Spinal decompression therapy in Sydney’s Inner West.

ChiroRelief provides computer-controlled spinal decompression for the lower back as part of general chiropractic care, unless contraindicated after assessment. Choose a chiropractic appointment; a separate decompression booking is not required.

01

What is spinal decompression therapy?

Spinal decompression uses a specialised table to apply controlled, cyclical traction to the lower back. The position and settings are adjusted for the person’s presentation.

It is different from a manual adjustment. It is offered as part of general chiropractic care at ChiroRelief, unless contraindicated after assessment. Your care can also include education, movement advice, hands-on care or rehabilitation.

02

Spinal decompression for the lower back

ChiroRelief’s spinal decompression service focuses on lower-back and radiating leg presentations. The clinic does not offer spinal decompression for the neck.

Your care begins with a conversation and assessment so the table settings and broader plan can be personalised to you.

03

Booking, fees and appointment duration

The first consultation and second appointment (Report of Findings) are $150 each for approximately 60 minutes per visit. Ongoing chiropractic and spinal decompression appointments are $109 for approximately 30–40 minutes. Spinal decompression is included in the fee for every visit, with no separate decompression charge.

Spinal decompression forms part of general chiropractic care, unless contraindicated after assessment. Choose a chiropractic appointment.

04

What happens before treatment?

Your chiropractor asks about your symptoms, health history, previous treatment, daily activities and goals. The examination may consider movement, relevant clinical findings and the behaviour of your symptoms.

You will receive an explanation of the available options and have an opportunity to ask questions before beginning care. Treatment is included at the first appointment, with lighter decompression settings initially unless contraindicated after assessment.

What a session may involve

You remain clothed and are positioned on the table using supports appropriate to the area being addressed. The practitioner selects and monitors the traction settings and can adjust the session as required.

Comfortable clothing is generally appropriate. Current appointment types, fees and durations are shown on ChiroRelief’s secure online booking page.
