Spinal Decompression in Saratoga Springs

Relieve Disc Pressure, Sciatica, and Chronic Back Pain

If you're struggling with herniated discs, sciatica, or chronic back pain, spinal decompression therapy at Turning Point Chiropractic in Saratoga Springs may offer the relief you’ve been searching for. This non-surgical, gentle technique is designed to reduce pressure on the spine, restore mobility, and accelerate healing—without medication or invasive procedures.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Safe and Targeted Relief for Spinal Disc Conditions

Spinal decompression therapy is a specialized chiropractic technique that gently stretches and decompresses the spine. This movement helps create space between the vertebrae, allowing oxygen, nutrients, and hydration to flow back into injured or compressed discs—supporting natural healing from the inside out.

We use this therapy to treat a variety of spinal conditions including:

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Sciatica and nerve compression

  • Chronic neck and low back pain

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Facet joint dysfunction

Flexion-Distraction Technique

A Gentle, Chiropractic Approach to Decompression

At Turning Point Chiropractic, we utilize the Flexion-Distraction technique—a trusted, low-force decompression method performed on a specialized table that allows gentle stretching of the spine in a rhythmic, controlled motion.

Flexion-Distraction is particularly effective for:

  • Lumbar disc herniations and bulges

  • Sciatica and leg pain from nerve root pressure

  • Stenosis and spinal arthritis

  • Post-surgical spine patients seeking non-invasive relief

Unlike motorized traction machines, Flexion-Distraction allows the chiropractor to manually control the decompression, adjusting the technique in real time based on your comfort and response. This allows for highly precise and comfortable treatment—even for sensitive or acute conditions.

Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing, and many experience immediate improvement in pain and mobility.
