How To Decompress A Bulging Disc?

Decompression simply means relieving the pressure on a spinal disc so it can heal. In the office, we use spinal decompression therapy, a controlled, gentle traction that stretches the spine and creates space between the vertebrae. This allows nutrients and oxygen to flow back into the disc. At home, you can support that same process through posture correction, light stretching, and movement. Even simple things like using an inversion table or lying flat on your back with knees bent can help release tension. The goal of decompression is to restore balance, improve motion, and allow the disc to rehydrate. When combined with chiropractic adjustments and strengthening, the results can be life-changing.
