DISC DECOMPRESSION IN WEST HOLLYWOOD
Gentle, Non-Surgical Disc Care at WeHo Wellness
If you’re dealing with persistent low-back pain, sciatica, or a disc-related condition, disc decompression may be a supportive, non-surgical option. At WeHo Wellness, we provide disc decompression using flexion-distraction therapy on a specialized chiropractic table to help reduce pressure on spinal discs and improve mobility.
This approach is low-force, controlled, and comfortable—often preferred by patients who are looking for a gentle alternative to more aggressive techniques.
What Is Disc Decompression?
Disc decompression is a chiropractic technique designed to reduce pressure within the spinal discs and surrounding structures. At WeHo Wellness, decompression is performed through flexion-distraction therapy, a gentle, rhythmic motion that supports spinal movement and can help relieve irritation affecting the back and nerves.

Patients often seek disc decompression care for:
Disc bulges and disc herniations
Sciatica (radiating pain, numbness, or tingling into the leg)
Degenerative disc disease
Chronic low-back pain
Facet joint irritation and spinal stiffness
Restricted mobility and recurring back flare-ups
Every patient receives a personalized assessment to determine whether decompression is appropriate.
