Your assessment at iGood Health Centre in Richmond Hill considers your symptoms, health history, movement and daily activities. The conditions below may prompt someone to seek care, but having one does not automatically make spinal decompression appropriate. Your clinician will explain the findings and discuss suitable options.
Sciatica can be caused by various factors, including nerve compression in the spine. A proper assessment can help identify possible causes of your symptoms and guide your treatment plan.
This condition involves the gradual narrowing of the spinal canal with age, leading to nerve compression in the spine. This can result in back and leg pain.
A disc in the lower back (lumbar spine) can protrude and compress or pinch nearby nerves, leading to pain that radiates down the legs.
As the spacing between the vertebrae in the lumbar spine decreases, it can lead to potential nerve compression, resulting in discomfort and pain.
The spine is made up of joints, similar to other parts of the body. Over time, these joints can deteriorate due to osteoarthritis, leading to pain and stiffness
Pain, tingling or numbness can have different causes. Your clinician will assess your symptoms and discuss appropriate care or referral. These symptoms alone do not establish whether spinal decompression is suitable.
Non-surgical spinal decompression uses a specialized table to apply controlled traction to the spine. Evidence supporting traction for low back pain and sciatica is limited, and NICE guidelines recommend against its use for these conditions. Before deciding on treatment, discuss the evidence, potential risks and alternatives with your clinician.
Table-based spinal decompression is a non-surgical form of traction. It differs from surgical decompression and should not be presented as a guaranteed way to avoid surgery. Your assessment helps guide a discussion of appropriate care options.
The decompression table applies a controlled pulling force while you are positioned with supports. Tell your practitioner immediately if you experience discomfort or worsening symptoms so treatment can be stopped or adjusted.
Your clinician will explain the assessment findings and discuss treatment options, their potential benefits, risks and limitations. You can ask questions and make an informed decision before starting care.
Tell your clinician which activities are difficult, such as sitting, walking, bending or sleeping. Together, you can set practical goals and review whether your care plan is helping you make progress.
If back pain continues to affect your daily life, an assessment can help clarify your concerns and guide the next steps. Your clinician will discuss care options and whether further medical evaluation is needed.
Your treatment plan is based on your symptoms, assessment findings, health history, and how your pain affects your daily activities.
Your clinician will review changes in your symptoms and daily function. If your condition is not improving or symptoms worsen, your care plan should be reassessed and other options discussed.
In our online booking system, a 30-minute spinal decompression treatment on the decompression table is listed at $85; your first visit starts with a chiropractic or physiotherapy assessment so we can check whether non-surgical spinal decompression suits your condition. Fees can change, so please confirm when you book. A course usually involves several sessions combined with exercises and hands-on care, and it is not a stand-alone cure.

Your first visit includes an assessment and a discussion of your options. Before any treatment begins, your practitioner should explain the proposed approach, potential benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives, and obtain your consent.
If you proceed with table-based traction, your practitioner will explain the positioning, supports and settings. Tell them immediately if you experience discomfort or worsening symptoms so treatment can be stopped or adjusted.
You will lie comfortably on the decompression table while your provider explains the setup and treatment process.
The table applies a controlled pulling force using settings selected by your practitioner. Your comfort and symptoms are monitored, and treatment can be stopped or adjusted according to your response.
Treatment settings are adjusted based on your condition, comfort level, and provider assessment.
Discuss the proposed care plan, fees and review points with your practitioner before proceeding. Recommendations for further visits should reflect your assessment, goals and response to care.
Your response is monitored over time so your care plan can be adjusted when needed.

Decompression is not suitable for everyone. It is usually avoided during pregnancy, after spinal surgery with hardware, with spinal fractures, tumours or infection, severe osteoporosis, or some nerve problems that need medical review. If you have new bladder or bowel changes or numbness in the groin, go to the emergency department.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a form of mechanical traction that uses a specialized table to apply a controlled pulling force to the spine. It differs from surgical decompression. Before treatment, your clinician should explain the evidence, potential risks, limitations and alternatives so you can make an informed decision.
No. Spinal decompression therapy is not suitable for every patient. A proper assessment is needed first, especially if you have osteoporosis, fractures, recent surgery, pregnancy, certain spinal conditions, or other health concerns.
Contact our team to confirm the length of your assessment or follow-up appointment before booking. Time on the decompression table may differ from the total appointment length. Your practitioner will explain any proposed treatment and the time involved.
A herniated disc does not automatically make spinal decompression appropriate. Evidence supporting traction for low back pain and sciatica is limited, and it should not be described as a proven way to repair a disc or avoid surgery. Your clinician will assess your symptoms and discuss treatment options, their limitations and whether medical referral is needed.
The number of sessions depends on your symptoms, assessment findings, and how your body responds to care. Your practitioner will explain the recommended plan before treatment begins.
No referral is usually required to book an appointment at iGood Health Centre, although some insurance plans may require one for reimbursement.
Coverage depends on your insurance plan, the treating practitioner and the service billed. Chiropractic or physiotherapy benefits do not automatically cover every decompression treatment or equipment charge. Contact us to confirm the practitioner and fees, then check eligibility with your insurer. Direct billing may be available, but it does not guarantee reimbursement.
