Spinal Decompression is a fantastic treatment option for helping relieve back pain or other issues. This treatment involves the use of a spinal decompression table to help relieve pressure on the spine. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine, which helps to take pressure off of the discs and nerves which may help alleviate pain from many different issues.
This treatment is often used to help treat herniated discs, protruding disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and other forms of back pain. Depending on your specific case, we recommend doing a series of sessions with a combination of other forms of chiropractic treatment.

Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression is a treatment option that helps gently stretch the spine. This helps to take pressure off of the discs and nerves in your back. During a Spinal Decompression treatment, you’ll lay on a special motorized table. The top half of the table remains fixed while the bottom half of the table slowly moves and is controlled by an advanced computer system.
Dr. Chris Padgett fits you with a harness around your pelvis and another around your trunk. You’ll be positioned either face-up or face-down on the table, which is computer controlled to help gently stretch and decompress your spine. Dr. Chris Padgett controls the table using the connected computer, customizing the treatment to your specific needs.
As your spine is stretched it takes pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. That negative space gives herniated and bulging discs space where they may retract. This helps take pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine and ultimately leads to less pain and discomfort. This can also help increase the movement of other nutrient-rich fluids, water, and oxygen into the discs to promote healing.
Spinal Decompression can be an extremely beneficial treatment option for a variety of reasons, including:
When the disc between your body and spine is hurt, it’s called a herniated disc. It can be hard to move because the pain makes you want to stay still. When you have a herniated disc, it is important to rest and take care of yourself until the pain goes away.
A bulging disc is a disc that has been injured and is protruding out from its normal position. This can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the affected area.
Degenerative disc disease is a condition that affects the discs in your spine. The discs can become weak and thin over time, which can lead to pain and other problems.
Sciatica is when there is a pain in your lower back that sometimes extends down you buttocks and legs. Sometimes this can happen when a person has a herniated disc, bulging discs, or degenerative disc disease.
Spinal stenosis is a condition that happens when the spinal column becomes narrower. This can cause problems like pain, numbness, and tingling.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is generally a gentle and soothing treatment that is typically painless in most cases. Some patients with significant disc damage may experience minor discomfort during their first few treatments.
The number of sessions you will need will depend on your individual condition. Often, Spinal Decompression Therapy sessions typically last less than 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month, transitioning from passive to active treatments as you respond, with many patients starting to feel pain relief with as few as 6-10 treatments. Most patients are released from treatment after 8 weeks.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a natural, noninvasive, nonaddictive treatment option that can help provide relieve disc-related pressure, stimulate blood flow through your spine, and promote long-term healing.
If you are suffering from any of the conditions listed above, or if you simply want to improve your overall spinal health, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our chiropractic team in Valley. We’ll assess your conditions and determine if spinal decompression is right for your care.

Dr. Chris and everyone at Valley Chro are awesome! I feel so much after my visits!
Friendly Staff and Dr. Padgett is so good, he cares and he explains very good. I was so impress and I will refer all my family and friends to this office. My shoulder and left leg feel so much better after this first visit. I cant wait to go back Tuesday.
I went to Dr. Padgett for relief and he helped me understand what was going on. He takes Xrays on your first visit and then he reviews them and explains them your next visit. Shannon and Lexi were the sweetest with me and my daughter. They answered every question and explained everything that was going on. Letting me know how things work and what to expect. I truly recommend this office.
I have been going to Valley Chiropractic and Dr. Padgett for about 2 weeks now and I am very impressed with the results so far. The staff is super friendly and nice. They make you feel so welcomed. I would highly recommend Valley Chiropractic to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor. 10 out of 5 Stars!!!!
Most friendly people so willing to help people in need. Very gentle and caring, would highly recommend to anyone needing chiropractic care.
The first visit was awesome. The environment was warm, professional, and respectful.
Dr Padgett and his staff are awesome. They really listened to my problem and treated me accordingly. No cookie cutter treatment here. Every one is treated special.<br>Thank you all.
This was my first visit, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The office gives luxury vibes, yet still feels warm and welcoming—one of those places that makes you forget you’re in a small town the moment you walk in. The staff isn’t just professional; they’re genuinely friendly and personable, and they truly live out their motto through their interactions. I’ve never received local care that followed up after a visit just to check on me, and that alone meant a lot. The technology is impressive, the service is welcoming, and the care is truly top tier.<br><br>But of course, this is a chiropractic office—so let’s talk results. I was in an accident ten years ago and, due to pregnancy at the time, I wasn’t able to receive much treatment because of potential risks to my baby (who is healthy and unharmed 🙏🏾). The front and rear impacts shifted my pelvis, leaving one hip higher than the other. Walking or standing for long periods has been painful, and I’ve also dealt with ongoing neck and shoulder pain, headaches, and insomnia as a result.<br><br>After just one visit, I feel a noticeable difference in all my problem areas. Even more surprising, I feel deeply relaxed—and for the first time in months, I’m actually heading to bed at 8 p.m. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to fall asleep before 1 a.m., so this is huge for me.<br><br>Thank you so much to Dr. Padgett and the entire staff. I truly appreciate the care and attention you provide.<br><br>If you’re looking for top-notch chiropractic care close to home, this place is a gem. I even recorded a video but didn’t see an option to upload it here.<br><br>This place is EVERYTHING.
My first time visiting. Dr. Padgett was caring, thorough, and patient. I feel confident, that with the treatment options in office, will be a great addition to my chiropractic care.
