Spinal Decompression Therapy
Pain Relief and Tissue Regeneration
At PainLab, we provide non-surgical spinal decompression therapy in Belmont and Medowie helping the communities in the Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Port Stephens area’s. Spinal Decompression Therapy is a highly effective treatment for alleviating back and neck pain caused by conditions like herniated discs or pinched nerves. Using advanced technology, this therapy not only provides pain relief but also promotes the regeneration of healthy tissue within the spine such as the discs, facet joints, deep spinal ligaments and muscle, offering long-term solutions to spinal pain..

01Benefits of Spinal Decompression TherapyIf you’re dealing with severe back or neck pain and are in the Belmont, Medowie, Lake Macqurie, Newcastle or Port Stephens areas and have been told that surgery is your only option, our spinal decompression therapy may offer a safe, non-invasive alternative. By gently stretching the spine, this therapy reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves, promoting the healing of herniated discs and alleviating nerve compression. What sets this treatment apart is its ability to support the body’s natural regenerative processes, encouraging the growth of new, healthy tissue in damaged areas of the spine which has been supported in the scientific literature. | 02How Spinal Decompression Promotes Tissue RegenerationThe spinal decompression process involves gently creating negative pressure in the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract. This takes pressure off the surrounding nerves and creates an environment where blood flow, oxygen, and essential nutrients can reach the affected area, encouraging the regeneration of healthy tissues.. This approach not only reduces pain but also addresses the root cause, helping to restore mobility and improve overall spinal health. |

Why Choose Us?
Our Advanced Decompression Technology
We use the latest decompression technology, which allows us to customise your treatment for optimal results. The decompression table is designed to target specific areas of the spine and apply a controlled, gentle stretching force that helps restore the spine’s proper alignment.
Our clinic is dedicated to providing long-term solutions for spinal conditions by focusing on non-invasive, advanced technologies that promote the body’s natural healing processes. Through Spinal Decompression Therapy, we not only relieve pain but also help your spine regenerate and recover, supporting your return to an active, healthy lifestyle.
