Disc problems
Exclusive to Swansea Chiropractic Clinic
The Only Clinic in Swansea Offering Advanced Spinal Decompression Therapy
At Swansea Chiropractic Clinic, we are proud to be the only clinic in Swansea providing true, computer-controlled spinal decompression therapy.
This advanced, non-surgical treatment is designed for patients with persistent back pain, disc problems, and nerve-related symptoms who have not responded fully to traditional approaches. Unlike standard traction or stretching treatments, spinal decompression uses precise, programmable forces to gently reduce pressure within specific spinal segments.
What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-informed treatment aimed at improving spinal function by:
- Reducing pressure within spinal discs
- Improving disc movement and hydration
- Reducing irritation to spinal nerves
- Supporting long-term recovery in chronic spinal conditions
Treatment is delivered using a specialist decompression table, controlled by computer software that adjusts force, angle, and rhythm to your individual spine.
Conditions commonly treated with spinal decompression
Spinal decompression may be appropriate for patients experiencing:
- Disc bulges or disc herniations
- Sciatica or nerve pain into the arms or legs
- Chronic lower back pain or neck pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Facet joint irritation
- Ongoing symptoms despite previous care
All patients undergo a full chiropractic assessment to determine suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is spinal decompression painful?
No. Most patients find it comfortable and relaxing. The treatment is gentle and carefully controlled.
How is this different from traction?
Traction applies a general pulling force. Spinal decompression uses computer-controlled, targeted forces designed to focus on specific spinal levels.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition. Most patients require a course of care, which will be discussed after your assessment.
Is spinal decompression safe?
Yes, when provided following proper assessment. We carefully screen all patients to ensure suitability.
Can everyone have spinal decompression?
No. Certain conditions mean decompression may not be appropriate. A full consultation is always required.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us.
