DOC Decompression Therapy for Cervical & Lumbar Disc Repair

At Doyle Chiropractic, we specialize in helping patients find lasting relief from back and neck pain through the power of non-surgical spinal decompression using our advanced DOC Decompression Table.


This technology allows precise, computer-controlled traction to gently separate spinal segments—creating space for injured discs and nerves to heal naturally without surgery, injections, or medication.

How Spinal Decompression Works

The DOC Decompression System (Decompression of the Spine) uses sophisticated sensors and programmable pull patterns to safely stretch targeted areas of the spine.

Unlike basic traction devices, the DOC table continuously monitors muscle resistance, adjusting tension in real time for maximum comfort and precision.


Here’s what happens during a session:

  1. Targeted Disc Unloading – The table gently elongates the spine, reducing pressure inside the discs and drawing bulging or herniated material back toward the center.
  2. Negative Pressure Effect – This vacuum-like force enhances nutrient and oxygen flow into the disc, promoting hydration and tissue repair.
  3. Nerve Decompression – As disc pressure decreases, irritated nerves have space to recover, reducing pain, tingling, and muscle tension.
  4. Re-education Phase – The process retrains spinal stabilizers and restores balance so results last beyond the table.


Each session lasts about 15–20 minutes and is completely comfortable—most patients describe it as relaxing, gentle stretching with a sense of relief afterward.


Benefits of DOC Decompression Therapy

  • Non-surgical, drug-free, and painless
  • Targets cervical (neck) and lumbar (low-back) discs precisely
  • Reduces nerve compression and radiating leg or arm pain
  • Improves disc hydration and mobility
  • Promotes long-term healing rather than masking symptoms
  • Complements chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy, and rehab
  • Safe for chronic and post-surgical patients (as medically cleared)

Conditions Commonly Treated

Our doctors integrate the DOC table into customized care plans for a wide range of spinal conditions, including:

  • Herniated or Bulging Discs
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Sciatica & Nerve Compression
  • Spinal Stenosis
  • Chronic Neck or Low Back Pain
  • Radiculopathy (numbness, tingling, weakness)
  • Facet Joint Syndrome
  • Post-Surgical Disc Syndrome

The Doyle Chiropractic Difference

Our clinic combines the most advanced decompression equipment available with decades of experience in spinal biomechanics.


By integrating DOC Decompression with laser therapy, shockwave, and structural rehabilitation, we accelerate disc healing and improve functional outcomes—naturally.


Every patient receives a personalized protocol that accounts for body weight, disc level, traction angle, and pull intensity.



The table’s design allows both lumbar and cervical decompression, enabling complete spinal restoration from neck to low back.

What to Expect During Treatment

  • You’ll be comfortably positioned on the table—lumbar treatments are typically done face-up, while cervical sessions use a supportive head cradle.
  • The system gently cycles through traction and relaxation phases while constantly monitoring your comfort.
  • After treatment, many patients experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and a feeling of “lightness” in the spine.


Most care plans include multiple sessions over several weeks to allow progressive healing and stabilization.

  • Q: Who is a candidate for decompression?

    A: Candidacy is determined after your evaluation. Certain conditions are not appropriate for traction-based care.

  • Q: How many sessions will I need?

    A: Plans vary. Many patients begin with a short series, then taper as function returns.
