Schedule An Appointment

At Westmoreland Chiropractic & Rehab Associates, we’re proud to offer spinal decompression therapy for patients looking for long-term solutions to back, neck, or leg pain. This advanced therapy uses gentle, controlled mechanical traction to stretch your spine and create space between compressed or damaged discs. Here in Export and Greensburg, PA, where so many people lead active lives, back injuries, desk-related strain, or aging can all lead to persistent discomfort that impacts everything you do. Our practice uses decompression as part of an integrated approach—we’ll combine this therapy with chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and lifestyle recommendations for the best outcomes. From your first visit, we focus on understanding your symptoms, reviewing any imaging results, and making sure spinal decompression therapy is appropriate for your situation. We know that living with back or nerve pain makes everyday tasks a struggle, whether you’re at work, caring for your family, or enjoying the outdoors around Westmoreland County. Our goal is to help you get back to what matters to you, without unnecessary surgery or heavy medication.

Symptoms That May Benefit from Spinal Decompression

Service symptoms imageMany people come to us for spinal decompression therapy when they’re dealing with chronic back or neck pain that hasn’t responded well to other treatments. We see patients who suffer from herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs, leading to shooting pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms or legs. Sciatica is especially common in our Export and Greensburg communities—it often causes stabbing pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttocks and down the leg, making it tough to walk, sit, or even sleep comfortably.


Others feel a deep, aching pain along their spine or wake up stiff and unable to move freely. Work-related injuries, athletic accidents, and age-related wear and tear are all frequent causes that bring people through our doors. We also help patients who notice muscle weakness, difficulty standing up from a chair, or trouble bending and lifting, all of which can be linked to disc or nerve problems that benefit from decompression therapy.

What to Expect During Your Spinal Decompression

During your spinal decompression therapy in Export or Greensburg, you'll recline fully clothed on a motorized table specifically designed for this treatment. We'll carefully fit you with harnesses and adjust the machine to match your body size and comfort. As the table gently stretches your spine, you may feel a mild pulling sensation but most people say the process is relaxing—and many even doze off during their sessions. Each treatment usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, and you remain in constant communication with our team to be sure you’re feeling safe and secure. Most patients need a series of decompression sessions spaced out over several weeks to achieve long-term results, and we’ll always review your progress with you. We’ll also offer additional therapies—like chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, or massage—if they’ll support your healing. Soreness is sometimes reported after the first few treatments, but this fades as your body adapts. You’ll be able to return to work or your usual routine afterwards, though we’ll give you any necessary tips for maximizing your comfort and outcome. At every step, you’re supported in reaching your recovery goals.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression

People who receive spinal decompression therapy at our clinics in Export and Greensburg, PA often experience significant reduction in back, neck, or sciatic pain. Many find their range of motion improves quickly, and daily activities—like walking, sitting at work, or playing with kids—become easier again. Decompression is a non-surgical and drug-free approach, so there’s little risk of complication or dependency. For those with disc-related pain, this therapy can help the body heal naturally and prevent the need for invasive procedures. Many patients tell us they sleep better, feel less dependent on painkillers, and regain confidence in their movement after several sessions. While results differ for each person, ongoing decompression coupled with our holistic chiropractic and rehab approach often leads to long-term improvements in function and a renewed sense of well-being. If you’ve tried other therapies with limited success, spinal decompression may be the missing link to a more comfortable, active life in the Export and Greensburg community.
