actually sit, so we can see whether a disc is driving the pain.

Spinal Decompression

In Plain Terms
Spinal decompression uses a motorized table to gently stretch your spine and take pressure off compressed discs and pinched nerves. It is slow, comfortable, and non-surgical, and most patients simply lie back while the table does the work.
Decompression is one of the tools we reach for when disc-related pressure is part of the structural problem. It pairs with corrective care when that is what your exam supports, so a herniated disc or sciatica gets space to heal instead of another guess.
The Method
What your first visit looks like
Three steps, in order. Nothing is treated before it is understood.
Findings in plain words
You see what we found and what decompression would involve before anything starts. No pressure, no jargon.
Your correction plan
A planned series of sessions with re-checks, so progress is measured against your baseline, not guessed.
Who Decompression Helps
Conditions decompression eases
When your exam shows a disc is the driver, these are the patterns decompression is built for:
Decompression rarely works alone.When the same exam finds structural misalignment, your plan adds corrective chiropractic, and when stubborn soft tissue is involved it may add shockwave therapy. One exam, one coordinated plan.
Why MaxLiving Wixom · Non-Surgical First
A non-surgical option worth trying before you consider surgery.
At MaxLiving Wixom, decompression is part of a whole-body approach built on the MaxLiving 5 Essentials. Many patients explore it as a non-surgical option before ever considering spine surgery, and the exam behind it decides when your plan stays with decompression and corrective chiropractic and when it adds shockwave therapy.
Decompression Questions
Answered, honestly.
Is decompression surgery?
No. Non-surgical spinal decompression uses a motorized table to gently stretch the spine. There are no incisions and no hospital stay.
What does a session feel like?
Most patients lie back while the table works. The stretch is gradual and controlled. We explain each step before it starts.
Who is a good fit?
People with disc-related back pain, sciatica, or nerve pressure findings on exam. We confirm fit from your structural exam, not from a guess.
Can it pair with chiropractic?
Yes. When the exam supports both, decompression and corrective chiropractic work as parts of one plan.
What does a decompression visit look like?
Every visit is by appointment, so your time on the table is planned and unhurried. Once your structural exam confirms that decompression fits your findings, sessions run as a scheduled series during our morning and afternoon office hours, and we re-check your progress along the way. Many patients explore decompression as a non-surgical option before ever considering spine surgery.
