Non-Surgical Back on Trac Treatment for Disc Injuries and Nerve Pain
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This therapy gently stretches the spine in a controlled way to create space between vertebrae, which can reduce pressure on injured discs and irritated nerves.
Many patients suffering from chronic back pain, sciatica, or disc injuries struggle to find long-term relief with medications, injections, or physical therapy alone. Spinal decompression offers a conservative treatment option that targets the root causes of these conditions.
At Strive Integrative Health in Brookfield, Wisconsin, we use the Back on Trac spinal decompression system to help patients recover from disc injuries and nerve compression without surgery.
This advanced decompression technology is designed to reduce disc pressure, improve circulation around the spine, and support the body’s natural healing process. Our goal is to help patients restore spinal health, improve mobility, and return to the activities they enjoy.

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a specialized form of traction therapy that gently stretches the spine using a computerized decompression table. During treatment, the spine is slowly and precisely stretched to create negative pressure within the spinal discs.
This negative pressure may help:
- Reduce pressure on spinal discs
- Relieve compression on spinal nerves
- Improve disc hydration
- Promote healing of injured discs
By creating space between vertebrae, decompression therapy can help relieve stress on damaged discs and improve the overall function of the spine.
Understanding the Role of Spinal Discs
Spinal discs sit between the vertebrae and act as shock absorbers for the spine. Each disc has two important components:
- Nucleus pulposus — the soft, gel-like center of the disc that absorbs pressure.
- Annulus fibrosus — the strong outer ring that holds the inner nucleus in place.
Healthy discs maintain proper spacing between vertebrae and allow the spine to move smoothly. However, when discs become damaged, dehydrated, or compressed, they may lose their ability to function properly. This can lead to conditions such as:
- Disc herniations
- Disc bulges
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Pinched nerves
Spinal decompression therapy is designed to relieve pressure on these discs and support the healing process.
How the Back on Trac Decompression System Works
At Strive Integrative Health, we use the Back on Trac spinal decompression system, which allows for precise and controlled decompression of the spine.
During treatment, patients lie comfortably on a decompression table while a harness is placed around the hips. The table gently applies traction to the spine in cycles of stretching and relaxation. These cycles help create negative pressure within the discs.
This negative pressure can help:
- Pull herniated or bulging discs back toward their normal position
- Increase nutrient flow into spinal discs
- Relieve pressure on spinal nerves
The Back on Trac system allows practitioners to customize the treatment based on the patient’s condition and comfort level.
Conditions We Treat with Spinal Decompression in Brookfield, WI
Spinal decompression therapy is commonly used to treat conditions involving disc damage or nerve compression. At Strive Integrative Health, decompression therapy may be used to treat:
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
- Pinched nerves
- Chronic lower back pain
- Neck pain caused by disc injuries
By reducing pressure within the discs and relieving nerve compression, decompression therapy can help improve symptoms associated with these conditions.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression Therapy
Many patients choose spinal decompression therapy because it offers several advantages compared to more invasive treatments. Some of the key benefits include:
- Non-surgical treatment option
- Reduces pressure on spinal discs
- Relieves nerve compression
- Improves disc hydration
- Promotes natural healing
- Comfortable treatment sessions
- Minimal recovery time
For many patients, spinal decompression can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility without the risks associated with surgery.
Spinal Decompression and Herniated Discs
Herniated discs are one of the most common causes of nerve compression in the spine. When the inner portion of a disc pushes through the outer layer, it can irritate nearby nerves. This may cause symptoms such as:
- Back pain
- Leg pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness
Spinal decompression therapy may help reduce pressure on herniated discs by creating negative pressure within the disc. This pressure change may allow the disc to retract slightly and reduce nerve irritation.
Spinal Decompression and Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. This nerve runs from the lower back through the hips and down the legs. Symptoms may include:
- Sharp pain down the leg
- Burning sensations in the leg
- Numbness in the foot
- Weakness in the leg
Spinal decompression therapy can help relieve pressure on the nerves that contribute to sciatic pain. Reducing pressure on these nerves may help reduce leg pain and improve mobility.
Spinal Decompression and Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease occurs when spinal discs lose hydration and height over time. This degeneration can reduce the space available for spinal nerves and increase stress on surrounding joints.
Spinal decompression therapy helps improve circulation around the discs and may help increase hydration within the disc. Improving disc health may help reduce symptoms associated with degenerative disc disease.
What to Expect During a Spinal Decompression Appointment
Spinal decompression treatments at Strive Integrative Health are comfortable and relaxing.
During a typical session:
- The patient lies on the decompression table.
- A harness is placed around the hips or torso.
- The table gently stretches the spine in controlled cycles.
Each session typically lasts 10 to 20 minutes. Many patients describe the treatment as relaxing and comfortable. After treatment, patients can usually return to normal activities.
How Many Spinal Decompression Sessions Are Needed?
The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of the condition and how long symptoms have been present. Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions over several weeks. Many patients experience noticeable improvement after several treatments.
Because decompression therapy supports the body’s natural healing processes, improvement may continue even after treatment sessions are completed.
Spinal Decompression as Part of a Comprehensive Treatment Plan
At Strive Integrative Health, spinal decompression therapy is often combined with other treatments to support long-term recovery. These treatments may include:
- Corrective chiropractic care
- Focused shockwave therapy
- Red light therapy
- Corrective exercises
By combining therapies, we can address multiple aspects of spinal health and improve patient outcomes.
