What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Conditions like spinal stenosis or herniated discs can cause chronic pain, reduced mobility, and more unwanted problems. When these problems flare up in you, you need spinal decompression therapy to treat them. Using a gentle traction table, your chiropractor slowly stretches your spine. This process is completely painless and helps disc rehydration, nerve decompression, and back alignment.
At ProWellness Family Chiropractic, we provide optimal care to meet the needs of our patients. Our services can help you with back pain, spine pain, neck pain, low back pain, foot and ankle pain, nerve-related conditions, and headaches.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit starts with a conversation, not a machine. We review your history, ask where and when the pain hits, and examine how your spine moves. Decompression therapy itself begins with you lying down on the traction table. You are then fastened comfortably to the table, which slowly stretches your back and spine. You feel a slight pulling sensation as the table relaxes the spine and relieves pressure. That is it. No sharp movements, no cracking required. Before you leave, we explain what we found and what your plan looks like so you are never guessing.
Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?
Chronic back pain, sciatica, and other symptoms that point to nerve compression are the classic signs that decompression may help. It is a gentle, low-force therapy, which makes it a good fit for people who want to avoid surgery or who cannot tolerate certain manual adjustments. It is not right for everyone. Certain fractures, advanced osteoporosis, some implants, and pregnancy can make decompression a poor choice, so we screen for those before we ever start. If the table is not the right tool for your body, we will tell you and point you toward the care that is.
Cost, Insurance, and Payment
Cost is the question almost everyone has and almost no clinic answers honestly, so here is the straight version. What you invest depends on how many visits your plan calls for, whether decompression is paired with other therapies, and your own coverage. Some plans apply toward this kind of care and some do not. Our front desk will verify your benefits before you commit to anything and walk you through self-pay and package options in plain language. You will know what you are looking at before you decide, not after.
Care Led by Dr. Robin Owings
Spinal decompression at ProWellness is directed by Dr. Robin Owings, a Doctor of Chiropractic and the clinic's owner. She graduated from Sherman College of Chiropractic in 2006 and has spent her career caring for families across Lincoln County. She reviews your history, sets the traction plan, and adjusts it as your body responds, so the therapy stays matched to your progress rather than a template.
Serving Lincolnton and Lincoln County
Our clinic sits at 644 Clark Drive in Lincolnton, minutes from the historic Lincoln County Courthouse on the downtown square and a short drive from Atrium Health Lincoln. Many of our neighbors work physically demanding jobs in manufacturing, warehousing, and the trades, and long commutes toward Charlotte add hours of sitting that disc pain does not forgive. That is exactly the kind of load decompression is built to relieve. Call (704) 735-9668 and we will get you scheduled.
Conditions Spinal Decompression Can Help Treat
At ProWellness Family Chiropractic, we believe in treating your conditions with a comprehensive array of services to help you live a better life. People seek spinal decompression therapy for a range of reasons. Some of the conditions we treat that people may be experiencing include:
Herniated or Bulging Discs →
Herniated discs can cause chronic pain, inhibit your range of motion, and put pressure on surrounding nerves.
Degenerative Disc Disease →
Spinal decompression therapy can help rehydrate discs and strengthen the discs in the spine to prevent changes in mobility as well as chronic pain and stiffness.
Sciatica →
Pressure on the sciatic nerve in the lower back can cause tingling, numbness, and burning pain to shoot down the legs.
Chronic Lower Back Pain →
Lower back pain is a common condition that can be caused by anything from a herniated disc to sciatica.
Neck Pain →
The same gentle traction can be applied to the cervical spine to relieve neck pain tied to disc pressure and nerve irritation.
Spinal Stenosis →
Spinal stenosis causes the spinal canal to narrow, putting pressure on nerves in the spinal cord. This pressure can cause chronic pain, numbness, and other conditions.

What Patients Say About Spinal Decompression
Pro Wellness is an invaluable asset to our community. The entire team demonstrates exceptional professionalism and courtesy. I initially sought their care after being misdiagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and facing the possibility of unnecessary surgery. Pro Wellness accurately identified the true cause of my symptoms, a pinched nerve in my neck, and developed a non-invasive treatment plan that led to full recovery without the need for surgical intervention. More recently, I experienced intense hip pain that significantly limited my mobility. Once again, Pro Wellness quickly implemented a personalized plan. Through decompression therapy and dry needling, I experienced a complete recovery of mobility and became pain-free within weeks.
Getting an appointment is hassle-free. The staff at pro wellness are always friendly and professional. The alternative therapies they offer ie. ultrasound, laser, decompression therapy etc. are important adjuncts to the adjustments received. We are thankful for this practice.

Spinal Decompression FAQs
How much does spinal decompression cost per session?
There is no flat per-session price, because your plan is built around your condition. Cost depends on how many visits you need, whether decompression is paired with other therapies, and your coverage. We verify benefits and explain self-pay options before you commit to anything.
Does insurance pay for spinal decompression?
It depends on your plan. Some policies apply toward this care and some do not. Our team will check your specific benefits before you start and walk you through what is and is not covered so there are no surprises.
What are the drawbacks of spinal decompression?
It is low-force and non-invasive, so serious problems are uncommon. It is not right for everyone, though. Certain fractures, advanced osteoporosis, some spinal implants, and pregnancy can make it a poor fit, which is why we screen you first and will recommend something else if the table is not right for you.
How long does decompressing your spine last?
Spinal decompression can provide long-term relief, but it may not be a permanent fix. Your condition, lifestyle, and physical fitness all affect how long the benefits last, and gentle maintenance visits and home exercises help you hold onto them.
How painful is spinal decompression?
It is not painful. The process is gradual and gentle. At most you feel a slight pulling as the traction table stretches your spine, and that pulling should never feel sharp or forced.
How do I know if I need spinal decompression?
Chronic back pain, sciatica, and symptoms that suggest nerve compression are the usual signs. The honest answer comes from an exam. We look at your history and movement first, then tell you whether decompression is the right tool for your case.
