Disc-related back pain and sciatica can make walking, sitting, and sleeping uncomfortable. For patients in Yuba City, Marysville, and the Yuba-Sutter area looking for a non-surgical option, spinal decompression therapy offers a conservative way to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves.

Yuba Sutter Chiropractic, led by Dr. Gurj Kalay, DC, provides spinal decompression as part of a comprehensive approach to back pain, leg pain, and disc-related symptoms.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a motorized or manual therapy that gently stretches the spine. The goal is to create negative pressure within the disc space, which may:

• Reduce bulging or herniated disc material pressing on nerves
• Improve circulation and nutrient delivery into the disc
• Relieve sciatica symptoms such as leg pain, numbness, or tingling
• Reduce muscle guarding around the lower back

Conditions That May Respond to Decompression

Spinal decompression may be appropriate for patients with:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Sciatica or radiating leg pain
• Degenerative disc disease
• Chronic lower back pain
• Neck pain with arm symptoms (cervical decompression)

How It Is Used at Yuba Sutter Chiropractic

Dr. Kalay integrates spinal decompression with chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue techniques, and rehab guidance. The clinic also uses Cervical Traction for neck complaints and SOT Blocking for pelvic and sacral balance. This combination allows treatment to address both the mechanical and neurological components of disc pain.

Is Spinal Decompression Right for You?

Not every patient is a candidate for decompression. During your evaluation, Dr. Kalay will review your symptoms, history, and examination findings to determine whether this approach is appropriate. The clinic welcomes walk-ins and serves Yuba City, Marysville, Wheatland, Plumas Lake, Olivehurst, Colusa, and Live Oak.
