01 — HOW IT WORKS
A little room can make a difference.Discs cushion the bones of your spine. When a disc or nearby tissue irritates a nerve, even ordinary movement can feel like a challenge. Decompression applies a carefully controlled pull, with the aim of temporarily reducing load on these structures.
CERVICAL SPINEWhen irritated nerves in the neck contribute to symptoms in the shoulder or arm, a focused exam helps identify the right next step.

You rest on a supportive table. Your clinician positions you and fits the appropriate support or harness.
A computer-controlled system applies a gradual pulling force, with timing and tension selected for your treatment.
The pull eases into a rest phase. These controlled cycles aim to unload spinal structures while your response is monitored.
02 — MADE FOR YOUR EVERYDAY
Your care should connect to the things you want to do again.
The aim is to reduce symptoms that make sitting, standing and everyday movement uncomfortable.
When appropriate, pair decompression with movement and rehabilitation to support function beyond the treatment table.
Understand whether a conservative approach fits your diagnosis, health history and personal goals.
Potential benefits vary. Research on non-surgical decompression is mixed; improvement is not guaranteed.
SPINAL DECOMPRESSION IN PRACTICE.03 — THOUGHTFUL TECHNOLOGY
Modern decompression brings precision to traction. Holten Wellness uses a computerized treatment system, with care guided by the person in front of us.
Force and treatment cycles can be selected by the clinician to match the care plan.
Gradual loading and unloading keep the treatment measured and deliberate.
Comfort, symptoms and progress guide whether to continue, adjust or choose a different approach.
04 — IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
A diagnosis comes before a device.Decompression may be considered for selected people with disc-related neck or low back pain. We start with a conversation and an assessment, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

The right fit matters. Some conditions make traction unsuitable. We review your health history, prior surgery and any imaging before recommending care. New bladder or bowel changes, saddle numbness or rapidly worsening weakness need urgent medical evaluation.
05 — YOUR FIRST STEP
No need to figure it all out before you come in. Start with what you’re feeling and what you want to get back to.
Share your symptoms, what you’ve tried and the activities that matter to you.
Discuss an assessment, existing imaging and whether decompression is appropriate.
Review recommendations, expected costs and next steps before committing to treatment.
You rest on a treatment table while a fitted harness applies a gradual pulling force, followed by periods of reduced tension. You should be able to communicate throughout the session. Tell your clinician immediately about pain, dizziness or new symptoms so treatment can be adjusted or stopped.
