Is Spinal Decompression Right for You? An Honest Guide For Saratoga Patients

Written By Adam Favro

Many people with chronic low back pain, sciatica, or disc bulges want relief without shots or surgery — and non-surgical spinal decompression is one of the most effective options available.

At Turning Point Chiropractic, we use the Triton® DTS-6M, one of the most advanced decompression systems available.

Here’s what Saratoga Springs patients should know.

What Spinal Decompression Does

Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to:

  • reduce pressure inside the discs

  • improve nutrient flow

  • relieve nerve irritation

  • create space for healing

Most patients experience a gentle, rhythmic pulling sensation, not pain.

Conditions That Respond Extremely Well

✔ Disc bulges
✔ Disc herniations
✔ Sciatica
✔ Stenosis symptoms
✔ Chronic low back pain
✔ Facet joint irritation
✔ Post-surgical pain (case-by-case)

Who’s NOT a Candidate?

  • Unstable fractures

  • Cancer of the spine

  • Severe osteoporosis

  • Recent spinal surgery (depending on type)

Every patient goes through a screening process before treatment.

What Your Decompression Session Looks Like

  1. Comfortable harnessing

  2. Customized settings for angle + tension

  3. 12–25 minute traction cycle

  4. Gentle oscillation to prevent muscle guarding

  5. Easy off-loading at the end

You hold a safety switch the entire time — total control.

Results You Can Expect

Many patients feel improvement after 2–4 sessions with best results at 12–18 sessions depending on severity.
