Spinal Decompression in Boise, Idaho
If back pain or a herniated disc keeps you up at night, spinal decompression may help. It's a gentle, non-surgical way to ease pressure on your spine.
When You Need Spinal Decompression in Boise
Chronic low back pain that won't quit is a sign decompression may help. Numbness down your leg or a herniated disc your doctor mentioned are signs too. We see a lot of this after Boise winters. Icy Greenbelt sidewalks and Bench-area hills cause slips that strain the lower spine. Foothills trail runners and cyclists show up with similar complaints after a rough fall on Table Rock or Camel's Back. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. It takes pressure off compressed discs and nerves.[1] Waiting only lets a disc problem get worse. What starts as mild sciatica can turn into constant nerve pain if you put off care. Dr. Henze has treated over 9,000 patients in 30 years. He's seen how much faster people heal when they come in early. Waiting it out slows healing down.
Herniated Disc
Decompression takes pressure off the disc so it can heal instead of pressing on a nerve.
Sciatica Pain
Leg pain, tingling, or numbness often eases once the nerve root has room to breathe.
Chronic Low Back Pain
Pain that's stuck around for months often responds well when other treatments haven't worked.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Gentle stretching can slow the wear and improve blood flow to worn discs.
Post-Injury Stiffness
Falls on icy Boise sidewalks or trail spills often leave stiffness that decompression can loosen.
Failed Back Surgery Pain
For patients who still hurt after surgery, decompression offers a non-surgical option to try next.

Spinal Decompression Questions
Here's what Boise patients ask us most about spinal decompression.
-
How much does spinal decompression cost?
New patients start with our $99 special, which covers your exam, digital X-rays, and first treatment. After that, cost depends on how many sessions your case needs. We always give you a clear price before treatment begins.
-
How long does a decompression session take?
Most sessions run about 15 to 20 minutes on the table. Many patients combine it with other treatments in the same visit. Full treatment plans usually run several weeks of regular sessions.
-
Can I just stretch at home instead of coming in?
Home stretching helps a little, but it can't target compressed discs the way our Back On Trac system does. Without proper diagnosis, you might even make a disc problem worse. It's worth getting checked before trying to treat it yourself.
-
How is this different from a regular chiropractic adjustment?
An adjustment realigns joints, while decompression stretches the spine to relieve disc pressure. We often use both together for disc-related pain. Your treatment plan decides which fits your case.
-
How soon should I get treated if my leg is numb?
Numbness down the leg means a nerve is under pressure, and that's worth checking soon. Waiting can let the nerve irritation turn into lasting damage. Call us and we'll get you in for an exam quickly.
-
What are signs I might need spinal decompression?
Look for chronic low back pain, leg numbness, or pain that gets worse when you sit. A lot of our patients come in after a fall. They slip on icy Boise sidewalks or have trail spills in the foothills. If pain lingers past a couple weeks, it's time to get checked.
-
Is spinal decompression painful?
No, most patients say it feels like a gentle stretch, not pain. The table controls the pull carefully so it stays comfortable. Many patients actually find it relaxing once they get used to it.
