Back pain can be life-limiting. At ProBack Clinic in London, our spinal decompression therapy offers a highly effective, non-surgical solution for a wide range of disc-related spine conditions. With an impressive success rate of up to 90%  this gentle yet targeted treatment creates the optimal environment for healing — without the downtime of surgery.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression therapy uses a computer-controlled traction table to apply a very slight, controlled stretch to the spine.  This rhythmic stretching gently reduces pressure within the spinal discs, allowing vital fluids, oxygen, and nutrients to flow back in. In effect, it relieves compression on nerves and supports natural healing. 

At ProBack, our decompression systems are advanced and adaptable — able to treat either the lumbar (lower back) or cervical (neck) regions, depending on your needs. Proback Advanced Back Care

Which Conditions Can Be Treated?

Spinal decompression at ProBack is effective for a variety of disc-related and nerve-compression disorders, including:

Herniated or bulging discs 

Sciatica and pinched nerves 

Degenerative disc disease 

Chronic neck and back pain 

Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) 

How Does the Treatment Work at ProBack?

Personalised Assessment: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, where our specialists take a full medical history, conduct a physical examination, and, where needed, use diagnostic imaging such as X-rays. 

Targeted Decompression: You lie comfortably on our specialised traction table, and controlled, computer-guided cycles gently stretch and relax your spine. 

Nourishing the Discs: This gentle traction creates a negative pressure (or vacuum) in the disc space — allowing fluids, minerals, and nutrients to flow back in. 

Ongoing Recovery: Over successive sessions, this process can help repair cellular damage, reduce pain, and improve mobility and posture. 

Because the therapy is non-invasive, most patients can resume normal daily activities immediately after a session. 

Why Choose ProBack for Spinal Decompression?

Expertise & Experience: With more than 15 years of spinal care, our multidisciplinary team includes chiropractors, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation specialists who work together for your best recovery. 

State-of-the-Art Equipment: We use advanced decompression beds such as the DOC and Renuvadisc systems, tailored to safely target your individual spinal needs. 

Integrated Therapies: For optimal results, spinal decompression can be paired with other treatments like K-Laser therapy, shockwave therapy, radiofrequency, prolotherapy, and Prolozone. 

Flexible Appointments: We offer same-day or next-day visits, evening and weekend slots — because back pain doesn’t always wait for a weekday. 

What to Expect & Treatment Protocol

A typical treatment course at ProBack involves around 12 sessions over 4–6 weeks.  Some people feel pain relief as early as their first session, although results may vary, and for some, the benefits build gradually by the sixth session. 

Evidence Behind Spinal Decompression

Clinical research supports the effectiveness of non-surgical spinal decompression. For example, a randomized controlled trial demonstrated that adding decompression therapy to standard physical therapy significantly improved pain scores, functional mobility, and back-muscle endurance in people with lumbar radiculopathy.  Another study combined decompression with core-stabilization exercises and found greater improvements in pain and disability than exercise alone. 

Additionally, long-term observational data show that spinal decompression can substantially reduce back and leg pain — helping many patients to walk more comfortably and stand straighter.

Is It Right for You?

Spinal decompression isn’t for everyone. But if X-rays or clinical assessment point to a herniated disc, nerve compression, degenerative disc disease, or related conditions, decompression therapy may be your best non-surgical option.
