Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression · Relief Chiropractic · Levittown, PA
Back or Neck Pain That Won’t Quit?
Take the Pressure Off.
Tired of planning your day around back pain, sciatica, or neck pain? Non-surgical spinal decompression at Relief Chiropractic gently relieves pressure on discs and nerves, so you can get back to work, sleep, and the things you’ve been missing.
No drugs. No injections. No downtime.
You’ve Tried Everything. The Pain Keeps Coming Back.
Maybe it’s the ache that hits the moment you sit down. The pain shooting down your leg. The numbness in your hand that wakes you up at night.
You’ve rested. You’ve stretched. You’ve taken more pills than you’d like to admit. Maybe someone even mentioned surgery.
Pain medication can help manage symptoms, but it does not directly address mechanical pressure in the spine.
When a disc is compressed, it can keep pressing on the nerves around it. Until that pressure comes off, the pain often keeps coming back.
That’s exactly what spinal decompression is built to address.
See it for yourself
Gentle, Precise Relief — Without Surgery
Spinal decompression at Relief is done on the Hill Anatomotor, a traction table chiropractors have trusted for decades. First, gentle rollers glide along both sides of your spine to loosen tight muscles. Then the table applies a slow, controlled stretch that eases off and repeats, so your body stays relaxed.
That gentle, rhythmic stretch helps create space between the vertebrae and take pressure off irritated discs and nerves, in your low back or your neck. It also helps draw water, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc, giving your body a better environment to heal.
You stay fully clothed, lie comfortably on the table, and most patients find it so relaxing they nearly fall asleep. The force and rhythm are set for your body and your condition.

Getting Started Is Simple
Consultation & exam
We talk about your pain, review your history, and examine how your spine moves. You’ll know whether decompression fits your case before you commit to anything.
Your personalized plan
If you’re a good candidate, Dr. Paolini builds a plan around your condition and goals, with a clear number of visits and a clear price.
Relaxing sessions
You lie comfortably on the table, fully clothed. Rollers loosen your back muscles, then the table gently cycles through stretch and relaxation.
Get back to your life
Most patients go right back to their day. As pressure comes off, the goal is less pain, more movement, and fewer bad days.
Experience You Can Feel
Frequently Asked Questions
Does spinal decompression hurt?
No. Most patients find it comfortable and relaxing. You’ll feel a gentle stretch, and many people nearly doze off.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition and how long you’ve had it. After your exam, you’ll get a clear plan with a set number of visits and a clear price before you start.
How is this different from an inversion table or stretching at home?
At home, you get whatever pull gravity gives you. Here, rollers relax your back muscles first, and the stretch is measured, controlled, and set for your condition.
Can I go back to work after a session?
Yes. There’s no downtime. Most people head right back to their day.
Am I a candidate if I’ve already had back surgery?
Possibly. It depends on the type of surgery and your current condition. Dr. Paolini will review your history during the consultation.
Who should not have spinal decompression?
It isn’t right for everyone, including people who are pregnant or have certain fractures, implants, or other conditions. Your exam will screen for this.
Stop Living Around Your Pain
Every week you wait is another week of bad sleep, skipped plans, and pain that calls the shots. One visit is all it takes to find out if spinal decompression can help you.
